Use VBA to accomplish real-world, professional tasks. Incorporating four hands-on projects, Microsoft VBA Professional Projects is your key to unlocking the power of Visual Basic for Applications. Each project focuses on a specific concept and is based on a real-world situation. You will be able to use the skills that you develop throughout the book to modify the projects as needed to fit your professional needs.
