Microsoft Office continues to "grow up" as a productivity and development platform, so that it is now one of the most powerful such platforms on the market for business applications. It consists of hundreds of programmable objects developers can use to create powerful custom applications -- far more quickly than building them from scratch. Peter Aitken begins by reviewing Microsoft Office 2000's applications, the components developers can use, and the basics of development with Office components. Next, he shows how to master the fundamentals of VBA, the programming language that provides the "glue" needed to build custom Office solutions. He reviews the components associated with Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, FrontPage, and Outlook -- and the Shared Components accessible to all of them. And, finally, he walks the developer through the construction of four real-world Office applications, with an emphasis on using the power of Office on the Web and corporate intranets.
