Creating new sheets
I'd like to design a new sheet and am mostly getting along with shameless hacking of previous sheets. I know that the sheets are using some sort of Visual Basic Scripting, but googling for syntax for some commands are not giving me good results. The FlexSheet uses a "StartTable" command. I would like to know how to set the left-hand x position of the table. More generally, I'd love to find a written guide for whatever version of Visual Basic Script this is. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.

Re: Creating new sheets
The sheets in GCA4 use VB script from Microsoft's scripting engine. Some of the stuff you're seeing may be either direct access to the third-party print engine, or custom helper routines I provided to make some things easier for sheet writers.
The print engine used by GCA4 is VSView/VSPrint, which is a print & preview engine from VideoSoft. (Years ago, VideoSoft became part of ComponentOne, which is now owned by GrapeCity. ) There are some helpful tips, bits of docs, and a link to some VSView docs (for a bit newer version) on the GCA Wiki. AddTable and TextBox are part of my print sheet helper library. I don't think I have any docs for most of that stuff here anywhere, but I found a partial doc I wrote, which I'll include here. Quote:
