Terminology

[Dodger Jim]

I am having a great deal of trouble with VBA. I know what I want to do but I
don't know the terminology that VBA uses to accomplish my task. Many times I
start looking through the Help and I won't see anything that even sounds
remotely like what I'm trying to accomplish. Any suggestions on how to
translate VBA easier?
Thanks!

1. Get a good reference book.
2. Look at the MVP FAQ on vba.

3. Use the Object Browser in the VB Explorer interface.
