Default VB Script

Hi. I recently asked for help on macros for an Excel spreadsheet. I realised that this goes back to something called VBscript. I tried getting a book on VBscript but it apears that MS has discontinued it in 2003. How is anyone expected to learn how to use macros in excel if MS have discontinued it?

Some decent person here helped me out with a problem using macros. Macros are no longer used in Excel as it is VB Script which has been abolished. Nobady uses macros any more. What I need is all the classes and objects of Excell that can be used. For those of you who don't know what class,object, construct, destructors are? No comment. Pecoflyer dosn'tunderstand the question.

VBScript is being deprecated, not discontinued. Deprecation just means no more development work will be put into it. It may be removed in future releases, but that won't affect anything beforehand and probably won't affect anything predating that removal. For example, WordBasic was deprecated decades ago, but it still works.
