    Product Description
    The online documentation of VB/VBA language components follows the 80/20 rule: the basic facts that you need to use a language statement are provided in the documentation. But the additional 20 percent that you need to use it effectively is conspicuously absent. To a professional VB/VBA programmer, this missing documentation isn't a luxury; it is a necessity. In VB & VBA in a Nutshell: The Language, it's finally available. This book boils down the essentials of the VB and VBA languages into a single volume, including undocumented and little-documented areas essential to everyday programming. The bulk of the book is an alphabetical reference to the statements, procedures, and functions of the VB/VBA language. Each entry includes its syntax, an extended discussion of how the language construct works, programming tips for using the construct effectively, and "gotchas" to avoid in your programming. Regardless of how much experience you have programming with VBA, this is the book you'll pick up time and time again, both as your standard reference guide and as a tool for troubleshooting and identifying programming problems.

    Amazon.com Review
    VB & VBA in a Nutshell: The Languages documents the latest version of the world's bestselling rapid application development environment. Paul Lomax's explanation of the language comes in two main parts.

    First, Lomax explains the structure and syntax of Visual Basic (VB) and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programs. He details all the important stuff, including how to work with variables, how to create custom functions, how to create classes, how to handle errors, and how to react to user events. If you're up to speed on general programming concepts and just want to know how to get something done in VB/VBA, you'll find this part of the book especially handy.

    The second, and largest, part of the book is a language reference in the classic O'Reilly style. Every function, statement, keyword, and miscellaneous bit of code has a clear, complete entry. Each entry includes a statement of syntax, a description of the function's purpose, a quick example of its use, and some tips for using it successfully. The reference documents the language as it exists in VB6. --David Wall

    If you are a programming nubie, then select another book. But, if you have even a rudimentary undersanding of programming, then you will like this book.

    A goldmine of tips. You will learn valuable details about programming features you thought you already knew.

    Probably the best book of its kind I have ever seen.

    If you have an understanding of VB and need a good reference book, this is it. It will save a lot of the time & frustration experienced when searching with MSDN.


    5 out of 5 stars very handy   August 6, 2006

    this comes in very handy if you are developing with vb/vba on a daily basis. much quicker than using the mostly confusing and badly organized MSDN online references...
