comment Outlook.Application on Access Database
Have you checked Outlook when running this code? Outlook has a security prompt that comes up and prevents an outside source from sending emails without accepting something on the security prompt. And yes, it does cause MS Access to hang when that prompt comes up.

comment "Write Conflict" error appears in single user database
Why not use DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord? I'm not saying it will fix your problem but is the standard way to save a record.

comment "Write Conflict" error appears in single user database
While a Form's dirty property is writable, I don't think it should be used that way. Create your own blnDirty variable and use that instead. You can always run a check If Me.Dirty = True Then blnDirty = True.

You have two For statements and only one Next statement. A For Statement must always have a corresponding Next.

comment Microsoft Access Drawing Line on Listboxes
You want some kind of separator lines inside your list box? Or you want lines drawn on the form, outside of the listboxes?

comment Difference Between ApplyFilter and SetFilter
I've been programming in Access VBA for about 8 years and I have never used either one. I use the Form's Filter and FilterOn properties. The DoCmd object isn't necessarily well thought out. It contains many oddities. It's basically an object built to perform the same actions that are built into the Access GUI.

comment What is wrong with this query, and how can I make it more efficient?
I would try to avoid having to use a query that looks like this. I don't think it's wise to have logic contained inside your ProjectNum that causes you to need these kinds of queries/functions. What if the priority for the project changes, do you change the ProjectNum? Use incrementing numbers for the ProjectNum and then use a Priority column.

comment Importing emails from exchange server
I believe you will have to write code for Outlook. I'm not aware that you can connect directly to Exchange Server and retrieve emails. Take a look at this question: stackoverflow.com/questions/8293651/…

comment Insert query for specifies columns in Access VBA gives error "3061" - Too few parameters
I don't think you can use a "Group By" on an "Insert Into" statement. I also think it's best to avoid using Joins on an Insert Into statement. Why do you need to create the field on the fly? That's a "code smell". I suspect you are adding columns/fields for years or months which is never a good idea!

comment How to Delete a record in a subform when you click a button
You're trying to delete using a Query name in the From Clause. I don't recommend performing Deletes on a query. Always put table names in the From clause. If there are multiple tables then you should several delete queries or else use "Cascade Deletes" on your relationship.

comment How to Delete a record in a subform when you click a button
I was assuming you were talking about bound forms. When you use SQL statements on bound forms you bypass the many different features and events of the form. Users might end up seeing rows with #DELETED in them. Or read/write errors if they delete a record they were editing.

comment How to Delete a record in a subform when you click a button
Your original question doesn't say what kind of form you're trying to use. My reply has nothing to do with visual studio.
