I completed an excel  VBA class just a short time ago at the Science
Museum of Minnesota. As part of the fee, we received a book
called "Excel 2003 VBA - Programmer's Reference", by Paul T Kimmel &
John Green (plus a host of others). Wiley Publishing did the book.
It is 1144 pages, and the price on the back says $39.99. I'm a real
rookie at VBA, but I am learning as I go. The book  is a big help.
I am currently working on code that will take an excel database,
extract variable date ranges and put them in a pivot table. I'm
stumbling badly so far, butthe book is giving me different things  to
try.
