So Jen, the next question is about your skill set. Can you tell me what VBA is, where you will find it used, and how much you know?

Well. VBA stands for Visual Basic for Applications. It is a programming language used behind most Microsoft Office applications.... blah blah...

Oh, as for how much I know? I know a lot.

Can you programme VBA to save a file?
yes
can you open a file, read the contents, run some form of checks, save the file with a new name and close the file?
Yep.
How?
Shall I write it for you?
