Recommend a good book for vba for a beginner
I was going to post my thoughts on this yesterday but
never got around to it. Since someone else mentioned it I'll do it now. I am currently on page 353 of John Walkenbach's "Excel 2000 Power Programming with VBA". Unless the 2002 book is written differently, I would not recommend it for absolute beginners. The 2000 book is NOT for beginners, and John states this on page X of the preface. At half way through the book as a beginner myself I would agree. He recommends the Dummies book and the Excel 2000 bible (written by John himself). Hope this helps.

If one has never programmed, that may be true. If one has programmed in
some other language, it is certainly appropriate for a "beginner/absolute beginner" to Excel VBA. I guess it depends on what you mean by beginner/absolute beginner. If one is not familiar with Excel as an application, that would certainly be recommended before trying to program it. If one is looking for a tutorial, then I would recommend Reed Jacobsens step by step books on Excel VBA from MS press http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...166174-7606257 My personal experience was with the book for version 5, but I assume they are still suitable. The Excel 2000 book had a different style name: Microsoft Excel 2000 Visual Basic for Applications: Fundamentals Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Mike Krumel" wrote in message ...
