Zack,
Congatulations for being chosen as MS MVP for Excel. :super:
You have always been so helpful when I have come to you with my pesky problems. :cool:
Your Knowledge and creative approaches to solutions are exemplary.
Phil
Congrats, Zack. Again, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving or knowledgeable person. Way to go!
:thumb
This is most excellent news and very well deserved. :thumb Congratulations Zack :clap:
Congratulations Zack, I'm not surprised
Congratulations :)
Well Deserved :thumb
Wow! Thanks very much! I really appreciate that.
Not sure how much I deserve it, but I am extremely humbled and honored to even have been considered, let alone receive the award. Coming from the members of this board - my dearest friends - it means so much more to me now.
It has been a learning process and will continue to be so. I learn something from just about everybody I deal with and the fact that I can pass some of my knowledge on to others is just plain great!
I look forward to this new journey and what it will bring. :)
(Wait .. doesn't that mean I'm supposed to turn into a jerk all of a sudden?! LOL!)

Zack,
You know my opinion about badges/titles in general. But I'm pleased on Your behalf and I hope it will provide You with greater possibilities and that You will continue to be a friendly and nice person.
All the very best from,
Dennis
Congratulations Zack.
Since I have known you, you have been nothing but pleasant and extremely helpful to everyone. With all your other commitments I do not know how you find the time.
You are an asset to VBAX and the wider community and thoroughly deserve this honour. Congratulations.
Wow, thank you guys!
I know that I have been blessed to have good friends, be a quick learner and have the opportunity to give back to others. I also know that being a part of a site such as VBAX is very fufilling in it's rewards; I still have much to learn from everybody and I hope that doesn't slow down now. :yes
I'm looking forward to meeting new people, making new friends and smiling a lot. :D
Zack,
Congratulations. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!! Who would believe, just 2 years ago you were asking us questions, now your an excel MVP!!! That's got to be some kind of record.
Kudos, Zack. Keep up the fine work. :thumb :beerchug:
Thanks Calvin and Nate, that's high praise coming from you two. Thanks very much. I'll try to keep on giving quality solutions (at least I hope they're quality!) and keep learning from the likes of you two!! :yes
I remember the first Excel question I ever asked and Cbrine and Iridium answered it for me. (Them's my hero's. :) ) It's been a long journey since then!
Oh, and Cbrine, I think there was one faster - Frank Kabel (Lord rest his soul).
Greatly deserved honor Zack!! Congratulations!!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy - congratulations :grouphug:
Congratulations Zack :clap:
WOW, this was great. MANY CONGRATS ZACK, you for sure well deserved it!!!
BTW, how many MVPs do we have in VBA Express already? Arent us the place where there are the largest number of MVPs after Microsoft site??? I think a statistic would be great.
6 months!Quote:

Thanks Carlos!! :)
I think VBAX and MrE are pretty close on who visits, as per MS MVP's. I think we may have a couple more who frequent actually. :dunno
Yes.Quote:

His work was certainly impressive and from the various testamonials it sounds like he was a helluva guy as well
He certainly was, a phenomenal guy.Quote:

As well as the work he was doing with me, he also collaborated with Ron de Bruin on his Google and EasyFilter add-ins, with Norman Harker on a book, articles to Dicks-Blog, etc.etc.
He is still the 4th most prolific poster to the Excel public newsgroups, even though he was around for just one year, whilst most of the other major posters have been at it for 8 years or so, and he was also active on the German public groups.
I liked him a lot, and we were due to meet in London last February, but it was never to be. I remember him telling me that he was taking leave to visit friends around the country, and I remember thinking what kind of fool takes a holiday in January, travelling around Germany! Whenever I think of him, as I have a lot recently for obvious reasons, I have a glass of Macallan, Frank's favourite.

The Word MVP is Greg Maxey. Although I thought we had another one at one time. I also thought there was a PPT MVP browsing around here at one point as well..
OK, Andy Pope, Jon Peltier, Peo, Ken Wright... now add Colo, Greg Maxey, Zack, and Carlos. That makes eight that I know of, but I'm sure I've seen some others from time to time... :)Quote:

Peo Sjoblum, I believe. He is actually living in Oregon as well. :)
I wasn't aware that he had visited the site though.
Congratulations again , Zack!
Well deserved.

I feel that this will be the latest congrats served in VBAX history, but I must give credit where credit is due. I'm truly sorry I missed this post. I had no clue this was going on because I was in the midst of moving from Jersey to Florida.
So congradulations Zack!! Hopefully the smileys will makeup for it:
:bow::beerchug::clap::clap2::yay:dance::fireman:
and my personal favorite, :thumb
Again, Great job Zack.
Thanks very much Joseph! That really means a lot to me. :yes
I'm actually coming under review here shortly to see if I get it again (err, more like see if they're dumb enough to give it to me again, hehe). Who knows, maybe we'll see some more people from this board get recognized. ;)
That'd be funny if they missed that and picked you again.Quote:
