An excellent extension of the available Microsoft help docs for anyone using VBA for Office automation. Largely a reference index, but there are a few chapters of conceptual explanation. Strictly covers the VBA language, not the VB6 IDE or any particular Office program's automation library. This much-needed specialization of scope is what makes this book so valuable for anyone using VBA; many peer books focus strictly on Excel or Word, or VB6 development at large.

This is the essential reference for VB and VBA programming. Friends don't let friends develop or maintain VB(A) code without it.

Useful if VB is your poison.
