I wouldn't be at the level I am without the feedback and examples from this forum.

The difficult bit is breaking the dependency on macro recording and getting to the level of understanding the object model.

A good tip is the use of F1 when in the VBA ide as it brings up help pages on the keywords highlighted by the cursor. If you pay very close attention to the return values of methods and properties things soon start to become a little clearer.

Good luck on your adventures.
