Hi Frank,

A simple question, is VB just for creating macros in Excel?


Thanks,
Jennife

Hi Jennifer
VBA is Microsoft's scripting language for their Office applications
(Excel, Word, Access, Visio)

By the way, VB is an actual programming language from
Microsoft that is separate from VBA but can be used by VBA
in various ways. That is for more advanced VB/VBA
programmers. To begin, just look at some of these
tutorials to get started. Don't overwhelm yourself with
the BIG stuff.
