IntroductiontoVisualBasic6
 Visual Basic, derived from the Basic language, is an object-based and event-
driven programming language from Microsoft. This language is relatively easy to learn. It
enables you to create GUI (Graphical user interface) applications easily using the Rapid
Application Development (RAD) technique. The one most interesting feature of this
language is that it comes with a designer called Integrated Development Environment
(IDE). The easy-to-use tools of the IDE enable you to easily create buttons, textbox, and
other controls for your desktop application.

Visual Basic 6.0 is a very powerful programming language. It enables GUI application
development, provides access to databases and enables the creation of ActiveX controls.

In addition, Visual Basic 6 is Event-driven because we need to write code in order

to perform some tasks in response to certain events. The events usually comprises but not
limited to the user's inputs. Some of the events are load, click, double click, drag and
drop, pressing the keys and more. We will learn more about events in later lessons.
Therefore, a VB6 Program is made up of many subprograms, each has its own program
code, and each can be executed independently and at the same time each can be linked
together in one way or another.

Start New Project

RuntheVisualBasicsoftwarefromthelistofprogramsoradesktopshortcut icon. A
appear.A window as same as the following picture will appear.
 Click "Standard EXE". Start a Standard .exe type ofproject. In the beginner level, you will only
learn about this type of project.

Other project types on this window are for the advanced learners. You can do a lot of things
implying VB6 is giving you enough power in your hand through these different project types.

TheIntegratedDevelopmentEnvironment

After this, the main workspace appears where you will develop your application with the
tools in IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

It is very important to know the names of all the elements of this development environment.
The tools available here makes it very easy for you to develop an application. The VB6 IDE provides
you many tools in one place. You can add a control on the form of your choice, set a property of an
object from the Properties Window on the right hand side, set the form layout and many more things
that you can use alongside your coding. You can even fill the ToolBox with lots of additional
controls.
The Menu Bar

The Menu Bar contains all the menu such as File, Edit, View, Tools and soon.

TheTool Bar

The Tool Bar contains all the tools such as Open, Save, Copy, Cut, Start and so on.

TheTool Box
 ViewCode Window
Double-click on form or any control on the form or click "view code" iconin
explorer window to view the code window.

Save project

After developing your application, save your project in order to modify or improve
it later, or make an executable file with a few clicks. The project, form and module are
saved in .vbp, .frm and .bas extensions respectively.
The Properties Window

TheProject ExplorerWindow

The Project Explorer Window gives you a view of the modules or forms which are
contained in your VB application. You can switch from one form to another or from one
module to another from the Project Explorer Window. You can view the code window of
a particular form or module as well.

The Code Window

You need the Code Window to write code that will specify the behavior of the
forms and the objects. Remember that the Form is an object.
 The Immediate Window helps in debugging your program by displaying the current
values of variables or expressions in a certain line of your code.

The Object Browser

Press F2 to showtheObject Browser Window.It is veryuseful because youcan learn

about all the methods, functions, properties and events of the objects. If you want to
know about any property, method, event, function etc, simply search in the Object
Browser.
ToolBox

Label
The label control is used to display text. It is also used to label other controls. The end

user cannot edit the label text.

Command Button:

TheCommand Button control is simply abut to nthat we see inour daily-use

software. When the end-user clicks the CommandButton, the program behaves according
to the code assigned in the CommonButton

OptionButton

This control enables the end-user to select one among several options.Only one
option button among others in a group can be on at the same time.You can name an
option using the Caption property.

Check Box

The Check Box control is used to make a yes/no or true-false selection. You can
check more than one Check Box at the same time that let you make multiple choices. You
can label this control using the Caption property.

Vscroll Bar & Hscroll Bar

Vscroll Bar and Hscroll Bar control slet you create Verticalscroll bar and
Horizontal scroll bar respectively.

Frame

The Frame control is used as a container of other controls. This is also used to
group different controls especially in Option Button controls when you wish to select
more than one option. The Caption property associated with it is useful to label the frame.

ListBox&ComboBox

The ListBox control contains a number of items. The user can select one or more
items from the list.
Drive List Box , Dir ListBox &File ListBox

These controls are of tenused together to perform filerelate task s like opening or
selecting files that are stored in the secondary memory.

Timer

The Timer control is not visible on the form when you run the program. It is used
to execute lines of code repeatedly at specific intervals.

The Data Control

The Data control isused for database programming.

Common Properties in VB6

In this lesson, you'll learn a bout the common properties used inVB6.

