Excel 2007 VBA Programming with XML and ASP by Julitta Korol 
(Wordware Publishing, Inc.)
====================================================================================

The book offers step-by-step instructions on how to work with each chapter. 

The Ex07_HandsOn folder contains files used in the Hands-On exercises and custom projects. 
Some of these files are collections of the example code used in the book, while others are 
supplemental files that may be required to run the book's VBA procedures. 

Your working directory for most of the chapters is called Ex07_ByExample. It is created in 
the book's Hands-On 1-1 exercise.
 
The completed chapter files are located in the folders prefixed with the name "Completed" 
such as: Completed_Ex07_ByExample, Completed_ASP_ClassicWithExcel, Completed_XMLWithExcel07, 
and Completed_CustomUI. Once you complete a chapter, you can compare your work against 
the corresponding files in those folders. You can also check a completed file in case you 
are having difficulty with a particular example in the book's Hands-On exercises. 

The Images folder (a subfolder of the Ex07_HandsOn folder) contains small button images for 
working with Ribbon customizations (Chapter 21).

If you are running Windows Vista, the Additional_Instructions folder contains 
a pdf file (WindowsVistaIISConfiguration.pdf) with Windows Vista steps for setting up 
and configuring IIS 7.0 and the virtual directory used in Chapter 28.
