Appendix F. Where to Find Help

One of the biggest challenges confronting anyone attempting to learn a new skill is what to do once you have worked through all of the material in the course or book. While we have attempted to make this text as complete as possible, we recognize that you may want to do things which were not covered here.

This appendix is dedicated to giving you additional resources to help further your development. The resources contained in these pages are all free, and many are hosted by volunteers and MVPs. Keep in mind that the lists are essentially snapshots, so some will disappear or become lost in the multitudes as new sites emerge; and although we cannot vouch for the content of the sites, we are confident enough to recommend them for reference material — at this time.

Websites with RibbonX Information

While websites offering help with VBA are too numerous to cover, the number of sites with RibbonX-related information is just beginning to burgeon. Table F-1 lists a few of the sites that are currently recognized as providing credible information.
