1. Learn VBA - Introduction to VBA Editor
Excel 2007:
Lesson 1 will teach you how to attach some code to a button that will bring up a message box that says Hello!.
Step1:
Make sure your excel options (Office button in top left => Excel Options) are as shown:
Step2:
Click Developer ribbon, Insert => choose the first button under "Form Controls".
Click and hold anywhere on your worksheet. Now drag the mouse down and across slightly. This will create the button. The further you drag, the bigger the button.
Step3:
When the following box pops up, type: myMessageBox in the macro name field.
Now press NEW
Step4:
You will now see a sub routine has been created for you, and you can type the following in the space provided:
MsgBox "Hello!"
Now press ALT + F11 to return to your sheet, and press the button.
Congratulations on writing your first VBA program !
Excel 2003:
Right click on an empty space on the toolbar, and choose FORMS.
...goto Step2 and continue.

It is really very much
It is really very much interesting...
Didn't work
Every time I type myNewMessage in it shows me an edit button and not a "New" button. It has the message that you said to type but when I press alt +f11 it doesn't work. It will allow me to press it but nothing happens. any help? I have office 2007
RE: Didn't work
Hello,
Possible problem: you are download a practice file and when you try to type myMessageBox you see Edit button, not New, because there is already have a subroutine with that name.
When press the button and nothing happens, the possible reason is that your macros are disable. Check your macro settings from Excel Options->Trust Center->Trust Center Settings->Macro Settings.
If I'm guess the problem, just open a new excel file and make the exercise step by step once again and it will work.
Best regards.
Thanks
