How to Use Goal Seek in Visual Basic

1. Open the Excel document in which you'd like to run your Goal Seek macro.
2. Find the two cells you would like to use for Goal Seek. The first should be the cell for which you have a fixed goal. The second should be a cell you allow Excel to change in order to fulfill that goal. The first cell's value must be a formula that is based on the second cell--otherwise, no matter what changes Excel makes to the second cell, no changes will appear in the first.
3. Open the Macro window. In Excel 2007 or later, do this by clicking on the "View" tab of the ribbon, then clicking "Macros." In earlier versions of Excel, click the "Tools" menu, choose "Macro," then choose "Macros."
4. Type a name for your Goal Seek macro in Macro window, and click "Create." This will launch the Visual Basic for Applications editor and show you the text of the new Macro, which will start out as an empty subroutine like this:Sub MyMacroName()
End Sub
5. Create a Range object representing the cell for which you have a known goal (the first cell from Step 2). For example, if you'd like to Goal Seek cell A1, write:Dim goalCell As Range
goalCell = ThisWorkbook.Worksheet(1).Range("A1")
6. Create a Range object representing the cell you'd like Excel to change to cause the first cell to reach the known goal. For example, if you'd like Excel to manipulate cell A2, write:Dim variableCell As Range
variableCell = ThisWorkbook.Worksheet(1).Range("A2")
7. Call the GoalSeek method on the goal cell's Range. As the first argument, provide the value you'd like it to Goal Seek to; as the second argument, provide the variable cell's Range. For example, if you'd like to Goal Seek to 0, write:goalCell.GoalSeek(0, variableCell)

How to Open DLL Files amp; Programs in Microsoft

Free Software for Opening DLL Files
1. Download the most recent version of Resource Hacker. Despite the name, Resource Hacker is legal freeware---it is used for hacking into your own files; it is not used for illegal third-party hacking. Resource Hacker is a free download. The file is well reviewed and is not known to have major bugs or glitches; the application received a perfect 'Stability' score at Soft32.com, a well-known downloading portal.
2. Install Resource Hacker by unzipping the file and clicking on the 'Install' icon within the now extracted ResHack.zip folder. If you do not have a program for unzipping files, download a trial or paid version of WinZip.
3. Open Resource Hacker and select the DLL file you wish to open. Use the Resource Hacker interface to look at the various file components. Resource Hacker will be able to open most DLL and program files, but editing capabilities are somewhat limited. If you simply need to open up a file, Resource Hacker will work, but to do more advanced operations, paid downloads are necessary.
Paid Software for Opening DLL Files
4. Download and install the paid or 30-day trial version of the Heaven Tools brand Resource Tuner for simple opening and editing operations. Resource Tuner is similar to Resource Hacker; however, since offered from a reputable software company, it comes backed by decent customer support and regular updates. Either Resource Hacker or Resource Tuner are good options for simple opening and editing of resource files. For more advanced opening and editing tools, proceed to Step 2.
5. Download the Heaven Tools brand PE Explorer. Free 30-day trials are offered, but for extended use, you will need to pay. The cost varies depending on what you'll be using the program for---it costs less for personal use than it does for business use. After you purchase the software, the complete file can be downloaded or you can request a CD copy of the software.
6. Install PE Explorer by clicking on the downloaded install files or simply inserting the easy-to-use install CD. Follow on-screen directions for installation and activation.
7. Open PE Explorer. Use the program to open and edit most resource files and programs, including DLL, EXE, SCR, CPL, SYS, BPL and DPL file extensions.
