Very detailed resource, 2008-10-22
I used to write macros by cutting and pasting recorded macros. Many lines of cods made my macros unreadable to others. After using this book with its clear examples I understand what I did wrong in the past and how I can write efficient code in the future. This book is very usefull because of its structure, every chapter is a compleet book.

Wonderful Excel Book, 2008-06-16
This book is...I can't find the words. It has helped me tremendously. I have gone further with Excel then I ever dreamed I could on my own. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to get more use out of their spreadsheets.

Informative, but Difficult to Find Information at Times, 2008-04-17
While I had used this for a course in VBA, and noted that it was an extremely concise text, I found it near useless when I was working on my assignments. This book had the information in it, but oftentimes, I simply could not find this information quickly (if at all), and instead Googled much of my information.

On a positive note, this is a well-written book (note: not well-indexed), and therefore useful if you're learning VBA and exploring each chapter one-at-a-time. If you're looking strictly for a reference book for VBA, however, I would strongly advise against getting this particular text.

Also, this text is not written for beginners (a point that the author makes clear), even though some of the material in this book could only be for beginners (for example, the introductory VBA material).

Strongly recommend Excel 2003 Power Programming, 2008-03-23
Excellent book for anyone looking to quickly get up and programming VBA in Excel. Don't have to be familiar specifically with Visual Basic but a reasonable knowledge of programming a help. Would have given it 5 stars if it had a thorough reference section on VBA.

Excel 2003 PPVBA, 2008-02-15
Book was helpful in the setup of various 'maintenance' routines. It gave me a fresh look at the use of properties, allowing me to streamline the coding. Unfortunately, company directives have us converting the work to 'active server pages' with a SQL 2005 database server. Since the source data is Oracle, I have been working on DB to DB utilities.
