 Excellent Book November 19, 2009
Developer Guy (UK)
I'm not really a fan of Mr Walenbach in general. For example whilst reading his previous 2003 VBA book there is a smell of arrogance with his off the cuff remark of:
'Using the task pane to display help topics is new to Excel 2003.The Help information appears in a separate window.This means, of course, that using Help now requires two windows. My opinion is that the person who thought of this "new" method should be fired.'
I'm not in the habbit of condemming people for their work and personally frown upon such things. I've come across a lot worse than that idea in my travels.... Maybe the author should concentrate soley on the book content we can benefit from.
Anyway, that been said, the actual content of that book was excellent and imo well worth the cost.
This book stands side by side with the earlier version in terms of quality. I prefer the layout of this new book as well.
Its compact with good tips and gotchas. Some of the information is repeated, but I think you have to expect that tbh.
Its all easily digestable and not hard to follow.
Definitely worth a purchase if you are a serious VBA developer or need a strong reference book.
Great VBA book! October 17, 2009

Actually, I wanted to buy a book that's comprehensive that I could use it to know the secrets of VBA programming in Excel. I want to make essential spreadsheets to help me in my work. Skimming the book contents, I could say that I this book will help me getting my objectives and accomplish my task. But I couldn't judge the book correctly before reading most of it; I've just started reading it.
Indispensable Excel/VBA 2007 Resource July 9, 2009

I have projects that need potential productivity boosts that can only be achieve in Excel using VBA. Unfortunately, I have found Excel/VBA 2007 (and previous versions also) to be very deficient often negating a substantial percentage of potential productivity gains. Most of these shortcomings result from poor and "hard-to-find" documentation. Additionally, some features do not work as intended.
Mr. Walkenbach has done a superb job in his Excel/VBA book by covering many of the shortcomings of Microsoft. I have found Microsoft's documentation to be brief (when found and applicable) and often not providing needed information. General web searches have proved more productive than search of Microsoft's knowledge base [...].
His book has excellent information on sending emails from Excel/VBA and developing interactive forms and charts using VBA. I am not sure I would have been able to complete my projects without his book(s). And he has responded to my emails to him for clarifications on a few topics. I have completed all projects attempted so far and that was not so prior to using his books.
However, potential Excel/VBA users should be warned that the object programming requirements are very exacting and even Mr. Walkenbach's book can only help put you on a workable path and substantially speed your work. We can only hope that Microsoft eventually improves.

I ordered the book on regular mail to be delivered in Brazil.Time was not an issue to me. I received the book 3 weeks after I placed the order.
The book was used and surprisingly almost as a new one would look like.
I am still at the beginning of the book, but it is actually more than I expected. You read it like a novel!!! You can easily read a chapter without having to write the codes on the computer, because John Walkenback makes it easy to read!
Nonetheless, I am still at the beginning (page 180 from 1000).
So again, great book, great service! Thank you!
