VBA - Visual Basic for Applications - Scripting, ASP, MS Office Automation

VBA - Visual Basic for Applications -

VBA has been around for over 20 years.  In the early days it was a limited to core functions supporting MS Access, Excel, Word and Windows Server functions such as login scripts.  The early days of DOS were used to manage logins to Novell Servers which was the impossible to catch leader for nearly a decade. 


Scripting,

Active Server Pages (ASP)
Developed by Microsoft in mid nineties as their foray so the Windows NT Servers could be sold as supporting web sites.  The IIS model 5.0 was pretty crude compared to current standards but then few hardly cared about online attacks such as the NIMBA virus. 



MS Office Automation

This is where MS Access can take over MS Outlook or send data to MS Word to Publish a mailing list or mailmerge.

Customer Solution:

Computer Programmer
Walnut Creek Company
April 2007 - August 2010 - Walnut Creek, CA
Developed custom applications are requested using Outlook, Access and VB - Contract work at random times over 5 years
Skills: ASP, Outlook, VBA, Web HTML, ETL, SQL Server 7/2000/2005, Microsoft Word 2003




Developed custom connectors by integrating VBA, MS Access, VB, with Outlook VBA that processed zipped files that arrived as attachments for daily reports, files and datasets.  The MS Access program monitored Outlook via the library, then processed the attachments by unzipping, reading the files, parsing the headers then reformatted the data for Yardi Systems General Ledger property management module.

The client was consuming several hours per day for a daily task that was very tedious that few in the offices wanted to deal with. The net savings in man hours was about 16 to 20 hours per week or the equivalent of  part time employee's salary.

Net savings in a professional office was significant enough to justify project.
Payroll Savings: $15,000
Project Cost: $4,000
