This book changed everything and from now on I will be reading reviews from a variety of sources before spending another penny on O'Reilly books.

The book needs a decent project that builds up throughout and the examples to provide both simple and complex demonstrations of the language and object model. Most of the examples in the book were exactly what i can find by pressing F1!

It doesn't even cover the entire object model? Why? Another 50 pages and the entire Excel object model could have been fully documented.

All in all, very let down by a publisher that once meant an instant purchse for me.
