IMO, it used too much [] syntax, which may be unnecessarily confusing. The following typical syntax are enough.

I guess I still don't understand the difference between the [] and () syntax in that manner. Is it slower to use []?

Strictly speaking, the two are different, however, with COM_L there is no difference between the following two.

I kind of figured that's what you were getting at once I looked at it again, I'm updating the functions now.

I haven't found any answers here on Microsoft Access support? I know about the existence of ADO COM. But I'm looking specifically about how to click buttons, enter text into text boxes, etc. on Forms.

The AHK Window Spy does not differentiate the controls in an Access Form. Even clicking coordinates won't work because the "window" that a Form is in is not recognized as a window by Window Spy. So instead of the coordinates on a Form being relative to the Form's window, they are instead relative to the overall MS Access window. So if a user moves the Form's window, Window Spy shows the coordinates as changed.

The minimal solution I can think of is to maximize the Form's window when it's opened using VBA:

Is there an equivalent for Excel to the IE Readystate check? I want to Save a spreadsheet midway through operation, and wait until its done saving before I continue.

the save method does halt the thread until it completes if your code "magically" skips lines its due to a logic error. something in your code is causing this not related to the save

since you didnt post your code we are helpless to do other than point out this obvious fact

I am having an issue with the save method, but it only occurs when opening an existing file, not when starting a new one. When trying to save I get the error "A file named RESUME.XLW already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it?"

The file was not named RESUME before, but RESUME.XLW gets created in my Documents folder after saving. It does still save the file I am trying to save as well though. Whats going on?

Compare the previous and the current call. The answer lies there.
BTW, when you're asking a question better post the whole/exact code. Don't assume anything on your own, like whether it's relevant or not.
