Number 1 - This Forum is a GREAT place to learn. Probably learn more here than in any book.
Number 2 - Use the Macro Recorder.
Tools - Macro - Record New Macro.
do the task manually
Tools - Macro - Stop Recording.
Any task you can do manually, use the macro recorder to record yourself doing it manually, then look at the VBA code it created. Great Resource.
