.NET or VBA Course

[Colin Steadman]

A collegue has been asked to setup some automated Excel reports ect...
He's never done anything like this before so has been given the
opportunity to go on some training.

He's done some research and emailed me some links for training courses
he's interested in. I've written off most of them as unsuitable,
infact the only remotely relevant course was Mastering Microsoft
Access 2000 Programming which did have some VBA in it.

Anyway this is one of the links he sent me:

http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/syllabi/2559BFinal.asp

I couldn't really comment on this one as I know next to nothing about
..NET myself. Is .NET training something he might benefit from? We're
using Office 2000 here at the moment, is .NET a replacement for VBA in
the latest (or future) version of Office? Or is it something else
entirely?

TIA,

Colin

Colin,

Learning NET will be of no use for automating Excel and using
VBA. The latest version of Excel, 2003, uses the same VBA that is
used in previous versions.

Thanks Chip, I didn't think it'd be worth his while. Thank you confirming.
