VBA modules vs Macros
If an operation can be performed using either a Macro or a VBA module, which would you recommend?
RE: VBA modules vs Macros
VBA offers the opportunity of error trapping giving a meaningfull description of the error and its location- from this you may arrive at a SOLUTION A LITTLE QUICKER.
BUT for the VBA newbie who wants to see results pdq and is prepared to breakdown the steps involved in the process of macro automation - macros will be a usefull tool, but in the event of an error ..ooops is all you will probably get or even worse nothing at all and only when something isn't where it should be or is appearing randomly will you encounter the 'macro menace'
NB
Macros do not offer a complete solution you will at some point have to resort to VBA in developing a bespoke solution.
