Part VI: Sunday Afternoon

The remaining sessions deal with a variety of topics, including runtime errors, database
tasks, add-ins, and online help.
I recommend that you work through the sessions in order. At the very least you should
complete Sessions 1 through 9 before branching off to other topics.

The Companion Web Site
On the book’s companion Web site, you’ll find code listings of sample programs and a self-
assessment test, which consists of over 80 multiple-choice and true or false questions. Just
go to www.wiley.com/compbooks/aitken.

Features
As I have mentioned, each session is designed to take about 30 minutes. It’s not a race,
however, so don’t worry if it takes you a bit longer. It’s what you learn that’s important.
The following time-status icons let you know how much progress you’ve made throughout
each session.

The following icons identify bits of information that are set apart from the text:

A note is an important bit of information that you should know about.

Note

A tip is a suggestion for an easier or faster way to do something when pro-
gramming Excel.
