SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express is used in our SQL data examples. This
is available for download from the Apress web site (www.apress.com), in the Source Code/
Download section.
To create the code for Chapter 9, ???ActiveX and .NET,??? you??™ll need Visual Basic 5 or 6 (for
the ActiveX section) and Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005 SE (for the
.NET section). If you do not have one or both of the above, the compiled components for each
example are provided on the Apress web site. The .NET Framework 2.0 should be installed on
your PC for the .NET examples to run. If you do not have Visual Studio 2005, you??™ll be able to
run the samples, but you won??™t have direct access to the code.

along, but before we do that, let??™s take a quick look at Excel??™s Macro Recorder and the Visual
Basic Development Environment.
