Recommend a Reference Book(s)

[schweer]

I'd like to learn VBA for use in both Excel (majority) and Access (a little). I'm familiar with SQL, took C++/C# a couple years back, and am currently learning SAS, so I don't need a 'Teach yourself in 24 hours' or 'Weekend Crash Course' type.

Reference book series that I currently have that I like the layout of:
'The Complete Reference: Access 2000' by Virginia Andersen (Osbourne press)
'A Programmers Guide to C#: Developers Edition'

What would you all recommend as good or Industry Standard reference books out there?

List multiple if you can.

Thanks for your help. This community rocks.

Access Developers' Handbook 2002 and VB & VBA In A Nutshell.

As for Excel, the only one I've got is Excel 2002 Formulas. It's alright.

I would check out www.wrox.com --- I only got one Programmer's Reference book from them, but I like it a lot. I'm referring you to them because I'm not really a book person. I mainly stick to the internet.

Whenever I have a question --- I have the forum and I have Google, and seconds later; bam... problem solved. But WROX puts out good books.

I like Wrox books too although I only buy their internet books such as PHP and CSS.

Have to give a thumbs up for Wrox books as well, I've always liked their writing style.

Even better, they allow you to download all the source code for free. If you want a very nice Diary or Cellphone database download here: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-0764559036,descCd-download_code.html ,,,well worth a look

O'Reilly makes some good Internet books as well.

But I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who likes wrox.
