Ha - good timing! I've been using VBA today and yesterday actually!

Often only a few times a year I use it now but when I do it I feel productive.

In case your wondering I has a previous Excel VBA Macro that I wrote for updating a SQL Server Database based on data in Excel. The macro first has to run checks against data in an IBM AS/400 Database.

I ended up having to pull out the macro to do a bulk update in an ERP. It was faster to do this then re-write in an modern language (especially since I work with the data in Excel first).
