Not exactly O/T question but I didn't know where to post my question. Feel free to move it to where ever necessary.
This is my first time coming to this forum and i'm overwhelmed w/ the complexity and versatility of VBA. My first taste of working with VBA was only a few months ago working wiht an Excel workbook.
Is there some way to learn just the basics? Things like syntax, commands, where and when to use periods (.) in b/w commands as in 'ActiveDocument.Close'.... it's all foreign to me. I feel as though if i could just get a few basic concepts down, it would be more enjoyable for me. Right now it's pure fustration and complete confusion.
I'm not a computer newbie - been fixing PC's for several years now. And even programming terminologies like If/Then statements are not "geek" to me - I did take a beginner's programming language class in college back in the day. It's so old some of you probalby have never heard of it. ANYWAY - the point is that I consider myself a quick learner - and if i could just get a small piece to chew on and practice, I'd probably latch onto this fairly quickly. Thanks 4 listening to my ramble.
I would certainly appreciate any comments, or suggestions on how to go about teaching myself, cuz i would love to know more.
