5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Learning Tool, 9 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I highly recommend this book for anyone wishing to learning VBA programming for Excel 97. It is a great starting point for anyone upgrading from Excel 5.0 macros or for anyone who wishes to start learning VBA programming. In fact, as corporate trainer, I purchase a copy of this book for every student who takes one of my Excel 97 VBA programming class. Each of the approximately 60 students that have used this book have indicated they think it is an exceptional learning tool. Besides teaching how to work with macros, the book simultaneously teaches some of the new features and shortcuts in Excel 97, which is a nice plus. The only negative comments we have had are that Chapter 3 provides too much detail for the average person, and at the very least, it should come later in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!, 31 Dec 1997
By A Customer
This is an excellent self-study guide for learning VBA for Excel 97! I am a long-time Lotus 1-2-3 user and am very proficient with Lotus Macros. Our company is making the switch to Excel 97, and since my job is to develop spreadsheet applications for our company, I needed to learn how to write detailed macros and create user friendly forms and customize menus in Excel 97. I have been to two classes taught locally for VBA Excel, however, they used version 7.0, and didn't offer it in version 97. The User Forms and Customized Menus differ from version 7.0 to version 97 and the instructors at the classes I attended could not show me the differences because they only used 7.0 ... so I found this book and decided to buy it. I got excited during Lesson 1 because I picked up a few new pointers! By the time I got to lesson 3, I was singing the praises of this book! In EVERY lesson, I was learning new things! This book is well written and easy to read, however, it also takes you into some detailed and intense topics that can take a while to digest. This book starts out with teaching you how to record a simple macro and walks you through and explains the Visual Basic commands the macro created. It then gets into more complex macro tasks including Excel's Object Library, Range Objects, Graphical Objects, Pivot Tables, Custom Menus and Custom Forms. This book comes with a CD that contains interactive lessons. There are twelve lessons in the book and you can go at your own pace. I would especially recommend this book to anyone who is a Lotus 1-2-3 Macro Guru and needs to learn how to create custom applications in Excel 97.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - For Beginners, 10 Jul 2002
By Mr. Raheel Hannan "Raheel" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I think it is important to emphasise based on other reviews that this book has been designed for complete beginners in VBA. In light of that seems to have achieved its purpose very well.

The explanations of the code are done with a view to help you learn firstly where to get help, secondly to understand the rationale of the code and how it works rather than deal with every scenario. My view is that the book does very well to explain the concepts to a level so that the user has a grounding to advance. I find this style much more readeable then a book written as a reference book which requires a grounding in the basic concepts in the first instance anyway.

I have already found several places at work where I can implement the code almost directly as found in the book and by understanding the concepts I am beginning to make the code even more effective.

The structure covers concepts which for a non programmer give a practical understanding of the flexibility Visual basic and once again I feel the concepts are very well explained. The chapters are also quite independent so that you don't necessarily have to have understood all the concepts in earlier chapters to pick up benefits from later chapters. For someone who is learning without much assistance or teaching aid (like myself) this book was absolutely invaluable, especially if you have a thought process which only needs a push in the right direction or a few ideas to take things much further. Other goods books on Excel and Access VBA are by Wrox publishers but these are very detailed (even the beginner series).
