Summary: If you're a VBA developer, you need this book!
Comment: I couldn't believe how much useful, reusable code I found in this book. I also don't understand the complaints people have about this book not being about VBA. I just don't get it -- it's ALL about VBA, the language. And I haven't found any book that covers the language better. It's useful for me, as a mostly Excel developer, as well as anyone using any flavor of VBA, including VB5 or VB6. So don't believe these folks that seem to think VBA is a macro thing for Office, and a VBA book should be about programming Office -- it's not, it's a language, and I'm really happy with the tools I've gotten from reading this book. Just the classes showing how to read and write from the registry alone were worth the price of the book.

Summary: Great Book. For Intermediate Programmers. Highly Recommended
Comment: Great amount of sample code. Intermediate topics start off with how to Encrypt using XOR... or find the last occurrence of a substring in a string and move quickly up from there. These are valuable algorithms and code. As the authors quote Lionel Trilling "Immature artists imitate. Mature artists steal." You will find this code very usable in your own work: particularly if you use Excel97 or Access97. This book is a wide collection of routines, organized around main topics. The authors demonstrate their object oriented VBA classes that make API calls to extend Excel and Access functionality. They provide a cd-rom with the source code to the samples. You get classes for Excel97 and one for Access97. They don't describe the inside of that code, but they do show you how to use it. Overall I would call this a VBA Cookbook. Lots of code for when you are stuck on a VBA problem. Need the code to enumerate Registry Keys and Values... no sweat, see page 568. Want a VB class to manipulate the Registry? They provide it on disk. There is actually more here than the authors can adequately describe in detail. And the book is over 900 pages! Overall I'd say it's a real find for VBA programmers.

Summary: Reference Book
Comment: Good reference book... help you find tricks to do automation and to maximize the output of your VBA code. Not for newbies.