Back Color and Fore Color

The Back Color property sets the background color of an object while the
ForeColor property changes the foreground color used to display text.
 INTRODUCTION TO MS ACCESS

Microsoft Access (MS Access) is a Relational Database Management

System (RDBMS) developed by Microsoft. It is a part of the Microsoft Office
suite and is widely used for creating, managing, and analyzing databases. MS
Access provides a user-friendly interface for handling large amounts of
structured data efficiently.

Unlike traditional databases that require complex programming

knowledge, MS Access allows users to create databases using built-in
templates, tables, queries, forms, and reports. It supports data entry, storage,
retrieval, and reporting, making it suitable for small to medium-sized businesses
and personal use.

MS Access integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft applications like

Excel, Outlook, and SharePoint, allowing users to import and export data easily.
It also supports Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), enabling automation and
advanced customization.

With features like multi-user support, security settings, and data

validation, MS Access is a cost-effective and efficient solution for managing
databases without requiring extensive SQL knowledge. It is commonly used in
businesses, schools, and organizations for inventory management, customer
tracking, and reporting systems.

MS Access uses the .ACCDB or older .MDB file format to store data.
While it is ideal for small to medium-sized applications, it has a size limit of
2GB per database file. For larger databases, it can connect to more powerful
database management systems like SQL Server.
 Part of Microsoft Office Suite – MS Access is included in the Microsoft
Office suite, often bundled with applications like Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint.
 User-Friendly Interface – It offers a graphical user interface (GUI) that
allows users to create and manage databases without extensive
programming knowledge.
 Database Structure – Access databases consist of tables, queries, forms,
reports, and macros to store and manipulate data efficiently.
 Tables – The core component where data is stored in rows and columns,
similar to an Excel spreadsheet.
 Queries – Used to retrieve and manipulate data from tables based on
specific conditions.
 Forms – User-friendly interfaces that allow easy data entry and
interaction with the database.
 Reports – Designed to format and present data in a structured way for
printing or viewing.
 Macros & VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) – Automates tasks and
enhances database functionality using programming.
 Data Import & Export – MS Access supports importing data from various
sources like Excel, SQL Server, and text files, as well as exporting data
for external use.
 Multi-User Support – It allows multiple users to access and edit the
database simultaneously over a shared network.

 Integration with Other Microsoft Applications – Access integrates well

with Excel, Outlook, and SharePoint, making it a flexible tool for data
management.
  Security Features – It provides password protection, encryption, and user-
level permissions for database security.
 Templates – Built-in templates help users create databases quickly for
tasks like inventory management, employee records, and customer
tracking.
 Scalability – While MS Access is best suited for small to medium-scale
databases, it can connect to larger databases like SQL Server for
enterprise applications.
 Cost-Effective Solution – Compared to full-fledged database
management systems like SQL Server or Oracle, MS Access is a more
affordable and accessible option for small businesses and individuals.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES OF MS ACCESS:

1.Primary Key and Indexing

Allows setting a primary key for unique identification of records and

uses indexing to speed up searches and queries.

2. Data Types and Field Properties :

Supports various data types such as Text, Number, Date/Time, Currency,

Yes/No, and Attachment. Field properties like input masks and default values
help maintain data integrity.

3. Lookup Wizard :

Helps users create dropdown lists in tables and forms by fetching data
from another table, ensuring consistency.

4. Switchboard Manager :
 Allows creating a menu-driven interface to navigate the database easily,
making it more user-friendly.

5. Attachment Data Type :

Unlike other database systems, MS Access allows users to attach files

like images, documents, and PDFs directly to records.

6. OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) :

Supports embedding objects such as Excel spreadsheets, Word

documents, and images inside the database.

7. Crosstab Queries :

Enables users to create pivot-style summary tables, similar to pivot

tables in Excel, for better data analysis.

8. Replication and Synchronization :

Provides the ability to replicate a database for offline work and later
synchronize changes when connected.

9. Action Queries :

MS Access supports Append, Delete, Update, and Make-Table Queries

to manipulate large datasets efficiently.

10. Split Database Architecture :

Allows separating the database into a front-end (forms, queries, reports)

and a back-end (tables, data) for better performance and multi-user access.

11. Hyperlink Field Support :

 Stores clickable links to websites, emails, or files, useful for web-
integrated databases.

12. Calculated Fields :

Users can create fields that perform calculations directly within tables
without requiring queries or reports.

13. Data Macros :

Automates actions at the table level, such as automatically updating a

field when another field changes.

14. Cloud and Web Integration :

Can be published to SharePoint or Access Web Apps, enabling users to

access the database via a web browser.

15. Multi-Tenant Database Design :

Supports designing databases that serve multiple users with different

access levels, improving data security and organization.
