Private Sub Runcommand(CommandText as String)  
      If CommandText <> "" Then
        'TODO: is command valid?
        'TODO: NO: error message...
        'TODO: yes: run the command
      Else
        'TODO: handle for blank command 
      End If
    End Sub

It's almost embarrassing to realise that i often use this process.

(There's also a lot of prior planning, paper prototyping, customer meetings, discussion, procrastination, database design, coffee-drinking, code-generation for sprocs and crud-sproc calls, import of re-usable DAL's, PAG block usage, go PAG!, back-and-forth debates prior to document sign-off, arguments, late-nights, frustration, chatting with friends, sifting through email, scratching in visio, printing things out and leaving them in a heap, scrounging for staples, catching buses, doing back and neck stretches etc., but that's all been left out for simplicity...)
