I am a self-taught VBA programmer with moderate to good understanding of VBA and was looking for a book to take me to the next skill level. Most books I have bought so far (about 5!) have been relatively hopeless, being either too basic or far too technical.
However, John Walkenbach's book is in a league of its own. It starts off simply enough but rapidly and effortlessly works up to more complex ideas and scripts. He provides you with lots of handy tips and tricks and ensures you have a good grounding in each topic before advancing. His language is simple and easy to read with lots of working examples and a wide array of topics.
This book is really excellent and I can HIGHLY recommend it for a user of almost any skill level. I also highly recommend his book on Excel 2003 Formulas. In combination these two books will help you comfortably conquer Excel.

I am a pretty experienced Access developer but recently needed to use excel for many of the reports and forms. The info on the excel object model, charts and pivot tables was the main reason I bought the book and this was all well laid out and easy to follow.What really impressed me was the info on interacting with other Aps and the API / Registry; more comprehensive than many other MS Office development book I have seen. On the negative side the info on ADO and Class modules was too sketchy for beginners and too basic for those with Access experience to be useful and would be better ignored

I like this book it have a lot of exampels, but what they totaly forgoten is to build a good Index on where to find diffrent subjects in the book. One have to choose the chapter more likely to contain the information one is searching for and go throug it.
