Programming in Excel VBA or ???
I used VBA to program Excel years ago. I need to re-learn to program in
Excel. Should I brush up on VBA or learn one of the new languages? -- SLC |

VBA is as good as it gets in Excel. You can use other languages but VBA is
probably the easiest, since it is designed to work with Excel and comes with its own help files specifically for use with Excel. "stevec" wrote: I used VBA to program Excel years ago. I need to re-learn to program in Excel. Should I brush up on VBA or learn one of the new languages? -- SLC |

Thanks JLGWhiz, I appreciate the input. Do you think VBA is going away
anytime soon? -- SLC "JLGWhiz" wrote: VBA is as good as it gets in Excel.

No, too much invested in it.
I heard someone the other day at a conference who made a very lucid argument that it will be with us until 2015 at least. -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "stevec" wrote in message ...

I have seen some rumors floating around, but I have not seen anything from
Microsoft that indicates that they intend to abandon VBA anytime soon. Even if they do, it would not be that hard to move into VB or C+ and develop code that can compile into .exe files. Microsoft would probably be facing humongous law suits if they just abandoned VBA since their basic Windows platform is VB driven and there are thousands of businesses using VBA based programs that have been developed since Macro4 went away as a primary tool. You might note that Macro4 still will run on Excel. "stevec" wrote: Thanks JLGWhiz, I appreciate the input.
