Summary: Introductory but out of date
Review: I needed a quick course in Visual Basic for Excel. This book did the trick. I was tired of reading others' macros and trying to figure out what meant what. With a college course in Fortran77 providing me the basic framework of how to program, I found this book easy to follow and easier to learn from. I don't know if someone with absolutely no programming experience would find it as helpful, but it was an excellent book for me. I can now create my own code without having to use the recorder, and I can figure out other's complex code with the foundation the book provided.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Numerous examples and suggestions in the book were not accurate using Excel 97. For a self-paced, self-taught learner, look elsewhere.

Summary: Great Book for starters
Review: This is a very good book to begin programming in Excel VBA, but not to end if you will. The book sort of gives you a push and YOU! have to then take the ball and run with it. The book is analogous to how a mother bear chases her cubs away once they are big enough to take care of themselves. The cubs, though with enough skills to survive, are still left with new and open possibilities before them. The reason why is that most of the examples are too easy, making them too unrealistic for the real world. The other is that the book is based on an older Excel version. This book is really great for those people who are scared of programming and want to make the transition, but are not sure of what road to take.

Summary: Using Excel VBA
Review: This is the only Visual Basic book I have seen which allows users to program in VB without first learning the intricacies of the language. Which makes this book the only convenient source (that I have found; after repeated trips to book stores and libraries) for anyone who is attempting to make useful programs in Excel. While it was written for Excel 7.0 the applications (amazingly) still work in Excel 2000. I would recomend this book to anyone who works with computers and wishes to save some time by avoiding tedious data entry.
