4.0 out of 5 stars
Solid overview of VBA's applicaton integration potential,
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual Basic for Applications Unleashed (Paperback)
Very useful for me in some unanticipated areas: Introduction to API and Registry concepts; Command bar manipulation; Error handling and debugging strategies; Web topics; Appendices and the HTML Primer. Word's potential as an Automation client was not well represented. It is curious that an application so rich in objects, methods, properties, and constants receives such scant treatment when it appears to this user to be the ideal client for interface with users in the automated programs I am developing which involve database and file manipulation tasks. But the author treated the VB language well enough to provide the basic tools for discovery. Coming from a position of no formal computer or programming training, the code examples were especially concise and useful, and aptly illustrated the topics. The lack of typographic and grammatical errors was refreshing. Because of its strong, cohesive content, and good text editing, the book was a good read, and substantially increased my development skills in both grasping the big picture and working the details.

A good book for beginners to VBA,
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual Basic for Applications Unleashed (Paperback)
I finished this book in 14 days and learned a lot on the introductory of VBA in Office 97. I gave it 4 stars was because it did not cover a lot on database programming. It is a good book for those guys who wanted to perform 'Automation' in Office 97.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book specially for Excel development,
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual Basic for Applications Unleashed (Paperback)
Why I've bought this book? I have read the comments of others who previously bought it and what convinced me was the fact that it was based more on Excel than on other MSOffice apps. This is what i was looking for. Unfortunately there are not many books on VBA for Office 97, and what exists is either too complex for a beginner or way too easy. I haven't finished the book yet, but for my own purposes is excellent and really straightforward to read. I have learned something new from the very first chapter of the book.
