Is there a way to obtain/calculate (or approximate) the "Available Memory" Number shown in Task Manager using VBA?
Thanks.

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
I figured it out

Code:
Sub GetMemory()
    Dim oInstance As Object, colInstances As Object
    Dim totalMem As Single, availMem As Single
 
    Set colInstances = GetObject("winmgmts:").ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_PhysicalMemory")
    For Each oInstance In colInstances
        totalMem = totalMem + oInstance.Capacity / 1024 / 1024
    Next


    Set colInstances = GetObject("winmgmts:").ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem")
    For Each oInstance In colInstances
        availMem = availMem + oInstance.FreePhysicalMemory / 1024
    Next
    
    MsgBox (totalMem & " " & availMem)
    
End Sub
