Welcome to the forums. :wave:
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...
We have many great code examples on our forums if you try a search first. No need to go anywhere else. :)
Definitely. this is an amazing place. we have so many code examples. it would sure help going through them. and like i have mentioned earlier if you are stuck we all are here to help you...Quote:
