    Welcome to the forum.

    It depends from coder to coder. Some record and then make changes to the code. Some directly type in the codes.

    Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]

    Re: Beginner for Macros

    I've been coding in VBA for more than 15 years, but I still find the macro recorder useful on occasion. If I want to do something I'm not familiar with then I'll record a macro to do it and see what Excel objects and parameters are used and then adapt them for my code.

    Mainly though the code generated by the recorder is so terrible that it's not a particularly useful starting pointing for writing anything other than the most basic of macros.
