Rob Bovey & Stephen Bullen 
Excel 2002 VBA 
Programmers Reference

What is this book about?

VBA is the programming language for the Microsoft Office suite
and many other applications. VBA gives you complete control of
Excel, allowing you to do anything from automating Excel tasks to
developing full applications, using Excel as the development
environment.

Excel 2002 is an important upgrade to the Office suite
spreadsheet program. It shows Microsoft’s commitment to moving
Office to be a web-enabled productivity tool, a rich client for
working with web-based data, with new features such as Smart Tags
and XML support.

Based on the successful content and format of Excel 2000 VBA
Programmer’s Reference, this new edition has been fully updated
for Excel 2002. The authors are all Excel MVPs, involved daily in
supporting the Excel VBA programmer community.

What does this book cover?

The first part of the book introduces Excel and VBA, including a
VBA primer. The second part offers thematic, succinct, and
practical discussions of the features available to Excel VBA
programmers, with real-world examples answering frequently asked
questions. The third and final part is a complete reference to the
Excel, VBE, and Common Office Object Models.

Here are just a few of the things you’ll learn in this
edition:

* The entire Excel Object Model and the Common Office Object
Model

* Working with Pivot Tables

* Accessing and manipulating data sources from Excel with
ADO

* Programming the Visual Basic Editor (VBE)

* New features in Excel 2002, Smart Tags, XML, and the Web

* Expanded references for Excel versions 97, 2000, and 2002

Who is this book for?

This book not only caters for beginner- and intermediate-level
programmers with its introductory coverage of VBA and Excel, but
also provides advanced information for experienced Excel developers
in later chapters and the reference.
