I want to learn to make program using VBA for Microstation. I would prefer to learn VBA not MDL since I would use that language or Excel or any other windows programs. I found a college coarse for Introductory to VBA. Which is not geared to any one windows program like Microstation. I assume this is not the best coarse to teach me how to program for Microstation. Any advise what kind of coarse I should be looking for, maybe VB scripting? I am not quite clear what is the difference between VBA vs VB scripting. Maybe some kind of training book instead?
I want to automate some routine task we do in Microstation. I have learned to program from a book before, with AutoLisp (autocad), which I greatly enjoyed. So I have some experience in programming. I am hoping to ideally spend 40hours learning VBA through a coarse or book, not sure if that is realistic. Any advise of what kind of coarse or book. If VBA scrip is the way for me, where can I find a coarse or which tutorial book would you recommend. Thanks.
Actually, there are onDemand eLearning courses for MicroStation VBA -- those can be found starting on http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Training/Products/Resources/Books/
More details on the "Learning MicroStation VBA" Bentley Institute book mentioned can be found on http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Training/Products/Resources/Books/Learning+MicroStation+VBA.htm
I could not find a VBA online course, I found many other topics but not VBA. I toward taking the online course. Does the on line course include online assistance with the VBA exercises? Also, do you get some kind of college credit upon completion of test?
Thanks.
Here is one way to find those:
I bought the Microstation vba book from Bentley Institute Press that came with a CD, but the cd is blank. Can someone post this file on this forum. I can see it has some data on the cd, due to the lines that are burned on the data side. I tried both windows explorer and Microstation VBA Project manager, but no luck. The cd is clean and no scratches. I bought it about a year ago, but have not had time till now to get into it. Phil not sure if you have this in your library. thanks.
this is the book I have

There is a lot of stuff on that CD, way too much to "post this ... on this forum". Please contact me (offline) with your contact information and we will look into getting another CD out to you.
wow, that was quick. Ok I found your email, will send you my info. tx
