    Highly Recommended for those that need to learn this fast!

    This book is great, especially if you're familiar with previous versions of VBA. If you're new to VBA, it's still a good book but may take you a little longer to really get the most out of it.
    Personally, it got me up to speed within 24-36 hours. I highly recommend it. The topics cover a wide range, the examples are excellent and it's written very well.

    Highly recommended

    This is the best book I've found for trying to make sense out of VBA. Clear, and good examples.
