I am no vba expert by any means but i find that the macro recording tool can
give you a lot of help.Start with that and then use a book or this group to
generalise or modify your code accordingly.

Depending on how advanced you are...

See if you can find them in your local bookstore/internet site and you can
choose what one you like best.

You guys have saved my neck with some wonderful help lately, and I fell
like I owe you one. You'll never pay for a drink when I'm around! Most
recently, I asked about code that would let you click on a button to
erase a file from one folder and save it to another one. Bernie replied
with this:
Sub SaveInApprovedFolder()
Dim DeleteFile As String
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
DeleteFile = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "Drive:\Approved file path\" &
ActiveWorkbook.Name
Kill DeleteFile
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
And of course it works perfectly. But I'm feeling kinda self-concious
about running to this newsgroup EVERY time I need some Excel code. Is
there a good book or someplace where I could learn this myself? I think
the above code is Visual Basic, but I'm afraid if I just buy "a book on
Visual Basic" and start reading it, I'll get bogged down in 1,000 pages
of stuff that I'll never use in Excel. Is there a book or something
that focuses specifically on this kind of Excel code?
Thanks again to all you guys,
Ron M.
