Access 2000 Help

The project is simple. I am attempting to work with Access 2k. I am a beginner at it, but I'm learning a great deal. I need someone to explain the following with example code: 1. I have database. It has about 30k records. It has text, along with date and numbers. 2. I know how to do select and make table queries, but I'd like to have a great deal of control over the database. 3. I'd like to go through each record and be able to compare and modify record items and store the information to a new table. 4. I;ve tried the queries and some SQL , but I think I would have more control by using Visual Basic with Access, I'm not sure. 5. I've tried ADO with recordset, but I'm unable to get any functional code. 6. I would like to have someone explain with code the proper way to get going with this project. 7. In summary, I'm trying to do the following: Open a Table Go through each record If a date< 9/27/05 change this to 10/12/05 if a value = x change another field Create a new table with the new data in the specific columns, keep the format of the original table. Then create a report. Mainly, I'd like to manipulate Access 2k data using Visual Basic. I have question such as: I'm not sure if it's better to use the Visual Basic inside Access or Visual Basic 6.0 which I own. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
