Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005 Reviews

I have programmed Excel in Visual Basic, built Windows applications using Borland c++ builder, and written many thousands of lines of c and c++ under Windows and Linux, and never had as much trouble as I have with this product. The biggest problem with this product is its documentation.

I am sure that given adequate investment in learning, this is a very powerful tool. There is a huge amount of information available, but it is very disjointed.

Searches yeild all kinds of unrelated material. Examples seem to be marketing driven - show off the product's many glitzy features instead of providing simple, straightforward answers.

I bought this product to do a quick and simple task: Query an Access database with a date range from the user, and put the filtered data onto a spreadsheet. I have broken down and ordered two books, something I don't think should be necessary for such a simple task for someone with a decent programming background.

Many, many hours later, I still don't have an acceptable result. But unless you want to make a career out of it, stay away.
