Rod Gill has put out a new book which covers most of what you need for Microsoft Project VBA programming. As far as I know it is the only book about VBA that I know of. The last edition of Tim Pyron's "Using Microsoft Project" was so full that the VBA chapters were moved to an addendum on the web so it is great to see a book dedicated to just VBA. The book moves from the most basic concepts through creating some useful macros and userforms. It even offers an updated version of something very similar to my "Trace" macro. At the end of each chapter there are some example questions/problems which would make this book very useful if you are teaching VBA in a class. In the US the book was localized by Gary Chefetz and Dale Howard of MSProjectExperts and if you are familiar with their Project Server books you will be happy to see that the same high quality is embodied here. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a solid grounding in Microsoft Project VBA. Here is a link to the book at Amazon.
While you are at it check out Gary and Dale's Project Server Books:

I need to create a field that shows the date on which a baseline was created. So if I create a new baseline today, the field would return today's date for that baseline and if I update an existing baseline today, the field will return today's date for that baseline. Does this book offer information that will help me do this? And I would love to have any suggestions if you have them.

I think that the baseline date is one of those unfortunate properties which can not be read using VBA. At least I have not found a way to do this. Sorry. -Jack
