After a 10-month absence, I have spent some time at Xtreme VB Talk again. I felt my brain needed some exercise, but I wouldn’t have the time or energy to focus on any substantial project, so some foruming should be just the right thing. It felt like coming home. I used to spend a lot of time there.

We used to get so many questions about automating Excel that we (myself and another user) wrote a tutorial about that, and I used to refer others to it daily. So much so that I knew the thread ID by heart, and – as it turns out – remember it even now, 10 months later. (The thread ID is 135815.)

Out of curiosity I checked how many other people have been reading that tutorial, and my other big tutorial (about Excel userforms). Both turned out to be among the top 5 most popular tutorials on the site – #2 and #4, respectively. I am really pleased and proud!

This all makes my fingers itch… for code, and for writing, too. Perhaps I should write some more tutorials?
