Course Description
This review says it all:
"This is the best Udemy class I've taken so far. The only thing better than learning by doing is to learn to do something USEFUL. This class teaches you a useful skill (email Excel reports) but it also shows you how easy and powerful VBA can be. It only took about 3 hours to gain useful knowledge of Excel, Access and VBA. Good audio/video quality plus example files and detailed PDF instructions. We need more like this!!" - Russ Cannizzo
This is an INTERMEDIATE Microsoft Access VBA Course and you should take the "VBA for Non-Programmers" course, or the equivalent, before taking this one. This course builds on the Macro and VBA code created in the course "Microsoft Access 365: Link Data to Excel with Macros and VBA" so it is recommended that you also take that course before this one. In the course I assume you already know how to create Access VBA functions and subroutines and I move more quickly when creating VBA Code.
This shows you several ways to use Access VBA to automate the distribution of Excel files by sending them as email attachments. We learn how to send Access objects as attachments with a one line command, then we replace the multiple query update macro created in the previous course with VBA Code. We then learn how to control Outlook and send emails to multiple recipients. We conclude by examining the VBA techniques used in a simple, yet powerful, Emailing database.
From a Student -
"This course is amazing, I thought that was more difficult to create a program to send emails from Access, but not really! Bruce's explanation makes the things easier to understand, he is an extremely good teacher, an expert in this topic. I have taken several of his courses and when I finished I have the feeling of wanting to learn more, I've definitely will continue my learning of Access with his courses, I recommend his courses a lot, very useful and interesting." - Roberto Carlos Huerta Gomez
In short, to the point videos, you will learn MANY new Access VBA techniques that you will use for years to come! This course is a great followup to the first VBA course in that it shows you the best way to use VBA to automate many common tasks, not just emailing.
* Videos show you every step of each process!
* There is no fluff and you can go through the entire course in a few hours!
From another Student -
"I'm little rusty on VBA skills yet the instructor has explained the needed commands in a way I would listen to him for hours. And files are downloadable too so I know where to return when my business clients need this great automation." - Matt S Rinc
Anyone with a solid understanding of the basics of Access VBA can easily accomplish all the tasks in the course, since every click and keystroke is shown and a finished copy of the database is provided. This is a great way to expand your VBA skills and discover more of the incredible power available with Access programming.
Think of how much time this will save you! Emailing from Access will be SIMPLE for you and you can save many hours each month! You will be able to control data in subforms in ways you did not know possible!
Another Student -
"Excellent teaching style with easy to understand explanations. Bruce is excellent when it comes to responding to queries, and is happy to hear any ideas you may have to improve (and expand) the course. Buy it!!!" - Ray McConaghy
This course could greatly increase your productivity and help you develop skills that are in very high demand in the workplace.

Hello, my name is Bruce Myron. I am a self employed Access programmer and general computer consultant to small and medium sized businesses. I got into programming because I was tired of all the jargon most programmers use and how they don't seem to care about business.
"Technology is great but I've always been more interested in how it can be used to make companies more profitable." - Bruce
I live in Portland, Oregon and have many long term relationships with local businesses. Many of the systems I have built for these companies are critical to the success of the business. My specialty is taking the needs of the business and translating them into a system that facilitates, rather than obstructs, what they are trying to do.
I have also spent time as a full time trainer providing group classes on the Microsoft Office programs.
In my opinion the computer industry as a whole is a colossal failure in helping businesses solve their problems. I listen carefully to the needs expressed by my clients and then deliver the simplest, most flexible solution possible.
Over the years I have found that many of the techniques I have used enabled me to survive and thrive when many others have tried the computer programming business and failed.
My goal is to show my students how to create systems that business will value and that will create long term income.

Bruce, I have an access form that creates an event appointment in an outlook calendar. I would like to put something in the calendar event that will call an access form with a parameter so the form will show only the information specific to the event. Let me know if there is a course for this type of requirement so I can enroll. Thanks again. Your courses have helped me a lot . Ken

I found the course very insightful. the level of detail and understanding the need was duly met by the instructor. That easy to understandable language and ease with which he explains was really good. The instructor is very responsive and I liked the way he responded back within 12hrs. I believe that the quality was course is already excellent that it doesn't require any improvements. Thank you Bruce and Billy.
By Robert C on 11/25/2016
The material presented in this course is very practical. Bruce presented the material in a clear and concise way that held my attention. I had snags along the way and Bruce patiently answered all of my questions. As a Bonus, Bruce has been adding to the course, which is permanently available when one wants to refer back to it. I look forward to more courses offered by Bruce. His many years of coding experience shine through. Thank you for the excellent presentation Bruce.

I have now completed the course, and I have learnt a great deal about using MS Access with Outlook email and creating PDF files; with a little bit of VBA programming thrown in. Bruce Myron is an excellent tutor, giving solid, clear teaching that is easy to follow and easy to understand. He moves through everything at a gentle pace, but not slow, with a good teaching voice, and he draws attention to everything he does so that you can follow along easily. The course content is very comprehensive, and delivers sound knowledge. The subject content is very comprehensive and thorough, and complete, and helpful explanations are given for why a procedure is done in the way it is; with helpful alternatives included. I would highly recommend this course.
By Rodney Lehrbass on 3/15/2016
Again, I have taken several of Bruce's courses. I would take this course 3rd in his series. They ll build on the previous course to establish a solid foundation in Access. I can't say enough about how great this series on Access is and how interfacing it with other office applications like Excel and Outlook can improve productivity and overall function of any database. This is the real deal and it utilizes real world data and real situations you will need to apply. Enjoy it.
By David Alford on 8/25/2015
The content is good like the name says The delivery of the course is very informative The course covers very good every day items but has future room for expansion to allow different types of files to be sent instead of just Excel files - Like PDF Files of Invoices, Statements, Lists etc... Looking forward to additions to this course Thanks Bruce!

This is a follow up course from Bruce's Access to Excel & Access VBA. No disappointments in his now family consistent style of teaching - simple, clear, & right to the heart of its real world application! I'm giving it a 5 because it follows on what I already know from the previous courses & my knowledge of VBA. You will enjoy the course like I did if you have basic to mid level understanding VBA & gone through Bruce's other courses on VBA and Access to Excel. If you haven't (though I strongly suggest you do), not a problem. Have an open mind and follow along - absolutely no way for you to get lost in any maze!
