 A great book specially for Excel development June 21, 1999
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.
Almost Perfect April 27, 1999

It was what I was looking for. The perfect book for users like me who had passed from Access Programming and wanted to get into Office's Objects world. Also in Outlook, with the right ammount of APIs for getting interested and buy more books. You read all the 963 pages easily, all of them without skipping.
Solid overview of VBA's applicaton integration potential December 30, 1998
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 December 10, 1998

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.
 OK for the begining Application Professional October 10, 1998
As a developer, i did not find the book too useful. there was too much of a spin on Excel and too little on Word and Access. database development is the root of integrated applications. why so little attention on access? Case in point-on page 282 & 283, you failed to describe in detail what is going on in your sample code. code related to excel recieved more attention.
