Sorely disappointed in this book (disappointed enough to write my first review!). I had hoped, expected, that as an O'Reilly book I could trust it as I have done many times in the based with Unix books, SED, AWK, etc. The title says "Writing Excel Macros" and I expected how to examples, step-by-step process, building actual macros from start to finish. Yet chapter after chapter is just more detail on Excel objects, without anything that puts this information into useful context. If anything, the title should be "Reference book for Excel Objects" and it would have hit the mark. I just wasted $40.
