Highly Recommended for those that need to learn this fast!

This book is great, especially if you're familiar with previous versions of VBA. If you're new to VBA, it's still a good book but may take you a little longer to really get the most out of it.
Personally, it got me up to speed within 24-36 hours. I highly recommend it. The topics cover a wide range, the examples are excellent and it's written very well.
