Hiya.....

Could anyone recommend a VBA textbook? Or online resource? I'm not an absolute beginner but pretty close to one so the simpler the better.

Craig, don't make the mistake of going for some easy sounding book that promises to teach you in twenty-four hours or some rubbish like that. Get yourself a proper reference book. These books have a lot of the basics, not all but the point about basics is that they are basic and not too hard to figure out especially with the help provided with VBA. I was recently asked to recommend a book for someone starting Access programming and when I went and looked the best one I found was called
Code:
Access 2000 Power Programming
by F. Scott Baker and published by SAMS. If you want a book for all flavours of VBA I don't know a good one off hand but try and get something that has a couple of thousand pages and says 'Advanced' or something in the title. A book like this will last you years not weeks like a lot of introductory books. I'm speaking from experience here - I've a small stack of '.. for Dummies' etc. in the corner of my room (it took me a while to figure it out - don't beleive what they tell you on the cover of these things);-).
