Using Visual Basic for Applications 5 (Using ... (Que))

Macro programming is old hat; new applications including Microsoft's Office 97 suite use full-blown programming languages to automate their behavior. In Special Edition Using Visual BASIC for Application 5, you'll find out how to control the behavior of VBA-enabled applications, enable them to exchange information with each other, and adapt them to build self-contained vertical-market solutions. Specific chapters cover the object models of Excel, Word, and other Microsoft applications; there's even a section on calling the Win32 application programming interface and invoking registry calls. The chapters are written by a variety of authors, which sometimes disrupts the book's flow if you read them in sequence, but the information between the covers make it a valuable desk reference for VBA 5 programmers.
