2.0 out of 5 stars Not great. Does have some value., April 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: VBA for Dummies (Paperback)
I found this book nowhere near as helpful as other Dummies books on VBA programming. If you want another good starter book, I would recommend "Access 97 Programming for Dummies", which is full of real world examples that will help you understand VBA.

The author just seemed to get too cute with the subject matter. Also, the lack of real world examples really hurts this book. You can't step into object-oriented programming when you decide to invent your own objects for everything.

The explanation of how loops work is okay and the constants information is not bad. Overall, however, get a real technical book and try to learn it that way. It will be harder, but you will be better for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for dummies!, August 16, 2000
This review is from: VBA for Dummies (Paperback)
I picked up this book at a local bookstore (sorry Amazon), mainly because it was the only VBA book they had. This book allowed me to learn a lot of the concepts of VBA programming, in connection with Word 97 Annoyances, and VB&VBA Programming in a Nutshell. I recommend it to beginning VB programmers, like I was. It helped me get above the basics, fast. It's easy to discount these Dummies books, and most of them are so "Dummy" that they aren't worth the effort, but this one is a good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good transition from Excel VBA to VBA / VB, April 10, 2000
This review is from: VBA for Dummies (Paperback)
I learned VBA via Excel, but felt limited by my Excel-centric world and wanted get a broader VBA/VB perspective. By introducing topics like ActiveX controls and text stream objects with a minimum of hard-to-understand terminology, this book helped me reach my goal.
