5.0 out of 5 stars When I thought it was impossible,..... I thought wrong!, March 11, 1999
By Vishal (Singapore) - See all my reviews
An excellent book. I used it primarily for my Word Application that automatically creates a report from existing Access97 Database. What could not be accomplished using MailMerge had to be done using DAO and this book was definitely a gem. I doubt I could have completed my task without this book. It should be on the bookshelf of every VBA programmer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well laid out and informative. The MS Office Object Bible., August 5, 1998
By BassAl (CT, USA) - See all my reviews
A great reference book. I can resolve most of my VB Office Object issues by thumbing through the Table of Contents and finding the appropriate topic matter page. The book is truly easy to read, yet informative.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lacking in any substance or merit, August 2, 2000
By Jeff (Syracuse, NY) - See all my reviews
I bought this book looking for a guide to various office objects, methods, etc. I found this book to have no real substance. It does an inadequate job of explaining what objects are out there, how to use them, and what they are for. I was primarily looking for Excel references, but have since found this book to be useless for Outlook and Access as well. Not being new to VB, VBA, or VBScript, I find this book good neither for beginners OR advanced users.
