VBA or VB.Net? Book recommendations??
hi,
go with vba. it's going to be around for some time. and there is a lot already written in vba. vb.net is new and trying to carve out a nitch for itself. it will. but right now i know of no plans by microsoft to change office over to vb.net. the .net framework was developed so that it would combine all of the softfwares. for example you might design a form with vba then run code in c++ or any other language that is supported. .net is pretty powerful so its here to stay. so is vba. as for books and tutorials i might suggest: http://class.et.byu.edu/ce270/vbaexcel_primer/intro.htm http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search? q=group:*excel* http://www.exceltip.com/excel_links.html http://www.exceltip.com/tutorial/garrison/ http://www.lebans.com/ http://www.rondebruin.nl/ http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/ http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ http://www.developersdex.com -----Original Message----- I took a BASIC course back in high school and FORTRAN in early college.
