Hi Sandi,
My suggestion would be to start with the online free Tutorials
and then move up to purchasing a book.
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm#tutorials
perhaps starting with
Microsoft Excel for Windows -- Visual Basic for Applications 101 «
VBA 101, meaning, of course, an introductory course in VBA
[
http://support.microsoft.com/support/excel/content/vba101/default.asp]
Starts of with Recording Your First Macro, Running the Recorded Macro,
Assigning Macros to Controls, Recording Macros Using Relative Cell Referencing,
Avoiding Pitfalls When You Record a Macro, and Where to Store Macros.

VBA TUTOR: VBA Tutorials for EXCEL, WORD and ACCESS «, Gary Radley,
http://www.vbatutor.com/vbatutor.htm -- download lessons or online
My own pages getstarted.htm, proper.htm, formula.htm
have some information that would be interest in working wiht
macros..
For a book you can hardly go wrong with a book by
John Walkenbach,

Debra Dalgleish has a web page on Excel books

Once you have installed and used your first macro, the newsgroup
to use would be microsoft.public.excel.programming
then nobody has to waste time to make sure you know how to install
a macro.
