Code writing:Where to start ?
 

Hello,

I have been studying the vba language recently. and found
that i can follow pretty well. but ..once i have in mind
what i want to accomplish and so forth. Since there is
vast info and ways to do each ...how do i know what to
use instead of other?? or is there a "un-said" method of
what to write first and then add as you go along?

How do programmers set up their code? What goes where and
what Statement sis first?

I know that declaring is up there first then ?
Loops or etc?
whats the thinking process? I havent found my style yet...

it's a brilliant book full of great knowledge, but it's as fun as the worst of mothers:
Don't smoke, don't drink, be home before 10, don't dance too close, wear clean underwear,
what would your rabbi say to this, ...
