Icons Used in This Book
The tips in this book are timesaving techniques or pointers to resources that
you should try in order to get the maximum benefit from VBA.
I don’t want to sound like an angry parent or some kind of maniac, but you
should avoid doing anything marked with a Warning icon. Otherwise, you
could find that your program melts down and takes your data with it.
Whenever you see this icon, think advanced tip or technique. Skip these bits
of information whenever you like.
This material usually contains an essential process or bit of material that you
must know to write VBA programs successfully.
You’ll see this icon whenever the book has Web content to present — the
source code and Bonus Chapters that come with this book. You’ll definitely
want to download the Web content to get the most from this book and reduce
the work required to use the book.
This icon helps you locate features that Microsoft has added to VBA as part of
Office 2007. Use this icon to look for upgrade issues as well. Anyone who has
existing VBA applications that they want to upgrade should look for this icon.
Where to Go from Here
It’s time to start your VBA adventure! I recommend that anyone who has only
a passing knowledge of VBA go right to Chapter 1. This chapter contains
essential, get-started information that you need to write your first program.
Those who already know VBA might want to skip to Part IV to sink their teeth
into some complex examples. You might want to check out the resources in
Part V if you find your current VBA experience lacking. The VBA refresher
course begins in Part II and ends in Part III. Start with the part that best suits
your needs.
