Finding resources for programming with VBA in GIS is a challenging task. I have search high and low, and still I have found very little resources. Here is what I have found so far:
1. ArcScripts
This the best place to find code. Since it is maintained by ESRI, there is no larger collected anywhere online. The GIS community uplaods various scripts and the site puts them in an easy to search format. Many programming languages are available.
Here are a few of my favorite:
Programming with ArcObjects

I have been doing some light programming in GIS for about two years now. I had figured out how to download various scripts and VBA code snippets and piece them together to preform various tasks. By doing this, I was beginning to pick up some basic concepts in the Visual Basic for Applications environment.
I recently pick up this book, Getting to Know ArcObjects. It was really helpful. It has helped me to understand VBA a lot more. It covers various applications including customizing ArcDesktop, Creating Forms, Automating Page Layouts, Creating UIControlButtons, Automating Labels and Symbology and so much more. The chapters are layed out with instructive text and then a hands on tutorial.
Once I got this book, I worked through it in 5 days. If you have been wanting to learn more about programming in GIS then this is the book for you. Check it out today!
