    My B-I-L is a VB whizz and just got spit-canned over at Hertz. If you know of anyone who needs his services, please let me know. TIA

    "VB" sounds like "VD".

    Coincidence?

    I think not.

    Dear cockmaster who's responsible for the VBA debugger,

    It's customary to indicate where an error actually took place so as to not send the programmer off on a wild ****ing goose chase.

    I have some issues with a COBOL program I could let you look at. Batch COBOL on the mainframe that reads and writes VSAM files. Would that make you feel better?

    Re: Visual Basic makes Baby Jesus cry

    Dear Microsoft Overlords,

    What you call a "Date" in Excel is called a "time" by the rest of the computing world (based on decades of Unix tradition, I imagine) or even better yet a "timestamp" because it is not just a date. Thus, confusion reigns when you have a DateValue function that returns what you call a "Date" but what the rest of us call a "date", i.e. just a calendar date. If you're going to be contrarian about naming your date types, at least be consistent. Why I should have to use both DateValue (which returns just the calendar date portion of a Date) and TimeValue (which returns just the clock time portion of a Date) to construct a complete Date (by your definition) is completely ****ing beyond me. To sum up, your DateValue function returns a Date as just a date, not a Date. **** me running.


    And furthermore, why are the VBA versions of both of these functions more braindead than the worksheet versions which I'm not allowed to use for some reason?

    I find it hilarious that cockmaster escaped the profanity filters while **** gets censored.

    Try

    Catch

    Finally

    If you don't understand that, then it's time to upgrade from VB6 to .Net.

    Can you turn one of those shell scripts into an Exel add-in?

    See, there's your problem right there. You're trying to interface with Excel

    Putting code in a variable makes me happy.

    That's crazy talk. Although it's certainly better than...shudder...Perl, and possibly VB.

    Hey man, perl is great, as long as your need is to whip something up in 5-10 minutes and never ever ever ever EVER look at it again.

    Re: Visual Basic makes Baby Jesus cry

    PHP is a great language for its simplicity.
    Perl, sucks. Just because of its lack of any decent debugging. (I know, then don't code any bugs! )
    VB is nice.
    But C# is even nicer.
    ASP.Net has features that kick the crap out of PHP. Especially the postback feature.
