I’ve always avoided VBA because I didn’t like the ‘look’ of it. Because Apps Script uses a Javascript syntax a lot of people have familiarity with it so its more like diving in at the shallow end. The GUI Builder is great for simple stuff, but only gets you so far before your handcoding UI elements.

This project has continued to evolve and is coming close to completion. Stay tuned for another release ;)

This looks like what I am needing for my next project – though I am at that funny stage of not kowing exctly what it is I need to know….
Having previously assumed the Google Apps UI was similar to VBA form builder, and having dismissed it, I think I will go back and re-examine. The ‘test for tutor’ is particularly interesting though I suppose not specific to the UI.
