Quick Excel VBA Question

[Danger_Duck]

I know this is NOT the best place to ask this, but I figure somebody must know:

Does Visual Basic even have the concept of a string? I'm in Excel's table of
contents "Microsoft Excel Visual Basic Reference" and I don't see string, or
methods I see in online forums such as Split, RightString, LeftString etc...

And is there a newsgroup for VBA questions?

Thanks!

Hello Danger_Duck,

Newsgroups;
-microsoft.public.excel
-microsoft.public.excel.programming

They're very handy, and the people there are willing to help.

In VBA, there's not really a string object that encapsulates methods and
properties for that object (unless it's deep into the inner workings of the
language). Using the Excel VBA help file, and IntelliSense you can see the
string functions and fields. These functions for strings are in the VBA
Class in VBA, (poor) examples;

VBA.Right("the string", length)
VBA.Left("the string", length)
VBA.Mid("the string", start_index, [length])
VBA.Len("the string")

..... Many more
