VB & VBA in a Nutshell: The Language (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))
The online documentation of VB/VBA language components seems to follow the 80/20 rule: the basic facts that you need to use a language statement are provided in the documentation. But the additional 20 percent that you need to use it effectively or to apply it to special cases is conspicuously absent. To a professional VB/VBA programmer, though, this missing 20 percent of the language's documentation isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. And inVB & VBA in a Nutshell: The Language, it finally is available.The bulk of the book consists of an alphabetical reference to the statements, procedures, and functions of the VB/VBA language. Each entry has a standardized listing containing the following information:
Its syntax, using standard code conventions
Differences in the operation of the keyword in a macro environment (e.g., in Office) and in Visual Basic, if there are any
A list of arguments accepted by the function or procedure, if any
A description of the data type returned by a function
The finer points of a keyword's usage that are often omitted from or blurred over by the documentation
Tips and gotchas that include undocumented behaviors and practical applications for particular language elements -- a section particularly invaluable for diagnosing or avoiding potential programming problems
A brief, nonobvious example that illustrates the use of the keyword
Also included in VB & VBA in a Nutshell: The Language is a brief overview of the VB/VBA language, including:
Basic VBA programming concepts, such as its data types and its support for variables, constants, and arrays
