Default VBA training

I have no specific trainaing in VBA, but I have lots of training in VB. If
you understand VB and a little bit of Object Oriented Programming (not a lot
just enough to undersatnd what an object is and that an object has properites
and methods) so that you can get a handle on the Excel Object Model then you
will be able to do a whole pile of fun stuff. Beyond that you do need a very
good understanding of what Excel can do without VBA in order to create
quality end user solutions.

The only other trianing that I might recomend is if you are not familiar
with Access get some training in that. Very often what people want to do in
Excel is really much better accomplished in a database.

That's My Two Cents...

Hi,

I can't seem to find a good training resource for excel VBA
programming. I have programming experience in some high level
languages. I am looking for an intermediate to advanced level VBA
course because I find that I need to do complex tasks in excel for
which the skill will come in handy. My employer is willing to fund. I
am considering getting training in VB instead since I can't find a
course that is VBA specific. Advice?
