Customer Reviews

This book is ALL you will need

I usually don't write reviews, but this book has helped me so much that I felt a social responsibility to say it.I got a job that involved database and reporting work that evolved into being primarily VB with databases three weeks after I started the job. (Isn't it amazing how job descriptions can change after the hiring is complete?)Anyway, I had to learn fast and accurately to keep the job, and this book provided all I needed to save my job!It was also a great desk reference to troubleshoot when I got stuck down the line. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone who wants to learn and wants to buy only one book that they can continue to use after they're more comfortable.

Changed my life

This book changed my life in a number of fundamental ways. I bought one for my wife, my pastor, my parents and even my dog. I am now definitely a VB6 super-geek.

My Bible

I have read other reviews here and I disagree. I find this book incredibly helpful. It will not write your application for you, but it will tell you how to do the details. It has helped me write a major application. I use it as a resource not a learning manual. Once you know DB programming, this book cannot be beat for VB-Access combination

VB 6.0? Where?

In the rash to satisfy the need for VB 6.0 DB development manuals the publisher (and with it the authors) have used the usual trick of repackaging an existing VB 5.0 book with a new cover and a couple of hastily written chapters trying to cover the large number of VB 6.0's new features. The code is useful to understand the technique but often does not compile under VB 6.0 and is written without following bookwide coding conventions. Roger Jennings' VB 6.0 book is a much better buy.
