Mastering VBA as learning tool February 29, 2008

Mastering VBA (Mastering)
I have only just started to use this book to learn VBA.
It is clear and concise and structured to lead a novice from basic macros through to more complex VBA scripting.
The examples and lessons cover Word, Excel and Powerpoint at the same time showing any differences between the programs.
It is well worth a look for people who use these packages but have not yet dabbled in VBA.

This book is an absolute page turner! Hemingway, Dumas? These witers are hacks compared to the prose of these accomplished writers. A must read!

I only had to scan the table of contents to realize that this product is not the "end-all" for VBA programming needs. The few dozen or so pages dedicated the MS Access are clearly nowhere near what is needed to leverage VBA capability for the program where it is most valuable: Access!
Database programmers - look elsewhere.

I bought this book because I was going to develop some tools to make things a little easier around the office. It has helped me tremendously, the sections on Excel and Word I found especially helpful. However, the access portion has much to be desired. For instance, First paragraph in chapter 29 on Manipulating the Data in an Access Database via VBA: (paraphrased) Data can be modified from either Access or another VBA-enabled application. This chapter shows you how to work from another VBA-enabled application.
Well what if I wanted to learn how to modify an Access db from Access! Ok maybe Access deserves a whole book to itself, but still it would have been nice if the book elaborated a little on Access VB objects.
GREAT reference for beginners February 7, 2007
