Congrats!!!...Check out the below link on coding practices.....(will be useful)
http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/archive/...practices.aspx Below are some other tips for a starter level.... --As Jim mentioned include lot of comments. I personally include comments for each variables I declare; I had experiences spending hours to identify what the variable do.. intRaceCounter 'Number of races dtStartTime 'Start time of race --Using data type prefix for variables lngRow denotes data type Long varTemp denotes that the variable is of Variant data type strRaceName denotes that the variable is String variable arrData denotes that the variable is an Array User forms with frmStartUp, frmCalculations, frmSettings Textboxes prefixed with txtStartTime, txtEndTime Comboboxes with cmbStartTime, cmbEndTime Command Buttons with cmdSubmit, cmdOK --Naming of variables..While coding all of us prefer to use short variables names eg (x,y,c,i are commonly used) but in the long run that will not help..Name it as below so as to reflect the variable type and the purpose... strFirstName dtStartDateTime dtStopDateTime If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "NDBC" wrote: I finally have my code working. I am trying to tidy it up for several reasons 1) so others can follow it 2) so it will run faster 3) so it is easier/quicker to edit 4) to reduce the risk of typing mistakes So far I have implemented the option explicit statement and put in some loops for repetitive code. I have also saved it as a web page and then saved it back to an xls file to reduce file size (went from 9MB to 5MB). Is there any risks with doing this. Is there a website I can look at that outlines basic good practice for code format. Thanks again for everybodies input. My scoring program already far exceeds my expectations of what I was aiming for when I first started. Unfortunately the time taken to do it was the same. |
