Need Help with Macros
(OP)
I just started experimenting with macros. I figured out how to record a macro fairly easily, but I was curious about the programming aspect. I've begun experimenting with different recordings and looking at the resulting macro to discover various commands. Where can a beginner get help with learning the language? This is the first program I have used a macro with, so I will need an extremely basic tutorial on macros.

RE: Need Help with Macros
Today, I'm not a wizard by any means but I know enough to manipulate the software by use of a macro. Some of the macro's I've made save us tremendous time.
Good luck! And keep with it.

RE: Need Help with Macros
The best place to start is to learn VBA (the language of macros). It is also the language for MS Office macros. A solid understanding of VB goes a long way toward sorting out advanced API calls (like SW). I started out by learning straight VB (VB6) from books/CD's found at B&N.
Don't forget SW has its own API help available right there in the help menu. It has its shortcomings, but it is about the best API documentation of any kind that I have come across.
