VERY Green to QM

[purelife]

Purelife,

I just wanted to take a moment to address your opinion of the QM help file. When I first downloaded QM just over 2 years ago the help file might has well been written in Chinese, but through working through new macros and functions eventually the help file became one of the best help files I have ever seen. Gintaras has meticulously documented the functionality and usability of Quick Macros.

My advice to beginning with QM is to use the record function of QM to record mouse and keyboard actions, then edit those files. Play with them, replace messy parts with loops. Always check the forum for more in depth program control. For example, if you search the forum you'll find quite a lot of ways to directly work with Excel, getting data, setting data and things like that.

Thanks,
Jimmy Vig

Hi Jimmy,

My comments no way meant to degrade the help file...it is just to me it was not useful. Sure once you have an understanding of the tool it would/will be great...but for just starting out as a novice..it is a bit overwhelming. The time put into it is obvious...but it flies over a rooks head.

It would be nice if there was a few example macros created. One thing Microsoft does really well in their dbs is their continuation of example databases to build. Each one builds on the last, and exposes the user to new techniques and functions.

If the target demographic of this tool does not include those of us who are not that adept to coding, then please disregard my comments. But if we are in the target, please consider.
Thank you very much, Purelife
