Visual Basic for Applications?

[Hellbound]

I'm a finance/accounting major and I'm told that I'm going to be using VBA a lot to write macros and stuff. I'm not really familiar with VBA, does anyone else know more about it? Is it like BASIC for Microsoft Excel and Powerpoint?

So VisualBasic... It's so nice. It's so grand and fun. When you learn how to use it that is. It's a very visual way of programming, and whoa it's pretty much a basic ^_~;;

You can make your forms and windows, applications, etc with VisualBASIC very easilly...

It's like BASIC for general purpose applications, and other stuff to, if you want it to ._.

Yeah I just found it in Word/Excel. Opens up a VB Editor but I have no idea how to use it, I need to find some tutorials....

Edit: Found one - http://www.danielklann.com/tutorials/tutorial_index.htm

Time for me to do some learning.
