Hello,
I am new to the forum and very new to VBA. Basically I am just looking for a place to start. We do many events which include recording meetings. Thus we have an online calendar with info on each meeting.
I want to be able to:
Prompt the user to insert a unique ID which goes on the back end of a URL that opens in IE
Takes the data that I need from the page such as email, meeting title, date and time.
Create an outlook invite with the standard text we put into the body.
Then the user can review the meeting invite and hit send if all the info is correct.
Is the doable in VBA? Seems like it would be a perfect fit. I have been reading a book on coding VBA but is such a slow read. Is there a better way to learn this or should I push on?
My experience with coding is not extensive, but I know Javascript, PHP, and HTML very well so I see some similarities, but my attention span for this book is really testing me. In the past I've learned code by creating, not by reading, but I am also having a hard time finding a launchpad.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
