VBA Programming


Many of the people out there heard about VBA but never actually uses @ this Visual Basic for Application. for most people would believe that this is a visual basic programming but it is not the whole package. But do not underestimate the power of VBA.

the tips is to use VBA Scripts together with Scheduler.
