Just wondering....i'm interested in learning these programing stuff for
excel...what kind of course do i need to take?? i mean, the more i know
about
these excel programing, the more it would help me in my line of work....
so how did you get started in this line of work??

I'm the wrong person to be asking that question of because I'm not really an
Excel programmer. All my programming expertise (if that is really the
correct word) comes from the BASIC languages of old, a smattering of (an
old, old version of) FORTRAN, some C, some various UNIX scripting languages
and 10+ years programming with the compiled version of VB. Somewhere back in
March, I think, I looked into one of the Excel newsgroups and realized that
a large portion of what I know from the compiled version of VB can be used
(or at least adjusted to work) in Excel at both the VBA and spreadsheet
levels. Being a long-time volunteer answering questions on compiled VB
newsgroups, branching out to the Excel newsgroups seemed a reasonable thing
to do. Since I have been posting answers here, I have also been studying the
responses of the other regulars here and trying to learn what I don't know
about Excel from them. So, since I don't have an Excel-centric viewpoint of
programming (I tend to think in compiled VB and translate those concepts
into Excel's VBA or spreadsheet model), I am not the right person to advise
you of how to learn programming techniques in Excel. Hopefully, other
volunteers here will see your question and jump into this thread with their
answers. If that does not happen over the next several days (remember, we
have a weekend coming up and things slow down across them), try starting a
new thread with your question.
