Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Microsoft Office 97 Programming with VBA for Dummies applies the standard For Dummies treatment to a difficult subject. This guide does a superb job of making the Excel, Word, Access, and PowerPoint object models accessible to novice programmers. With a 200-page introduction to Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)--the common programming language that is packaged with all of the major Office applications--Microsoft Office 97 Programming with VBA for Dummies could serve as a first book in this area. However, a separate Visual Basic manual is a prerequisite to progress beyond novice-level programming.
Because the book covers Word, Access, PowerPoint, and Access programming, it necessarily sacrifices depth for breadth. The guide allots one introductory chapter and one or two "advanced" chapters for each of these four applications, which is just enough space to cover one short example of about a hundred lines of code. Nonetheless, if you are interested in a simple and fun introduction to VBA Office programming, this is the book for you.

This review is from: Microsoft Office 97 Programming With Vba for Dummies (Paperback)
I bought this book over ten years ago. It's probably still a good reference, as there isn't a for Dummies overall one, but there is Excel 2007 VBA Programming For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) and Access 2007 VBA Programming For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)).
It taught me all of the basics of VBA, which is Visual Basic for Applications like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Access. It goes over VBA examples in VBA is still really the same. I've been using what I learned in this book every week or so for the last ten years. If you're learning VBA, I'd recommend buying this used as a refernece, with a whole lot of other books, of course.
