I was a little disappointed by the lack of clarity and scope. I believe the audience it was intended for was those very new to programming, and I think it does that well. I use it here and there as a desk reference for VBA. It is not completely accurate on some nuances, like the performance difference between the untyped "Left" vs the strongly-typed "Left$" functions. Lomax's "VBA in a Nutshell" is far superior as a VBA reference, if you don't care about the VB6 IDE.
