MCP, MCSA, MCSE, MCSD are to name a few of the Microsoft certifications. Over the last two years Microsoft has added numerous new certifications. Many people are confused over which certification is best for them, and the pathway to gain that certification. Are you an applications or web trainer who would like to go technical, but don’t know where to start? Not all Microsoft certifications require a year of study. Recently Microsoft has filled the gap in the market between high level Application users who want to know more technical information and those who want full technical knowledge. Come and hear about the certifications available and maybe move your career in a new direction.

Visual Basic for Applications in Access http://nwiitt.org.uk/visual-basic-for-applications-in-access http://nwiitt.org.uk/visual-basic-for-applications-in-access#comments Sun, 16 May 2010 18:26:08 +0000 NWIITT http://nwiitt.org.uk/?p=1764 Overview

VBA is Microsoft’s macro language for Microsoft Office and other desktop products.

VBA enables customers to buy off-the-shelf software and customize it to meet their specific business processes, rather than build solutions from scratch. This helps them save time and money, reduce risks, leverage their programming skills, and deliver precisely what users need.

Valerie will be demonstrating several practical implementations of VBA in Access.

FTP is used to upload your website to a webserver. But there’s more to it than that. Did you know that there are several different ways to do this – and some of them are free! Learn about the different options and find out about some handy shortcuts too.
