A good reference book for Visual Basic

[dionicia]

Hi.

I need to find a reference book to keep at my desk at work for Visual Basic.

Sometimes I may not be able to search for a specific code online and I was hoping to have a reference book I can turn to for direction.

I found so far Holy Macro! It's 2500 Excel VBA Examples: Every Snippet of Excel VBA Code you'll Ever Need and it looks promising.

Does anyone have any other reference books they can recommend?

I appreciate it.

Thank you.

i recommend any book that looks professional in nature. this does NOT include books that have these phrases (or any derivation thereof) on the front cover:

*Learn WHATEVER in 30 minutes.
*ANYTHING for dummies (this is not cool - if you're a dummy, the book is not going to help!)
*Beginner's Guide to...
*(Any title that is followed by more than one exclamation point, or ANY for that matter.)
*Teach Yourself...
*"Holy Macro! It's 2500 Excel VBA Examples: Every Snippet of Excel VBA Code you'll Ever Need" <---I'm sorry, but there is more snippets that you'll need in your career than you'll find in this nifty little book.
*How to...


Titles that I WOULD look for:

*VBA (Complete) Reference
*Guide to VBA programming
*VB (then version number)
*VB(A) Handbooks

AND MAKE SURE THE SHORT LIST THAT I MENTIONED ABOVE ARE THICK. I HAVE VERY GOOD PROGRAMMING BOOKS, AND MOST OF THEM ARE THOUSANDS OF PAGES LONG, NOT HUNDREDS.

Thank you for the direction.

This will come in very handy.

The main reason I was looking for reference material is I need to build code into a form I created on Excel. A user will enter information which will be sent to a range of cells in a spreadsheet or directly to the Access table. I would use Access for the form, but Sharepoint doesn't exactly like Access and I cant use Sharepoint directly as just about everyone who would be using the form has read-only access. I also wanted to see if I could enter an input mask on the Excel Form for the date.

It feels like a tall order so I'm trying to find the best way to approach it.

Thanks again.
