Rating: 5 stars
Summary: O'Reilly scores big again!!!
Review: The 'no bull' approach is greatly appreciated by anybody who has waded through 1500+ page monoliths looking for useful content!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good book
Review: This book has great information regarding topics I could not even get answered by user groups. Explained printer problems with NT and actually showed the work arounds. Recommended as a add on to your existing libraries of VB information

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VB reference of choice
Review: This book has quickly become my VB reference of choice. It is easy to use and covers just about all the "gotchas". Well organized and just overall an excellent reference.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another winner from O'Reilly
Review: This book is a *focused* reference manual for VB. By that I mean that it does not attempt to cover every obscure feature, but is also quite complete in its coverage of what a professional programmer wants. The second part of the book (alphabetical language reference) includes an especially useful feature called "Programming Tips & Gotchas" which points out non-intuitive features, undocumented features, and, dare I suggest it -- bugs in the product. There's professional-quality depth here -- I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Only good as a reference
Review: This book is around 600 pages long and 500 of them are VB and VBA references. Do not buy this book to learn VB because it is primarily a reference book. I personally didn't find the reference to be all that valuable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Top of the line, a must have!
Review: This book is one of the very few you simply have to have. If you have ever worked in VB and need to do VBA, it will help you separate the two. The book is perfect as a reference as well as a learning guide to VB. For beginners this book carries a wealth of information, which is greatly organized. The book would sell even if it was twice as expensive (another point to consider)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Top Quality
Review: This is a jewel...a gem...(even an encrusted studded egg) that I use on a regular basis. If you do VB/VBA programming, get it. It is one of the most referred-to books on my bookshelf. Quality through and through. Excellent job Paul Lomax & O'Reilly!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book for experienced programmers.
Review: This is an excellent book for experienced programmers. It provides detailed information without the fluff. The one downside to this book is that it is not written with beginning programmers in mind. If you are a beginner looking for help, this book is probably not the one you want to get right now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Reference Book
Review: This is an excellent book for someone who already knows how to program VB but needs a reference for looking up VB commands and syntax. I especially like the "Programming Tips and Gotchas" that are listed with every command. They contain the little things that you usually only learn about through experience and they really do save you a lot of time. Another helpful thing, after each command there's a list of related commands.

All in all this is a great resource for the professional programmer. And the clincher is that it's relatively inexpensive as far as computer books go.
