Does anyone have any recommendations on books about using the Windows API in
Excel or Microsoft Office?

I have Dan Appleman's "Programmer's Guide To The Win32 API". It
is for VB, not specifically VBA or Excel or Office. However, most
all of what's in the book could be used in VBA.

The general recommendation is to buy one of Dan Appleman's books on the
Windows API. The code is the same from VBA as it would be from VB.

All the information on the Windows API functions/structs/etc can be found
he

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en..._reference.asp

This should give you a good start. Once you find the function name you
want, you can google that name to find examples. Personally, I've found
that I don't need to reference API books in order to interact with the
Windows API - the web is full of examples and resources for most things
you'd want to do.
