2 out of 5 starsNot too satisfied, 2008-12-16
I purchased Excel VBA Programming for Dummies, since I am a fan of the series and own many of the Dummies books on other topics. The book has the familiar format and is a decent introduction, but it is extremely basic and difficult to use a reference.

4 out of 5 starsExcellent Book, 2008-10-13
I purchased this book as an assist to me - to build upon the knowledge that I have already, regarding Macros and VBA. I know some VB6, and am translating that knowledge through this book. I don't think that I am alone in asserting that any type of "Dummies" book provides good insight/information to those who may even have some existing knowledge of the topic. I will probably purchase another more intermediate book for VBA programming, to extend the experience. The purchase came very quickly as Amazon always does !

1 out of 5 starsDoesn't work, 2008-07-11
The book is poorly written and poorly organized. The book covers very similar types of processes using different syntax without explaining why it used different VB code, so one wonders what why it uses one type of code here and another type of code there. Literally, the book has codes which, when I type verbatim, generates errors. Thoroughly frustrating book. Breezing and useless.

5 out of 5 starsExactly what I needed, 2008-05-12
This book is exactly what I needed. I know several program languages so I just needed a good introduction to syntax and the basic functions. This was what I needed. Thanks.

5 out of 5 starsAnother great JWalk offering, 2008-03-15
I've purchased other JWalk products in the past and this is another in a line of great JWalk Excel,Access, VBA offerings. This is a very good addition for the user who is not comfy with VBA for Excel. Get this if your delving into Excel VBA for the first time.
