quote: True, knowing anyform of basic is useful (enviroments like Realbasic can compile to Win/nix/OSX) and it's pretty straight forward; could get the basics in a few days. But i still think it's worth scrapping Excel and develope a proper app. | |

VBA is the next step for Excel but i'd really thinking about scraping Excel and design your own app (.NET, Realbasic etc). | |

I'm 'decent' on excel, but i have no idea when it comes to macros, and that is something i would like to learn, i have used access in the past but only briefly so have a slight understanding of it. | |

The thing is, people try and replace what should be done by databases (Access, MySQL, SQL Server). If you're pretty good with Excel as it is, move on to start to learn Access. With that you can learn more about databases/handling information etc. | |
