Learning VBA - Resources & Stories
 

Hello All,

I am teaching myself VBA and I am looking for ideas & resources on how I can
propel my learning. I have two books:

1. Walkenbach's Excel 2003 Power Programming with VBA
2. Excel Programming by Visual Publishing

I find that while these books are decent, there seems to be much they do not
tough on. When I write a line there are many options for auto complete that I
have no idea what they are for. Also, there are many ways of writing code I
have come across on the forums that are simply not covered in the books.

I am looking for stories on how you may have learned. Did you take a class?
Did you read books? Did someone you know teach you?

I am also looking for recommendations on resources for VBa. I think there
are better books out there, but i am hesitant to order another one from
Amazon, or even go to the book store.


Than ks for any comments you may have.
