If you want it for Excel, why buy VB. Excel ships with VBA, which is Visual

Then get a book. There are 3 stand-out books IMO

VBA For Dummies by John Walkenbach,
Power Programming With VBA by JW (again)
Excel VBA Programmer's Reference by John Green, Stephen Bullen & Rob Bovey
et al.

BTW, they will have an edition such as 2002, XP, 2003 in the title as well.
Avoid the Excel VBA Programmer's Reference 2003, go for the 2002 version as
I understand that the update has lost a lot

I need to learn VB for EXCEL yesterday! Someone told me I should just buy
Visual Basic 6.0 and learn by doing but I don't trust him. Is that the
best
way to learn VB for EXCEL or is there some better way?
