writing codes

(OP)
Hello!  I just started my M.S. degree and I've been out of school for a long time.  I do not have any experience writing codes in visual basic for excel.  Can anyone recommend me a good book or website? THanks

RE: writing codes

The partner site to eng-tips for us engineering weanies is tek-tips for the computer weanies.

RE: writing codes

The book that got me started, and is still never far from my elbow, is "Excel 97 Programming for Windows for Dummies", written by the legendary John Walkenbach.  Best A$39.95 I ever spent.  Out of print now, but there may be some sort of successor that continues the same emphasis and flavour.

RE: writing codes

I like the O'Reilly book "Writing Excel Macros". It covers the Excel object model in a way that almost renders it intelligible.

RE: writing codes

I took a couple of Visual Basic classes at the local junior college a while back- they were fairly informative.  Specifically, Visual Basic for Applications.
