Learning VBA

I am in the process of learning VBA. As I gat more into this, I realize that there seem to be many different flavors of VBA out there.

Specifically, I am trying to learn VBA for MicroStation, A CAD program developed by Bentley. I am following a book titled:

"Learning MicroStation VBA", by Jerry Winters, 2006 Bentley Institute Press.

Over all it's a good book, but sometimes, it seems to be written for a reader that already knows VBA, which I do not.

I know the Bentley Program MicroStation very well, so when the VBA book references connecting to some bit of the program, I know pretty well whet it is talking about. However, it's the VBA I am having problems with, specifically when the book tells me to "Write some code", and I do, but it then does not offer any answers to the errors I get when I try the code out.

My Question is:

Is there some additional, fundamental VBA book or documentation I could reference to help me along in explaining what this book seems to be lacking in. I feel like I should know VBA better but when I look for additional information, it's always VBA for Excel or Word, or something else.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your responses. I was especially rewarded to see in the forum that lots of people seem to be having issues with Chapter 5, which is the first chapter that has us doing code, and just happens to be a complete mess.

I will venture further out to see what else I can find to supplement this text and hope that chapter 6 is better.

Thanks
