Title: my worst o'reilly experience
Product review: i bought steve roman's writing excel macros, but i am extremely disappointed. i purchased the book just on the merits of the publisher, since the best programming books i have are from o'reilly. the author does not have a full grasp of the vba, which he admits on several occasions, in the book. not only that, the book seems to merely flush out the excel object model straight from his little object browser utility. the book failed miserably for my purpose, due to lack of codes to demonstrate the syntax and usage patterns. the book pounded upon the fact that a chart can have multiple chart types embedded in one, yet i am still struggling how to add chartgroups within a chartobject, let alone tweak the cosmetic appearances of individual chartgroup. obviously this is not my virst vb book or vba book, and i have been coding for living for many years. i feel absolutely schwindled in steve roman's gimmick to sell his utility
