Other Web Resources for EXCEL-VBA Programming

Other Web Resources for EXCEL - VBA Programming.

When I started developing macros for the first time using LOTUS 123 during 1992-93, I could not get help from any professional. I had to rely with 123.hlp file, which was not available with all LOTUS 123 installation. In our Computer Centre only one PC has HARD DISK, all other PCs are booted from floppy only!!! Internet is available in big cities only. So by sitting late night, I learned LOTUS 123 macro and played around. Mostly to amaze my friends and colleagues.

First macro was put into use in the Ageing Report developed by me in QuatroPro Spreadsheet. That time also I relied with QuatroPro help file. During 1995 situation is somewhat better as most of the PCs had Hard disk.

During Late 90's When I told my colleagues that ACCESS table can be better presented in EXCEL, they believed me. But they thought that I am talking about EXPORT command in ACCESS. When I reiterated them it can be directly fetched from a command button in EXCEL and summarize the sales data. They thought that I was crazy!!! But When I showed my first application they became crazy!!!

Sorry for the long history. But It might give you some idea that information is power in these IT Age. So here is a partial list of popular websites which will give you better tips, tricks and techniques (than me!!!) for EXCEL-VBA .
