How about a Tutorial

Quick summary:

Public - Make available to every module in a project.

Private - Available only to the current module. Typically used to hide or encapsulate implementation details. For example, you may have a Public wrapper for a private api declaration and implementation. Or, you may have a Public Get Property and a Private Let Property, making it oestensibly Read-Only outside the Class / Form.

Static - Use to retain values between calls, in other words, each call to the Sub / Function uses the same variable(s). Sometimes used to speed up critical code.

OK, I guess I'll go public with what I'm doing.  Jonesy had expressed an intrest a while back to learn VBA, and since no one jumped on it, I said I would help her.  I'm putting together a small do-it-your-self-at-your-own-pace seminar based on what I know. (Which isn't much, but I tried to help)
I am currently putting together what I call a primer which starts with some concepts needed that I learned from VB, and apply that to VBA
This offer is much appreciated. Thanks
I am looking forward to learning as much as I can, to make my life easier :D
Thanks for explaining the word "many" to me, it means a lot.

I think people need to know how the vbamanager works, how to load a VBA project, how to access the macros, how to create a new module, name a module, save a project etc.

When I was starting, people would send me code or I would copy code from The Net but I didn't know what to do with it.
Once I learned how to make a Module, name it, paste the code in and save it, I was on my way.

I intend to cover those very topics b/c I know exactly what you mean.  We got all this cool code, but couldn't make it work b/c we didn't know what to do with it

Also, navigating through The VBA help screens is very valuable. Can't tell you how many examples I have copied or borrowed from.
