An absolutely must for anyone who has yet to begin with VBA

There are several handbooks about VBA but none of them tell you as much about Object Oriented Programming as this book [in a way that can be understood].This book is very well suited for anyone with some advanced programming experience and knowledge of Excel.I like it!

Great tutorial AND reference book!

I cannot emphasize enough the utility of this book! I had NO programming experience but since reading this book, I am prolific in writing code. The book progresses logically and slowly step by step allowing a self-paced environment. The best attribute of this book is that it is also a great reference book. I dont expect this book to ever be obsolete. Well worth the price and time/effort needed to read it!!

One of the best introductory books on VBA that I've seen

Hi -I had to write and tell you what a great job Matthew Harris did in "Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic for Applications 5 in 21 Days (Third Edition)". I am a computer consultant and a Certified Technical Trainer. Good books, especially at the neophyte level for programming, are hard to find. Most of them make assumptions that the reader has prior programming knowledge, which is often not the case at all. I purchased this...

Mostly Excel and Word - Little Access

Good overall lessons. However, I have not worked my way through the whole book yet, but at a glance I have noticed that there is not much treatment of Access issues, which is why I wanted a VBA book. I went for the book thinking it would cover each application equally, but I should have looked more closely. Still, Access, Outlook, etc., should not be listed on the cover with equal billing.

Excellent book for those who want to simplify everyday tasks

Having completed about half the book I can say that the examples are clear and straightforward. Understanding how Macros work can help you to crack them open and write better, more powerful macros than ever before! This text will also help you to understand Visual Basic as the syntax is nearly identical, a big plus in today's corporate computing environment.
