Create a Hangman Game in Microsoft Access - A Fun Way To Learn VBA Computer Programming!

In this video, I will show you how to create a Hangman game in Microsoft Access, complete with images to show the gallows and the stages of the hangman being drawn.
Adam from Fort Dodge, Iowa (Site Moderator, Access Veteran) asks: Have you ever thought of showcasing some of the weirder stuff that Access can do such as games? I think this kind of stuff would be really interesting to some people.

That was really cool Richard. I'm thinking this could also be used for other games as well, like a 'Wheel of Fortune' type game. Nice Job!!

[@599CD]

Absolutely!

[@andrewh5968]

I once did Yahtzee and higher card or lower card. Great ways to learn! Yahtzee taught me how to evaluate arrays in VBA and higher or lower taught me how to keep track of records and count of cards!

[@599CD]

Games are the way to learn! :)

[@9856CB]

Great video, great style👍

[@599CD]

Glad you liked it!

[@colinhursell9176]

Great! More VBA in the Tech Help videos please!

[@599CD]

I try to keep the regular TechHelp videos as simple as possible for non-programmers. The Extended Cuts are loaded with VBA. Subscribe! :)

[@schleylynch3303]

This is perfect. Im struggling with training people and this will help me a lot. Im going to use the picture back ground for a diagram and put different construction pictures in with arrows and have them answer for each arrow. Might take me a min to make but this is awesome. Even if you turn it into a game for kids learning math or something.

[@599CD]

Glad it was helpful!

[@logcabinschoolhouse4294]

May I teach this hangman game in my class? I'll absolutely reference your website and KZbin channel. This is a wonderful idea making a hangman game. My kids will love it.

[@599CD]

Go right ahead. Tell the kids I say "howdy!"

[@logcabinschoolhouse4294]

@@599CD Will do! I get homeschoolers from the US, Canada, and Australia and you helped remind me how FUN Access is! I haven't played around in it for 20 years! What are your favorite simple games for middle school ages? Starting with your hangman!

[@jeremymcquade979]

This is great!

[@599CD]

thanks

[@petervansoestdevrolijkeboe3320]

Love it!

[@599CD]

Thanks, Peter.

[@HolidayIsland]

This was another great video and was able to create it on my own, even added categories. Just one question, is there anyway to show us how to handle multiple words with spaces, like "Access Learning Zone" or "Jean-Luc Picard" ? Love your channel!

[@599CD]

Hmm... that would require a little work, but it's doable. I'll add it to the list for a future video.

[@booysedonie]

Hey! Love this tutorial. I'm gonna make this Tommorow. I was wondering if I may make a video of me making this. I'll give credits at the start if that's okay with you!

[@599CD]

Sure thing. Have fun! :)

[@srshow7098]

Richard how give a hint about the word to people . to get this on you tube do i have be a member

[@599CD]

Sure you can easily build a hint word in. That wouldn't be very difficult. If you want to download my copy of the database then yes you have to be a gold member otherwise you can build it yourself. You'll learn more by building it yourself.

[@NaserAhmed173]

This is very good for beginners to learn VBA. By the way, how can I make it an EXE file?

[@599CD]

You can't. Best you can do is 599cd.com/Runtime

[@cruzinsweetsntreats]

Extended cut option.... Show the word after death, if desired, otherwise, reset.

[@599CD]

Good idea. :)
