4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference except for Outlook volume, May 5, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Office 97 Visual Basic Language Reference (Paperback)

This five-volume set is a good reference work for VBA programmers and Office developers in general. However, the Outlook section has a serious flaw: it documents the wrong version of Visual Basic. Outlook uses VB Script, not VBA, and all the examples in the Outlook section of this manual set are written in VBA, many using named constants and language elements that will not run in VB Script

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference source for serious VBA programmers, November 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Office 97 Visual Basic Language Reference (Paperback)

Yes, this is the online help files on paper. No, there is nothing more here than the help files.

However, if you are serious about programming, you don't have all of the MS Office 97 references memorized, (and are still unable to get the Win98 multiple monitor technology to work,) this reference source is for you.

Nothing extra, just the language references in black and white. Where you can use them--off the screen--not in front of your programming environment. Thanks Microsoft!--from those of us who still like to multi-task on and off the system.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing but the help files printed out, March 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Office 97 Visual Basic Language Reference (Paperback)

I bought this only to return it a few hours later. It contains exactly the same text as the VBA help files included with office. So if you want to spend $120 for a printed version of the help files that you got for free, go right ahead. It doesn't even have an index.
