Macro to VB

Macro to VB

Macro to VB

(OP)
Hi,
I am working macros and would like to convert to VB6 OR VB.NET, ultimately my aim is to fire the SW from VB and follow the steps in the macro. Can anyone suggest best way..I am stuck with this for past few days.

Thanks
VA

RE: Macro to VB

There will be a few small differences between VBA (macro language) and VB6.  Otherwise, the code is almost identical.

Start by exporting whatever code modules and forms exist in your macro.  Import them into a new VB6 project and go from there.  Then write a subroutine to do the SW startup.

It may be as simple as having your VB program start by starting SW and then call a subroutine from your imported macro.

I could be the world's greatest underachiever, if I could just learn to apply myself.
