I haven't read this book yet, so it's strange to be asked to give a description of it. But from what I can tell the book is an introduction to Visual Basic 6, (and VBA), programming that will include the construction of a complete database in MS Access using VB 6 which when used inside the development environment of Microsoft Excel, Access, Word, PowerPoint or Outlook, is referred to as VBA, Visual Basic for Applications. VBA Is a little different from VB in that it is entirely dependent upon the object model of the MS Office application, it resides in.
