A Real Time Saver

I purchased this book when started a project that involved using Excel as the platform for an application. I wanted a reference of best practices as a template for the development. I was able to adapt the PETRAS source code for my project and it saved me weeks of programming. It has convinced me of the viability of Excel for custom applictions and it has advanced my knowledge of class modules, interfaces, events, and encapsulation that will be helpful as I get deeper into applying .NET technologies. The text and examples for the standard use of defined names, generic command bar module, user interface classes, centralized error handling, disconnected recordsets, etc. have addressed most issues that have arisen. I highly recommend this book.
