I've been looking around and could not find good VBA lists. The ones I found
only have questions and no answers.
[VBA is Visual Basic for Applications, mostly M$ Office programs.
I just assume the situasion for the Visual Basic programming language is
similar)]
Also I searched the internet for VBA codes for M$ Office. I only found very
few sites with tiny bits of useful functions.
PHP and Javascript lists are very active and coders are much more willing to
share their code and helping each other.
Before I started with PHP my theory was that people whose code is visible,
as javascript is, have no reason to keep it secret.
But as PHP is hidden this theory had to be abandoned. Also, every day two
people on the javascript ask how they can protect their code.
So now i am looking for a new theory.
Options:
Maybe it has to do with PHP users being grateful for the free use of PHP and
often free databases?
A complot theory is that database programmers are quite religious about
their favourite database, maybe they want to support others trying to use it
so it becomes a standard? But that does not account for javascript (although
there we have the browser brand/version wars).
By the way if you want to try VBA for Word: the object model of MS Word is a
nightmare! And the Help files are too coordinated by a pointed haired boss.
Anyway i really like this list!
I try to add my bit, hoping my beginner tips are not too disturbing.
thanks everybody in this list!
Chris
