I have done a fair bit of lisp over the years but everyone says its dying and vba is the way to go, so...... Taking the plunge and gonna learn it I hope. Stupid question =========== How do you run a vba app from command line. In lisp it was (Defun c:routine ........ ) type routine and it would run. Do all vba apps have to be run through vbarun ????
