VBA book recommendations

Would anyone have a recommendation on the best intro book for VBA ? I'm off to try and buy something to start learning how to write VBA and just wondering if there's an accepted "best book" available...

many thanks

Very good question, Microsoft PRESS as tehy call their books are good if not the best to some, i have a few from years back and pick up new as i see them, just to see their way. VBA is so complex it a taste thing and correct programming will follw a standard, i program in a less that professional manor, i call all my variables London tows like BRIXTON or PECKHAM or Elephant and Castle and so on, why no reason i taught myself much and picked up the rest as i went along.

This board will teach you so much its silly and more you do the more you learn, and the bonus is yiu can ask as silly questions as you like and people will alwys try to help so you experiance grows, more seriouse you get then you can answer people who need help and you know the answer. Al about helping each other, work back and try to solve the questions then see what some people have said, see if your right.

Some guys are Gurus, try find Ivan F Mola, David Hawley, Deamon, Tom, Mark W,
