View Full Version : need to concentrate on VBA itself
MartinBoers
06-15-2013, 09:13 PM
I'm looking for a well-written, comprehensive, free, online tutorial that concentrates just on teaching the VBA language itself, while keeping mention of the various IDE's for VBA (such as Excel’s VBE or Visual Studio) to a minimum (I’ve found plenty of tutorials for them already), and which gives sample code only for the purpose of teaching the language, rather than as snippets of code to accomplish specific tasks without explanation of how and why the sample code works.
Any suggestions? Thanks for any help anyone can give.
