 Good Reference for Excel VBA Developers November 6, 2007
"Excel 2002 VBA Programmer's Reference" is a good reference for those who write code in Excel VBA. To those familiar with Microsoft Excel, but unfamiliar with the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) programming environment, this book should serve as a good way to learn how to automate tasks and extend the utility of Excel.
Most appropriate for intermediate- to advanced-users, this book still offers a primer in Excel VBA for those new to VBA. Note that this is a large book (approximately 1,000 pages) and it contains a printed version of the Excel 2002 Object Model, which can prove useful to those who prefer paper-based, as opposed to screen-based, reference information.
Overall, a very good reference book.

The best aspect of this book is it's section on ADO, but there is little depth into the topic. How frustrating to find something so powerful and so undocumented, only to see the end of the chapter so quickly.
I suppose I do not see why 400 pages was devoted to the Excel object model. I do not use the section, but instead search within the VBE for information and arguments I need.
The book is cheap. The binding broke in 2 places.
If you are reading this review, buy this book now. December 3, 2003

If you are interested enough to read this review, then buy this book. Now. I have done quite a bit of programming ... The only problem was, I had never programmed VBA/Excel and was having a very rough time getting started. I bought "Excel 2002 VBA Programmer's Reference". I sat down and started reading Chapter 2. Before long, I was so excited that I was firing up my laptop. Four hours after I started reading the book, I had a prototype up and running. This book is amazing. Chapter 2 gave me more useful information than I sometimes get from an entire book. ... The authors are simply bursting with knowledge and give it freely. Ideas are expressed clearly and succinctly. Knowledge is well-organized and easy to find. Whether you want to approach the topic methodically or flip through looking for gems, you will find what you want here. Getting the object model is a great bonus. I'm going to enjoy spending a few days going through this one.

The book is adressed both to beginners and intermediate users, not advanced ones though. It covers everything, however there were many occasions where I wanted more information. This is not to say the book is not a great value for money. After all, a complete vba book would probably need to have a couple of thousand pages, whereas with this book you can start programming even having read only chapter 2. If money is not an issue, you also need to buy Walkenbach's vba book too.I found it easy to navigate through it, so I didn't think indexing was such a great problem as commented before me. The authors don't say too little or too much and they write very clear. The reason I didn't put 5 stars (if I had the option I would put 4.5 starts) was because I didn't like the second part of it, which is half the book and which mostly presents basic information.
Great book! July 23, 2003

It's a great book! It actually consists of two parts: a brief but very useful VBA overview with all popular tricks and hints in the beginning and a deep and coplete reference at the end. Normally you need to buy two separate books to get this coverage. This book can get you started in a few hours and answer virtually all your questions going forward. Really, really good!
