Summary

A thorough understanding of the Access event model is an essential skill for serious Access devel-

opers. Access is unusually well equipped with events that enable developers to respond to virtually

every move made by users. In addition, the data-driven events provide virtually total control over

how Access works with and manages data.

The next chapter continues exploring the many uses of the VBA programming language. There

you’ll learn many more details of adding powerful VBA procedures to Access forms and reports.
