VBA Scripting

Screen Shot of Visual Basic Editor

Visual Basic for ApplicationsObject-Oriented Programming (OOP)Classes = Types of ThingsObjects = Specific ThingsMethods = What You Do With Things

Class -> Object -> MethodCars = Class of ThingToyota Corolla = Specific Object in ClassDriving in my car = Specific method to do with my car

VB KeywordsSub = SubroutineDim = Declared VariableVariable TypesStringBoolean (True or False values) before a comment (turns green)

Good Programming Practice Use LOTS of commentswhat your code does and whyComment each subroutine and function with a description what it does what input and output it takes

*Convert to VBAmyCar = Object of Class CarsmyCar.Drive = Method/Action that can be done on Object of Class CarsHershey = the Argument for the Method Where I am driving toDim myCar as CorollamyCar.Drive (Hershey)Setting Variables

MacrosAn action or a set of actions you can use to automate tasks. Macros are recorded in the VBA code
