Noob (Certification) Question

[kermitforney]

I want to be able to use VBA to develop client/serve apps. Just wondering which version I should be looking to get certified in?? (.NET, Basic, etc.)

Well, if you're just starting out, start with the latest.

 

[kermitforney]

.Net

Hi,

1. I don't believe that .Net is at all similar to VB/VBA.

2. VB is far more encompasing than any of the VBA's.

3. Each MS application (Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Access, Outlook.....) has its own unique VBA object model.

4. You don't need VB to develop/run VBA applications.

What DO you want to do.

Skip,

Well I want to be able to develop Macros and modules for use in Access, Excel and other Microsoft apps. I also don't want to limit myself so if learning VB can help with VBA then I want to do the WHOLE thing and not just a portion (VBA) of it.

So, you have to learn the Object model of each app.
The VB part is not the difficulty but the A part.

Hope This Helps, PH.
