What is a VBA document?


This time I show a macro that allows you to open word files that are listed in an Excel Listbox, that is to say another macro lists the Excel files in a Listbox and once they are listed by double clicking on the listbox item related to the WORD file you proceed to open Word to view the document.

If you need to handle Excel either from scratch or in an advanced way click here, if you want to learn about Excel in English, then you should click here. If what you need is to learn or deepen on macro programming with VBA this is one of the best online courses I’ve seen on the internet, I recommend you will not regret it.

Watch the video on how the macro works which contains a more detailed explanation of its coding and operation, I recommend watching for an easier understanding of the macro; subscribe to our You Tube channel, watch the playlist with related videos where you can see the related macros in action with an explanation in visual form that will help you understand the example more easily.

Introduction to vba

A colleague, who also works with Excel, asked me the other day, if it would be possible to delete an Excel file automatically, once a certain date has passed, to create a demonstration of a template.

The following Excel macro does exactly that: When a certain date arrives (in this case, the one we enter in cell A1), it will inform us that the file is going to be deleted because the trial period has expired. Enter the following code in a standard module:

You can centrally manage VBA macros by saving them to session document files that reside on a network share or other location, and then setting up local session documents to reference these shared documents. Shared documents can reside anywhere, as long as it is a trusted location.

Reflection Desktop supports shared VBA macros for IBM (.rd5x and .rd3x) and VT (.rdox) session documents. You should create at least one session document file for each type of terminal you use. Session document files can only reference macros in the same session document type. For example, IBM3270 sessions can reference only session documents with an .rd3x extension.

NOTE: When Reflection cannot open a referenced session document, an error symbol appears next to the document. Your session cannot run macros on this file until you correct the problem.
