Humm...if that's what you need...then rather than my little $25 course,
you should go find yourself some $900 VB camp course!
Seriously, my course is good for a VBA newbie...but it's NOT what you're
going to need! You can get it to get started...but VB definitely is what
you need...so go buy yourself a copy of Visual Basic, hit the bookstores
for some Learning VB in 21 days, dig in and start writing code!
I'd be happy to ask some of my VB MVP friends for their suggestions on
the best courses, but to become proficient in an advanced level like
that...you're going to need a lot more than what I offer here. And yes,
you'll want to get rolling right away with VB versus spending time
messing with VBA. But I do suggest VB versus C++, although I'm sure
others might disagree.
Go to the magazine store and grab yourself a copy of Visual Basic
Programmer's Journal and check out all the courses offered in the back.
(As Dian runs for one of her copies laying around...)...humm, scratch
that. Don't see many courses, but you can hit the VBPJ web site for more
info, here:

And good luck! (You're gonna need it!<g>)

Hey guys, this message is going to show what a novice I am about all
this VB and VBA stuff. I actually am starting a master's program in IT
this fall and need to demonstrate competency in an advanced programming
language such as C, C+, C++ or Visual Basic. I'd like to learn Visual
Basic so I can start getting good on Access eventually. I've never been
much of a programmer (I still have nightmares about the Pascal class I
took in high school) and don't know a whole lot about the programming
world. (My interests and experience are in hardware and software mostly
-- LANs, servers, etc.) Would Dian's class/book/lessons be a good place
for me to start? How far would that get me -- i.e. do you think I'd
accomplish what I need for the grad program or should I then go further?
Thanks!

My Word 301 class has one, basic lesson on VBA along with lots of other
things. My Word Forms/VBA course is all about automating forms with VBA.
So the answer might be, if you wanted to learn a lot more about a lot of
cool Word features...as well as, get a taste of learning VBA, take the
301 course...which you can either buy in eBook form and learn at your
own pace, or wait for the January classes to start again, that run for 6
weeks, one lesson per week.
But if your mind is set on learning VBA quickly or you have been asked
to create some online forms that need to be automated like calculation
or having the cursor jump to a specific location depending on what the
user selected from a dialog or something...then the AutoForms/VBA class
is better. It's a little more intense and I don't spend time teaching
you how to use long doc reference fields or creating fill in letters
with AutoText grouped replies.=20

>>>I do recommend Dian's classes on VBA and Word to get
going.<<<<<
Hello Greg,
Are you recommending the Beginning VBA course? I noted VBA is mentioned
in descriptions for the first two classes but would like to clarify
which is 'best' for learning beginning VBA?
Thanks much.
Best regards,

I finally got it all together...
I just wish I could remember where I set it down.
