- Enable
Option Explicit
- This Forces explicit declaration of all variables in a file, or allows implicit declarations of variables.
- Use
Title blocks for each Macro
- This title blocks will give you information about the module what it does and how it will be called.
PROGRAM: UpdateCustomerCur DESCRIPTION: This is to update the list of customer currency in the database CALL: Call thru Macro UpdateCustomerCur

Get Advantage of
Modular Programming
Technique- Modular programming is a software design technique that emphasizes seperating the functionality of a program into dependent, interchangeable modules, such that each contains everything necessary to execute only one aspect of the desired functionality.
- Categorize and divide your code based from what it does and create one module for similar task. Follow Modular Programming technique due to its advantage when refactoring and scaling your code. Also, it will give you less headache when you're debugging your code, easy to understand, and really helpful for big and complex projects.

Declaring
Constants and Variables
- The scope of a variable in Excel VBA determines where that variable may be used. You determine the
scope of a variable
when you declare it. There are three scoping levels: procedure level, module level, and public module level. - Make use the advantage of declaring variables based from scope (i.e. Local, Module, Public)
Constants
are coded in ALL_UPPER_CASE with words seperated by underscores.
- The scope of a variable in Excel VBA determines where that variable may be used. You determine the
Global Const WDGT_STATUS_OK = 0 Global Const WDGT_STATUS_BUSY = 1 Global Const WDGT_STATUS_FAIL = 2 Global Const WDGT_STATUS_OFF = 3 Global Const WDGT_STATUS_START = 4 Global Const WDGT_STATUS_STOP = 5
- Naming Convention for SubProcedures and Functions >>>
VERB.NOUN.ADJECTIVE
Sub UpdateCustomerCur() 'Code goes here End Sub
- Use
HungarianNotation
for Variables, Constants, SubProcedures and Functions- Hungarian notation is an identifier naming convention in computer programming, in which the name of a variable or function indicates its intention or kind, and in some dialects its type. The original Hungarian Notation uses intention or kind in its naming convention and is sometimes called Apps Hungarian as it became popular in the Microsoft Apps division in the development of Word, Excel and other apps. As the Microsoft Windows division adopted the naming convention, they used the actual data type for naming, and this convention became widely spread through the Windows API; this is sometimes called Systems Hungarian notation.

A Microsoft Excel Application using Visual Basic for Application (VBA) programming to web scrape documents and extract supporting documents. Note: This project won't run without a "private" application installed/accessed
. However, web scraping techniques and codes used in this project could serve as reference for other developers.
