Default What is the best VBA book out there for..

ok maybe i was rash...
so i had a better look....

Compa
a printed book, of RECOGNIZED pedigree (Stephen Bullen/Ken Gets/John
Walkenbach) 1000-1200 pages at $40.

To:
a pdf of 'unknown pedigree' ( Mr.Rubin is a self proclaimed authority,
his claim to fame consists of owning exceltip.com which is just a
commercial web interface to a.o this newsgroup)

400 at a5 papersize (half of a4), half the pages is screendumps.
The text of 1 ENTIRE PAGE:

<==

In this example, the sheet is divided into two parts: an area
where movement is allowed (the Scroll Area), and an area
where movement is restricted (that is, a protected area),
without protecting the sheet.
Set the Scroll Area range in the Properties dialog
box:
1. Click the Properties icon (see Tip #108).
OR
From the Control Toolbox toolbar, click the
Properties icon.
2. In the Scroll Area text box, type the scroll area
range, or type the defined Name for the range (this
is flexible, if you plan to add more data to the
range, it is better to use a defined Name).
3. To cancel the Scroll Area restricted range, clear
the Scroll Area text box.
Note: You cannot add two Scroll Areas to the Scroll Area
text box.

==

And i can't say that $15 is OVERpriced?
hmmm

if you want to buy it... be my guest!

imho $15 for a simple PDF is ridiculously expensive.


I had a quick look at the link to this ebook in pdf
format. Appears to include 300+ topics in 400+ pages (but
not vba as asked by the OP).

I wonder if you might have been a bit quick to appraise
its value. On the assumption it lives up to description
$15 does not seem excessive.

(I have no connection of any kind with the author.)

$40 will buy you a decent book:

excel power programming with vba [walkenbach]
vba developers handbook (getz)
vba programmers reference (bullen)

It's like 15 bucks for the PDF version. I'm considering getting it
myself.
