What is the "object browser"?

That seems reasonably clear.
Now, if you call a macro with a cell range as its argument, how does
that work?

I'm still at the level of not really knowing how to work the VB editor,
and not understanding basic VB syntax constructs...

No, you can't record a macro in Access. Recording macros is an
Excel/Word/Powerpoint thing and it (now) produces VBA code. I agree that
"macro" as a term is inconsistently used in MS Office (a legacy issue I
guess).

Right click in the code view and choose "Object Browser". It basically
shows every "object" available, and what its members are. Help is available
for every item.

I don't have any experience with that, but I assume that the range would
just be placed into a variable, just like if you passed a number or
individual cell etc. Look up "range" in the object browser and you'll see
its member functions to work with it.

Get a book? Read a tutorial online? Trial and error?

I think if I ever need to do this for real, that would be the only
viable option...

And that's a darn good thing. I've avoided tens or even hundreds of
hours of clicking around spreadsheets with VBA in past 5 years.
What comes for the missing pre-defined functions, I haven't found an
"explode" -function so far, so I did need to code one. It wasn't hard -
macro recorder and surfing the internet told me everything I needed.

Yeah. I don't need a loop to call SUM(A1:A10) either. :-)

Are you familiar with msdn.microsoft.com, the complete documentation for
everything you program on Windows that comes from Microsoft?

No. I'm aware it documents the really low-level Win32 API stuff that
only C programmers understand. I wasn't aware it contains anything
useful to normal people...
