Office XP Development with VBA

Building on Office XP's foundation, you can construct powerful custom applications far more quickly than if you built them from scratch. In this book, expert developer and consultant Peter G. Aitken shows exactly how to leverage the power of Microsoft Office XP in custom application development. Whether you're an experienced developer or a business professional with a problem that needs solving, Aitken will show you how to do it with Office-step by step. Aitken begins by reviewing each key Office XP application-Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, FrontPage, and Outlook-and the shared components accessible to all of them. You'll discover powerful opportunities for extending and automating Office, and for using Office XP to improve collaboration throughout your organization. Then, one step at a time, Aitken teaches the key VBA skills you'll need to achieve your goals. Office XP Development with VBA then walks you through the construction of four real-world Office applications, emphasizing Office XP's value in real-world collaboration on the Web and corporate intranets. For both experienced developers and Office power users-no Office or VBA experience necessary!
