Inside this Access VBA Intermediate course, I will show you a different approach to take with menu buttons and how you can set up the “Power Search” for any table in just a matter of minutes! You will also learn how to, with one click, create merge letters in Word with the search results or how to create and title a new Excel sheet.

This system contains all the code to:
- Provide a simple to understand and use menu system that can be used with the mouse or keyboard.
- Control the proper addition, editing, and deletion of records.
- Quickly sort and locate records based on any item of data.
- Instantly create letters and/or envelopes for the displayed record using Microsoft Word with two keystrokes.
- Allow the user to do highly complex searches without knowing anything about Access.
- Instantly Create reports based on those searches with complete descriptions in the title.
- Export search results to a new Excel spreadsheet, then format and title it, with just a two keystrokes.
- Create a merge document in Word with the search results for bulk mailing.
- Allow you to add all these functions to an existing form in less than one minute.
