Visual Basic Book

[lj]

I'm thinking of purchasing a visual basic book to use as a reference.
I use VB often and have a pretty good basic understanding but would
like to get something to use as a reference for more complicated issues
I come accross. Any suggestions on a good book?

Debra Dalgleish has a good list of books at her site.

John Walkenbach also wrote Excel VBA Programming for Dummies

I have both the Dummies and the Power Programming.

I find the Dummies covers most of the stuff I need and is more
accessible - if I need to look something up I generally just use the
Dummies book. The Power Programming generally sits on the shelf.

If you have a good basic understanding, I would recommend The Excel 2002
