Macro Writing Reference?

[burnsbyrne]

Does anybody know of a reference that approaches the topic of macros from a really basic point of view?

I have been working wiith Excel for 10-15 years but I never learned how to write macros. I have read the Microsoft Excel 2003 macro section but somehow I just don't get it. I also tried the "Dummies" book. I found it cute but relatively useless as a reference. My attempts at recording a "relative reference" always end up as absolute. I am virtually illiterate when it comes to programming.

Thanks.
