Hi,
Ive been trying to understand macros for about a week now just
using the help columns in Excel. I cant figure out anything.
I remember doing sothing in school to do with macros and creating
buttons which moved you fro sheet to sheet from just one page. I need
to remember how to do this.
the thing im stuck on at the moment is somthing to do with macro
codes???
PLEASE HELP ME!

Hi SarahKay

The best thing to do to start learning macros is to record some and
look at the code that has been generated. Choose something to do -
hide rows, enter numbers, delete columns - anything! Then record it
from Tools Macro Record New Macro. Look at the code generated by
pressing alt + F11, and try and understand what it is doing.

Three good websites to look at are (in no particular order):
http://j-walk.com/ss/
http://www.cpearson.com
http://www.contextures.com

Design buttons using the forms toolbar or control toolbox (right click
on your toolbar and select Forms or Control Toolbox) - Forms is easier
for a beginner.

Consider buying a book if you are serious - it is possible to self
teach, many "power" Excel users are, but it's easier if you have a
background in computers - and it does take many years.

And calling back to sites like this for good hints and tips and above
all, keep practicing - it does get easier!

Good luck

HTH
