Summary: ADO 2.5 is available
Review: ADO 2.5 was released with Windows 2000 but is not restricted to Windows 2000. It is a single download from the Microsoft Web site and installs like a dream. It works with any version of Windows 95 on. I have to admit that I found that most of this book was relevant to any version of ADO from 2.1 on.

Summary: Fascinating!
Review: Although I have been using ADO for a couple of years, I have been unable to put this book down since I got it. I like that it focuses purely on ADO and related technologies. The text and examples clarify the basics, and go on to show how to use ADO with the Data Environment, the Report Designer, hierarchical recordsets, ADO MD, etc. This is the right information at the right level for the work I am doing now.

Summary: Solid ADO
Review: Coming from a known expert on VB, SQL and Microsoft technologies, I was glad to read this title and not be let down. This book gives you a solid overview and gave me what I needed to know about ADO. Its a good read.

Summary: Just an overview.... not much detail
Review: I am new to ADO and wanted detailed info on how to get around the new recordsets, modify them, bind them etc. This handbook will gloss over lots of points including ADO controls, Data environments, recordsets etc, but does not go into details. I would not recommend this book.

Summary: Very Helpful Book
Review: I bough this book a few week ago. I really like it a lot. I believe Mr. Gunderloy is the only one have a book about ADO in Visual Basic with some details in Data Environment and Data Report. Thank you for writing this book. It helps me in understanding more about the concept.

Summary: VERY BASIC
Review: I think this book would be okay for someone who just needs VERY basic usage of ADO. The examples provided are very simple and there is no detailed info anywhere. There is not even a mention of the topic of OpenSchema and there is a 1 paragraph reference to ADOX & ADOMD. I recommend the ADO 2.1 Programmer's Reference by David Sussman.
