Over the last three or four months, in addition to my normal (and large) amount
of side projects (computer- and music-related), I spent whatever ???free??? time I had putting
together this volume. Their patience is truly appreciated and made a busy period of my life
pass with ease.
I would like to acknowledge my technical reviewer Mark Etwaru. Mark is a very talented
developer and project manager in his own right, and his input was invaluable in putting this
book together. Thanks again Mark for a job well done!
I would like to thank Dilshan Jesook for getting me started with the .NET examples in this
book. I have yet to find a technology that he is not able to implement in short order.
I would also like to thank Mor Hezi and Chris Bryant at Microsoft for taking the time to talk
to me about Excel 2007 and helping me understand Microsoft??™s vision for the Office product.
Thanks to all at Apress for giving me this opportunity and for guiding me through a process
that is very complex. As a first-time author, I did not know what to expect, and the folks
at Apress were so very understanding and helpful at all times.
And finally, I would like to acknowledge the readers of this book. Thank you for purchasing
it and I hope this book helps you understand the power of VBA in Microsoft Excel 2007.

Introduction
Did you ever wonder whether there is more to Excel than data displayed in rows and columns
or pretty charts? If you want to learn how to bring data into your Excel 2007 projects, or
learn to work with XML, or see how object-oriented programming can be used in Excel 2007,
this book will provide you with that information.
