5.0 out of 5 stars A must have addition for any MS Office resource library
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2011
Verified Purchase
I will admit, I did not think of utilizing VBA within MS Outlook. I have been using MS Excel for years and use VBA regularly. I have used VBA within MS Excel to send emails so I had a basic knowledge of using VBA for email.
With this book I was able to really open my mind and figured out what I have been missing. I have been using MS Outlook for over 10 yrs and I wish I would have found a resource like this years ago.
I got this book to help me in a project where I was asked to evaluate how our sales reps were using MS Outlook and if we could do anything to improve how we use the program. With this I was able to write some VBA to get creative and automate some features to help reduce the amount of time our sales reps use on email along with add utilization of the other functions within MS Outlook.
This is a must have addition for any MS Office resource library in your office or home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book

As the title says, this book is not for newbies. It covered a lot of different topics. It was hit or miss on the specific application I was writing, but no book will ever hit that 100%.

The only issue I have is the toggling back and forth between VBA and the less content rich VBScript. The two systems are so close to each other, it sometimes was confusing which code block I was reading.

Suggestion, for VBA examples, use the color coding that comes with the VBA editor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Resource for the Outlook Developer
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2021

This is my go-to reference for VBA applied to Outlook. I used the first edition for years. This one is essential for all Outlook versions using the ribbon.

My sense is that Outlook started before the other Office applications. It’s on its own Darwinian path of evolution. It’s quirky and you need help to figure it out. This book provides that help.

If you use VBA with Outlook you'll end up relying on this reference and wish you’d purchased it years ago. Buy it NOW.

1.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Edition Has Major Problem - Publisher Too
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2020
Verified Purchase
I liked the book and the content but in the Kindle edition the code samples are in such an impossibly small font that they are unreadable. All is not lost, however... just go to the website cited in the last section of the book: "Please click here (or go to ebooks.elsevier.com) to request an activation code and registration instructions in order to gain access to the web version."

Unfortunately, that is not possible. On attempting to access that site, I was hit by a barrage of challenges by Elsevier, the publisher. They wanted to know where I bought their book, and when told that I bought it at Amazon, they requested the order number. After researching that on Amazon and supplying the number, they wanted to know the ISBN number from the Copyright page of the book. I supplied that and was told that it was an invalid ISBN. Thinking that I may have entered it incorrectly, I rechecked the number and entered it again. Same story. "Invalid ISBN." I tried this a third time with no luck, and almost gave up on the prospect of being able to access the book online.

I say "almost" because I had an ace-in-the-hole -- I would email the publisher, tell them my story, and ask for their help in getting the online book. That was the theory, anyway. It has been 8 days since I sent my email and I still haven't received a reply from Elsevier.

It's a shame that this technical snafu has so totally ruined my experience with this book. The author, Sue Mosher, has done a splendid job of explaining the concepts and solving the problems a newbie VBA developer is bound to encounter. But her publisher ruined her Kindle book by making the code samples unreadable and shirking their implied responsibility to allow online access to the book and its code samples.

I do not recommend the Kindle edition of this book. In fact, I highly advise against it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Good if You Stay On Track
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2009

I needed to parse tables in a received Outlook email (HTML code), get information from an Excel spreadsheet based on what I found in the received Outlook email, and use what I found to create a new Outlook email to be sent to someone else. "Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming" helped me with about 50-60% of what I needed to do. I had to use Visual Basic and the Visual Basic parts of "Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming" helped steer me in the right direction.

Using Visual Basic with the Microsoft Suite of Programs appears to be a black art. Either you know it or you don't. "Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming" outlines how to do a number of very specific things. If that is what you need to do, then you will be OK. Once you try to do something other than what is shown in the book, you will pretty much be on your own.

First impression is that all the diagrams in the book are unusable due to print problems. The originals were colour (as in Amazon "look inside") but the print is B&W and makes all the forms blurred and illegible!

I'm sure the text is fine but diagrams are equally important to help with understanding.
