Oh boy, I have done it now! Over the last year through the help of this news group and lots of research on the web I have written several Vba macro’s for my company. As an example, one of the macro’s exports the parts lists from Inventor to excel (.csv) files, creates the directories on the net work, manipulates the information to accommodate our MRP system and finally cross checks the part numbers with the access data base for correctness (see attached video, a little hard to see but you will get the idea). These macro’s have been so effective that there is no longer any need for overtime. What would have taken thirty-five minutes per job release now takes three minutes. I still have other macro's that I have not made public to the other designers yet for fear of even less work. As of my last review I have been labeled as being “Topped Out”. I have reached my maximum pay per/hr for a designer. I do not have a degree in programming, but then again they are not looking for a programmer. The question is, would you continue to strive for a company that has labeled you as being “Topped Out”? Would you continue to create and release your macro’s?
