Default Where do you learn this stuff

Ok..maybe a bit of venting here, as you guys are the BEST. I guess this is
more aimed at our friends at MS: WHERE IN THE HECK TO YOU LEARN THIS STUFF!

By this I mean, without these newsgroups, how could anyone very do learning
by research? Example:

I see a bit of code like:
FinalValue=WSM.Range("A65535").End(xlUp).Row

Now most of you great folks out there, I am sure, know EXACTLY what
".End(xlUp).row does, but how does a noob reseach and learn such a thing. It
is definitely not in the help, unless you know what it can be attached to
(like a range method or whatever), but even then, the help assume you know
too much already.

Help me out: where is a great book that breaks these things down so I can
know what is "possible" (not just what you all show me...and for which I
still often do not comprehend). I hate doing "what I see." I would rather
see an example, learn how it works, and then, maybe, stores some bits of
understanding my brain, for future reference.

Suggestions?

(ok..end of rant). As always, I could not survive without you all. This
newsgroup is the best "reference site" to help with excel, or any MS VBA app,
but should it be?

thanks, all,
Patk
