Introduction to Programming with VBA

View course dates

Course Duration: 2 days

Course Code: QAVBAINT

Course Description:

Many people find that they need to be able to do a little customisation of Microsoft Office applications, such as Excel and Access, to make them work optimally in their environment; others may wish to become “fully-blown” Visual Basic developers. We have a range of courses available to assist with acquiring the knowledge and skills, however experience has shown that “you cannot make a programmer overnight” and this short course has been designed to introduce programming fundamentals, as a lead-in to those other courses.

 

This course introduces the process of specifying and designing programs, then looks in a very practical way at the features of the "Visual Basic for Applications" (VBA) language. Those attending will learn how to write simple, self-contained programs using various aspects of the language, and also how to call one program from another.
The course uses the Visual Basic editor built-in to Excel, as this is commonly available at work or at home but please note that the course does NOT look at any Excel-specific programming features.

 

The instructor-led course will use a mixture of lecture material and practicals, some of which will be paper-based but mostly involve writing small programs at the computer.

 

VBA Programming with Microsoft Excel
Professional Application Development with Microsoft Access
Application Development using Visual Basic 6

Prerequisites:

Users of Microsoft Office products, typically Excel and Access, who wish to write their own Macros or proceed to more advanced Visual Basic Programming and who have had little or no previous exposure to programming.

People who have programmed in other languages may find it more profitable to pursue self-study of the VB/VBA language elements

We will be pleased to advise on suitable resources, but the O'Reilly book "VB and VBA in a Nutshell" is highly recommended.

There are no technical pre-requisites for this course. Familiarity with the Windows environment and the ability to type a little will be useful!

Note that users with programming experience should go straight to the Excel or Access programming course, as appropriate.
