Summary: The Ultimate VB6 Book
Review: A book that helps reader visualize the full potentiality of VB6. Chapters on ADO, OOP are extremely good. It is an unbeatable VB6 book.

Summary: Fell Short
Review: I enjoyed the overview but the book rushed through a lot of details when I read through the ADO portion. Also much of the code did not compile until I fixed a few things, all in all dissapointing. Sam's VB Database Programming Guide was a much better book.

Summary: Could use some work...
Review: The book did not explain certain parts in detail. It had some examples but did not have an example for the first 6 chapters of the book showing the whole program and how it may look. The book is based on the advanced and did not go to those who are beginners or intermediate and do not really know a lot about databases. It assumes that you know about databases and their features. I think this book could use some work. It could be better with more examples and better explanations (such as on queries). But, it is a good book overall.

Summary: Errors all over the place
Review: The book need much work with errors throughout the book, especially in the examples. I couldn't get any of the examples to work with out much repair work on my part. If you're use to repairing and debugging programs that's great. If you're reading just to get a perspective on things the book is adequate, but if you actually want to learn something use caution with this book.The CD is valueless and not worth a cent.

Summary: Could have been better . . .
Review: This book had a lot of information, to it's credit. I found quite a bit of material that seemed to be copied right out of the Visual Basic 6 help documentation. Also, I was disturbed to find I was reading multiple paragraphs over again, because they were repeated in the book verbatim multiple times. I found the DAO/ADO sections, to be useful, but no the ODBC sections. I also found a few (less than 5) coding errors.

Summary: Good Book - for a beginner
Review: This is a good book if you are a beginner wanting to become familiar with VB6 data access methodologies like ADO, RDO, etc. Written in plain English and covers the basics well.
