Crisp with clarity at its best , thanks a lot Master

[@andrewbouc6015]

clear, concise, showed results of different code, gives enough context for me to go get my ideas into VBA without needing it spelled out for me. Perfect!

[@hammeedabdo.82]

Thanks Paul, We need a video every Week.

[@hotflashfoto]

This is good information.
I prefer to use Select/Case instead of ElseIf. It's a lot cleaner and easier to manage, in my opinion. But what you presented is spot on, so I'm not kickin' ya in the knees.

[@leviatan61]

Thanks for the video, so just to confir, the option vbDefaultbutton 1 ...n can be use to declare a custom button displayed in the message box? for example I have a button from a message box coming up from an application, the options are "Run" and "Cancel". Defaltubutton 1 would be "Run"?

[@ExcelMadeEasy444]

Hello Paul, your videos have helped me tremendously. I have been having issues connecting to a PDF software that our company uses. Even though Kofax PowerPDF has a guide for VBA automation stuff online, I cannot seem to make it work. Do you have any video or website recommendations for connecting to applications? Their Technical Support team has been no help, and any attempts to make connections like the examples they show in the guide are not working. I figured a bright mind like yours might be able to point me in a good direction to figure this out.

[@mohammedhashim7994]

hi , how can i disable or remove the msg box ?

[@Nevir202]

1:05 Sooooo... The intellisense (or whatever it's called) bar you're referencing there, it never appears for me, meaning I always have to guess or else look up this stuff online, no idea how it got turned off, or how to turn it back on. Anybody know?

[@Excelmacromastery]

You may have an error in your code. Use debug and compile to find and remove all errors. It should work fine then.

[@Nevir202]

@@Excelmacromastery I get no errors, and when I click compile, it executes without any warnings. *shrug*

[@krishnamanjunatha6183]
