The PC industry never rose to that level of quality. That said, John Walkenbach's "Power Programming with VBA" is the best I have found. Its organization leaves much to be desired, and it is poorly indexed, IMHO. But it does contain a lot of good information, though you might never find it again after you have read past it ;-). BTW, I see that Walkenbach has written a "For Dummies" book: "Excel VBA Programming for Dummies". I have never seen that book. But generally, the "For Dummies" series is a good starting point because usually, only the basic and essential information is presented in a by-example manner. Be sure to look at both books -- really any book -- at a brick-and-mortar store before purchasing. If it's not on the shelf, Barnes & Noble will order "any" book for a look-see. (Which is probably why B&N is going bankrupt. ;-) |
