Hi Lars
The new Visual Basic 6.0 Learning Edition is out (it is actually the
"standard edition" at $145CDN ... more hard cash spent!!) and is very user
friendly. The upgrade to the professional version is another $400+CDN for
the upgrade ... then there is a developer version for the seriously demented
and driven.
VBA is of more interest to me because no matter how I change the way Excel
looks, I can launch/run my program / project from a floating toolbar or from
a 12, 24, or 60 button floating keypad.
VB programs / projects can only be run (I think) from VB itself but the VB
code can be cut and pasted into the Excel VBA VBEditor window.
There is a very good stock ticker program at http://www.devx.com/ that is
written in VB code. Insert code # GS199RS into the "Locator+" window. I've
downloaded lots of code from there. 1 = first quarter, 99 = year which
corresponds to magazine issue.
I don't think that the stock browser program downloads futures, which I
trade as spreads. Another trader on the list told me about another
downloader which looks good also. It has about 20 sites programmed and costs
about $35US. I still like your VBA program and think that it has potential.
Best regards
Walter
