VBA tutorial/manual/course?

[123]

Hi,

I am looking for a tutorial/manual/course of VBA for beginners.
I need a tutorial explaining everything from the very beginning
becasue I do not know programming in VB. I do not consider
learning VB first to learn VBA in future. I need just VBA.
I would like to use it in Excel first of all but also in Word.
I would prefer to download it from the Internet but I can also
buy it as a book.

I would be very grateful for any help and advice from you.

Regards

To get started, see the article "Getting To Grips With VBA Basics In 15
Minutes" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/VBABasicsIn15Mins.htm

and look at other article on that website.

Unless you are very different to most people, you will find it impossible to
learn everything - you would never remember it all. The thing to do is to
learn where to find the information that you need when you want to do
something. While not perfect, the macro recorder can help here, but you
will find an immense amount of information in the Help facility of the
Visual Basic Editor, which you can access by pressing F1 after typing a
command to get context sensitive help.

Unfortunately, you are going to find that there are some significant
differences between the way things are done with Word and Excel.

Thank you.

I am not going to learn everything, I realise that it is not possible.
I only said that I needed a tutorial explaining everything from the very beginning.

I agree but as in other programming languages I have to know basics.
The rest is like building using blocks.
Learning through studying examples without knowing basics is the longest way.
First basics, then examples - it is the best way.
I am looking for the best tutorial on basics with as much explanation as possible.

Unfortunately, you are going to find that there are some significant differences between the way things are done with Word and
Excel.

I know that it is not the same. However I should be familiar with both.
