What kind of coding?

Hi,

So the other day someone told me that no one uses Macro coding in Excel anymore, it's old code, but when I asked him what the name of the coding was, he didn't tell me.

Can someone tell me what the new code is called? Is it VB?

Thanks

Michelle

Macros are alive and well and are used extensively. Microsoft has given no indication that it intends to do away with them. Another, more technical, name for macros is VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Some people try to differentiate between macros and VBA, but that is a false dichotomy - in Office they are 100% the same.

Ok, I shouldn't have trusted the Indian who said this. He was terrible, didn't do the work & I'm back to looking for someone who actually knows what they are doing.

Thanks for educating me.
