What it does
Core purpose
Simple-Intermediate topics. Note: Ron has archived all these sites, it will not be updated, and some information is out of date, yet it is still an incredible resource for VBA.
Where it sits
Ron de Bruin belongs to the Websites family of VBA community tools. It is listed on the community-maintained awesome-vba index and is actively used by Microsoft Office automation developers.
How to get it
Source location
Full source, documentation, and release notes are maintained at web.archive.org. Treat that URL as the canonical reference — bugs and feature requests live there.
Installation pattern
For a typical GitHub-hosted VBA library: download the .bas, .cls, or .frm files from the repository, then in the VBA editor (Alt + F11) use File → Import File… to bring each module into your project. Save the host document as .xlsm, .accdb, or .docm so macros are retained.
When to use it
Best fit
Reach for Ron de Bruin when your automation needs Websites capability and you want a peer-reviewed library rather than rolling your own. The awesome-vba curator reviews inclusions for active maintenance and community support.
Alternatives worth evaluating
Before committing to Ron de Bruin, browse the other entries in the same Websites section of our tools directory — several libraries typically overlap in purpose, and the right pick depends on your Office version, 32- vs 64-bit target, and licensing needs.
