VBA is....interesting

VBA is powerful. I'm in an intro to VBA class at BYU this semester which has been pretty awesome. There's a bit of stuff you can do in VBA to make Excel and other apps pretty smooth. The IDE sucks though. Pretty bad.

Maybe I'm spoiled, having learned C# in VS2008. Maybe I'm just a sucker for a pretty face, and VS definitely has that. Eiter way, using the built-in IDE and looking at the standard forms, the only thing I can think is "This would look SO much better in C#." Problem is that my final has to be done in VBA. I considered importing a C# project as an activex control and sneaking around it that way, but decided that would probably earn me a great grade for creativity, and a bad grade for everything else.

I mean, who wants a form that looks this bland?

Oh well. This is a screenshot from my final project, a tax client tracking tool for my dad. It can invoice, create/email reports, email reminders, etc.
