TIA. I am trying to find a way to
automate the extraction of data from a form in word2000 to
excel2000. The form is for HR at my company, we want to
track the check boxes that are marked in employee review
forms and bring totals into and excel spreadsheet. I know
this is going to involve macros, but I cannot find any
literature regarding vb in excel. I only find visual
basic and from any of the material I found, Visual Basic
and vb in excel are not compatible. Please help me and
steer me into the correct direction.

Thank You again!!
Kevin R.


vb is an abbreviation of visual basic.

The macro language in Excel is Visual Basic for Applications
or VBA and there's a ton of stuff available both in print
and on the web

Ensure that the help files for VBA are installed (you may need to rerun
the office install) and start by browsing them

A google search for

excel vba tutorial

Will yield plenty of material.
