The nicest part of VBA is the macro recorder. If you don't understand
the books and help files, you can get a grip on what exactly is being
done by going to Tools->Macros->Record Macro, giving your new macro a
name, clicking Record and then going about doing a number of things in
your spreadsheet. When you're done, press the Stop button on the macro
recorder. To see how the code looks (and it wont' be very useful code
although it will be instructive), press Alt & F11. The Visual Basic
Editor will open and you'll see what's in the macro. To see how it
did/does the job you recorded, press F8 to watch the code execute a line
at a time.
Do this a few times and you'll begin to see how linear code execution is
and how all that strange language operates on your current spreadsheet.
That *should* help you begin to understand the most basic operations and
may help you understand what the books have been trying to explain so
poorly.
Hope that helps!
