Excel 2003 Programming: A Developers Notebook (Developers Notebook)

Don't Force It

If you get stuck, there are a number of ways to resume your progress:

  • Try turning on macro recording (Tools Macros Record a New Macro), perform the task in Excel, then turn off recording and examine the code that Excel generates.

  • Search MSDN ( www.microsoft.com/msdn ) to see if Microsoft has addressed your problem.

  • Search newsgroups ( groups.google.com/groups ) to see if someone else has solved your problem.

  • And, of course, you can always check www.oreilly.com/catalog/exceladn or www.mstrainingkits.com to see if I've solved the problem!

If something still seems too difficult, examine your approach. In that situation, I generally go fishing and come back to the problem later. If you don't live somewhere with good fishing, I guess you're just stuck.
