I've read the reviews of some others on this site about the typos---but simply put, this book enabled me to pass the VB Certification test with flying colors. I haven't seen any of the others, but when I took the test, the questions from the simulated tests on the supplied CD with this book were on the test---almost verbatim!By the way, link to my web site and you can download an errata list I developed for this book.
Organized Well, but too many typos and inaccuracies!

Very comprehensive. However, there are too many mistakes in the book and the accompanying CD. Are the authors publishing corrections? For example, I found this answer in the Chapter 2 test, to be particularly disturbing: "The statement Form1.BackColor = RGB(0,0,0) The correct answer is: will change the form's background color to white." The correct answer is black. This is only one of many mistakes I uncovered in Chapter 2 alone. I prefer to pass the Exam. Given that, errors of this nature make it difficult to rely on this book.
It's a great book, but there are some typos

As I mentioned in my earlier review, I use this book in a course I teach for VB4 exam preparation. I think you'll find it invaluable in your preparation for the exam. There's no other book like this on the market right now (I'm working on my own,) and fortunately, this book is a good one. However, I've got a list of about 40 typos, errors, etc. that I need to get to the publisher on this.
Pass Your VB Exam !!!

It is a good reference book to prepare for your Visual Basic Exam. Most of the concepts have been summarized in an organized way so that you can understand and memorize them easily. However, several minor mistakes found. Finally, I would like to thank the authors, Howard Hawhee and Peg Toomey
