Learning Visual Basic
Learning Visual Basic
(OP)
It really is time I was better educated and that I learned how to do things the right and economical way; to become more proficient in Visual basic (there is a limit to what can be done with If statements).
Can anyone recommend any good guides for "Teach yourself VBA"?
Idiot's guides, please, for both Excel and for Visual Basic 10 Express.
And, sooner or later I will need to be able to make these programs into web applications.
Any suggestions?

VBA is a subset of VB and runs "inside" of Excel providing much of the functionality of VB.
There are plenty of VB and VBA books out there - most are in the 1,000 page range - gives you an idea of what you are up against.
Also, check out TEK-TIPS.com a sister website where the computer geeks live. They have a whole section on VB.

VBScript - for web scripting and OS scripts
VBA - for applications (each with its own dialect)
VB1-6, generally known as VB.
VB.net - yet another front end to .net framework with a VB syntax (others are C#, F#, C++/CLR)
You probably can't use VB1-6 unless you have an old interpreter. VB6 came out in 1998. As for VBA, you need to target a particular application eg Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Access, Outlook etc. Each one has different object types that you need to know about.
The nice thing is that you can use code similar to VBA in VBScript and do things like copying from Access to Word.

The Kindle versions of these books cost about half of O'Reilly's digital list price. But O'Reilly regularly has half off, two-for-one, and three-for-one sales that can be a better deal if you're patient. The digital versions from O'Reilly are available in multiple formats without DRM restrictions.
