Summary: Decent code examples; however, they are poorly explained
Review: This book has some good examples of using Visual Basic 6.0 and the various data access techniques, etc...However, the book reminds me more of a shopping list with it's individual check marks; than a clearly written educational manual.

Summary: This book is poor written and edited (i.e. bad sample code)
Review: This book is for the Advance VB user only. I calculated that 60% of the examples do not compile unless there is some re-coding. This book gives a weak description for each of the covered topics. Function are missing from the sample code that comes with the book. For example, half the code in Chapter 10 and 11 does not work due to missing functions. I am a developer with the full Enterprise Visual Studio 6.0. I review VB manuals for our developer support department. I wish that I could get the author to give me my money back or at least send me working sample code.

Summary: Too scattershot.....
Review: While this book was appropriate for database techniques using JET, and DAO it was not really appropriate for the more heavyweight SQL server RDO/ADO access techniques/ overview. This unfortunately, is another example of a "salad bar" "taste me, taste me" computer tome/book that misses its mark by trying to be all topics/things to everybody. I was particuarly annoyed by the meager 50 pages devoted to RDO and the 70 pages devoted to ADO all of which were absurdly abbreviated in their scope; it would have been far better to omit them entirely. If you want a serious book on these topics, buy the 6th edition Hitchhiker's Guide to VB/SQL SERVER.
