Great things in small packages

[Anne Troy]

I just received a box in the mail.
Tucked inside is VBA and Macros for Microsoft Excel written by Bill Jelen and Tracy Syrstad.

AUTOGRAPHED BY BOTH!

See...you have to know that I introduced the two of them to see how cool this is. :)

[shades]

That's great!!!

But you didn't get autographed copies for the first 100 members of VBA Express?

:rofl:

No kidding, I think that is great for you, Anne. What a compliment to you.:yes :yes :yes

[Anne Troy]

I'm working on it!!

:dunno

[Zack Barresse]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Nevermind shades, he's old and senile (ROFL!!) {no offense shades}

Good for you! And if you talk to them, tell them a big congrats from VBAX! ;)

[Anne Troy]

Hee hee. I just found myself in the acknowledgements.
BCF is there too, but he contributed to the code I think.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

No offense taken, I think. :roll: (Can you 'plain that in elder-talk? :D )

For those inquirying minds who don't understand elder-humor (or me, since they are not necessarily the same), I had actually edited my post before Anne and you had posted. Of course, by then...:dunno

[Anne Troy]

Don't worry...tough to offend me.
I usually look at the funny side of things... ;)

I saw you staring at me!!! It was my age, wasn't it?! You couldn't believe someone my age still makes sense!?:rofl :hi

Sorry, Friday afternoon, and I am getting .... fuzzy.

[Zack Barresse]

I got a chance to read the first few pages of GDA (friend's book), he thanked BCF there too. I said, "I know him!!" :D

[Anne Troy]

Wow. Another great thing.

Tell everyone what it feels like to see your name in print like that.

:yes

Once again, congratulations. Well done. You make VBAExpress proud.

[Anne Troy]

Thank you, Shades! :)

I quite fancy writing a book but my area of most knowledge (Excel) is covered so well in so many books I don't see the point of writing one for that now.

I thought about maybe doing one entitled: "The Win32 API for the VBA Programmer" which I don't believe is covered. Hmm, maybe one day.....

:)

[Anne Troy]

Well...
Methinks you and BCF could get together and write
"The Coders Guide to VBA", huh?

[mark007]

Is BCF up for writing a book too then?

Hmm, "The Coders Guide to VBA", I guess that's another area that's not covered so well - integration of applications. Every book touches on it with about 2 pages but they all concentrate on a favoured App. I guess soemthing that covered Outlook, Excel and Word with some DB support using ADO it would be quite good. (I don't mention access as it's too big an area really..)

:yesIt works for me. I enjoyed the endeavour. :yes

The first book on Excel I've ever read cover to cover, I like it. :)
