Customer Reviews

Excellent source for beginners

I found this book to be a very good source for database programming, especially for beginners. I not only went through all 21 days of lessons but also return to the book frequently as a help resource.

Simply The Best

This was simply the best resource I've ever seen concerning Visual Basic 5. Keep up the good work.

Solid introduction book to VB DB programming

I don't know why other reviewers don't like the book. Actually, I bought all three editions of the book, from VB 4 to VB 6. The book covered most important contents for building VB DB apps, with a lot of useful warnings and tips. Though I have done some VB DB programming before, I found useful info in every chapter which clarifies some issues or teaches some tricks. Give one example, I have tried to use MaskedEdit as a bound control but encountered abnormality when updating records. I spent several hours trying to bypass the error with coding without any luck. Later I happened to find (in this book) that all I need to do is to set the "PromptInclude" property to False. That tip alone already worths the price to me.Aside from the goodies, I found the VisData chapter not so interesting. That's not quite related to programming. Also I'd like to see a chapter talking about VB/VBA DB programming, differences and relations.

Excellent Resource

I found this book extremely useful. Many questions I had always needed answered were by this book. Easy to understand and follow. I highly recommend it!
