Is quite easy to follow. The guy isn't trying to show off some of his stuff, and keeps it simple. After looking at the site, you can always search this group or ask any questions if you are stuck. I've learnt 99% of what I know through this group, only started on VBA a couple of months ago.

I would highly recommend Mr. Walkenbach; both his books (Excel Power Programming...) and website (which is at: http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/index.htm). Tomcee |

Yep, got to recommend Mr. Walkenbach's Power Programing. When it comes to VBA
he's the man, plus its a thick book so stops your papers blowing arround when you not reading it. "Sena" wrote: Hi, I am quite good at normal worksheets and wish to learn a bit of programming to automate ( basic stuff ). Is there website that I can refer to ? Thanks -- Cheers ! |

John's book are terrific and I have one on my desk too, but don't overlook
one of the most useful tools there is in the Macro Recorder. Bearing in mind that it captures just about everything you do, so there is a bunch of extraneous junk that can be weeded out. But learning what stays and goes a long way to proper programming. Hint: selecting is almost never necessary, so generally when you see "Select" followed by "Selection" you can eliminate both statements and concatenate the strings.

Further to Smitty's advice on the macro recorder, Tushar Mehta's section on
"beyond the macro recorder" has some good pointers on cleaning up the code. http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/vb...rder/index.htm Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sat, 4 Aug 2007 12:46:13 -0700, Smitty wrote: John's book are terrific and I have one on my desk too, but don't overlook one of the most useful tools there is in the Macro Recorder.
