This book has never let me down. There are versions for each version of excel you need.
I would also say learn to use the object browser and help functions within VBA. They can be helpful in explaining what functions and objects do.
I probably learned the most by typing in google: "How do I do _____ in access VBA?"
I bought this and have done pretty well.

I code every day and use the internet as a resource and not a place to just find the code I'm looking for. That I feel is an important distinction.
In 4 months I have learned enough to code a program my company uses all day as an order management data center.
I used this book written by James Foxall. It is really well written and covers a wide range of topics.
Back in the days before the internet, the VB6 Black Book was my reference of choice.

Read through it in a week, covered enough that I was making programs and working on other people's code after that week was up.

I was in high school when I read this and it still only took a weekend or two.
