    Can VB it question

    Hi,

    I have a process I have to go through several times a day. It is not difficult but it involves - in fact - two process:

    opening excel then word then outlook

    opening word then excel with one SS then excel with another SS

    It is very manual and therefore prone to mistakes/omissions

    Can VB be used to control this process so you can't get side tracked. IE it guides you through the process keeping you on track. I am not looking for coding examples here just an opinion if VB can be used in this sort of scenario.

    Thanks
