Developing Microsoft Excel 5 Solutions

The Authoritative Guide to Development Strategies Using the Microsoft Excel
5 Object Model and Visual Basic-for Applications

Spreadsheet users have a powerful development tool right at their
fingertips in Microsoft Excel. DEVELOPING MICROSOFT EXCEL S SOLUTIONS,
from Microsoft Press, teaches IS/MIS professionals and solution developers
how to build sophisticated, elegant--even mission-critical--applications
with Microsoft Excel.

Excel expert Eric Wells has written the first full discussion on creating
industrial-strength business applications for the Windows operating system
and the Macintosh using the Microsoft Excel object model and Visual Basic
for Applications. These applications turn raw data into meaningful, useful
information in a way that could previously be done only by using a
high-end development tool such as C or COBOL. Developers can save time and
money because they can quickly and efficiently build, maintain, and update
applications within Microsoft Excel, using easy-to-write Visual Basic for
Applications macros and the more than 125 advanced data analysis objects
included in Microsoft Excel. And because Microsoft Excel supports OLE,
readers can integrate a variety of objects from other applications--such
as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Access--into their applications.

Eric Wells a former member of the Microsoft Excel technical team--delivers
inside strategies, tips, and tricks not available anywhere else. After an
overview of the Microsoft Excel Object model and Visual Basic for
Applications features, readers learn how to:

* Develop information systems and design custom interfaces
* Take advantage of the powerful database access capabilities
  in Microsoft Excel to import/export data from external databases
  with ODBC
* Develop custom applications with Microsoft Office and other
  products that support OLE
* Enhance the performance of their applications
* Distribute their applications

The companion disk contains sample Visual Basic for Applications macros
used to create and run all of the applications covered in the book.

For readers who know the Visual Basic programming system and are familiar
with Microsoft Excel, DEVELOPING MICROSOFT EXCEL 5 SOLUTIONS is the only
reference needed to start creating professional-quality data access and
decision making tools in Microsoft Excel right away.

Eric Wells has been with Microsoft Corporation since 1992 and directed the

Applications at numerous conferences throughout the United States and
