Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We will retrieve the value of a DataTable parameter, namely, LocalParam1, from the Action1 local sheet with the following code written in the code editor inside Action1"

A block of code is set as follows:

Dim MyLocalParam

MyLocalParam = DataTable.Value("LocalParam1", dtLocalSheet)
Print MyLocalParam

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Leave all the fields with the default values and click on OK."
