Getting Started?

[PCTechman]

I am a newbie, no knowledge at all about VB. I want to learn to use VB to automate Office programs and script batch file type routines. My question is where do I start to gain the skills?

Welcome to the forums.

Have a look here

you can start by clicking the following site

To automate the office programs you don't need vb installed on your system. for example in Excel simply click on the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Visual Basic Editor.

rest the above-mentioned site will explain. I would also like to mention that the help files which comes with the Visual Basic Editor are very helpful. i am sure once you know what to find and how to find on the help files, you would do just fine and if you do get stuck, you know we all are here to help you

hope this helps...
