Title: Introductory but out of date
Review: This book is at a very beginning level, telling you how to use the macro recorder,defining a variable ("where programs store values"), defining what "calling" a procedure means etc. If you are at this beginning level, the book is excellent EXCEPT it is out of date. For example, the menu arrangement described in this book for inserting a module sheet is different if you use Excel '97. The dialog sheet is used here for designing dialog boxes, a method replaced with UserForms in Excel '97. So although intended to be a very handholding approach, for users of Excel '97 it is no longer so straigtforward. Probably John Walkenbach's "Microsoft Excel 2000 Power Programming" is more useful, but unfortunately at a more advanced level.
Is the review positive or negative?
