 Do not waste your time with this book. February 17, 2002
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a POORLY written book. The author(s) simply changed their old RDO book to ADO, and sold it as new for VB 6. Many of the samples will not work or compile, because they forgot to change connection/recordset from RDO to ADO.
What a waste! February 16, 2002

This is POORLY written book. Many sample programs do not work or even compile. Many of the variables still use the name "RDO" instead of ADO. Obviously, the author(s) never tested their sample programs, because they do not run. So be careful what book you buy. You could waste $....

I have read about half of the book and it has have already answered more questions and given me more insight into Visual Basic than any other book I have read! The coverage of database connectivity and API calls is outstanding as is the section on Programming for the WEB. I found the writing style to be very easy to read. I recommend this book to all Visual Basic developers.

The book is full with examples, but a lot of them needs some files from the CD, and very much of them are missing from the CD, poor sybex support for such problems !!!
