Summary: A Thin Reference For Growing VB Programmers
Review: I worry that there may be multiple editions of this book; mine was published in 1999. ADO, the key database technology of VB6, isn't treated until Chapter 10, followed by a quick jump to IIS in Chapter 11. Had problems getting some of the examples to run; the website offered hasn't been up for quite a while. This isn't a bad VB6 database book, and in fact I'd recommend it for students developing their background in the historical development of Microsoft's Universal Database Access technology -- its presentation of the older technologies is great. This text won't, however, solve any problems you'll encounter trying to develop VB6 database applications.

Summary: Another must have
Review: Jeffrey writes extremely well and the previous edition of this book was the definitive book on the subject. This wasn't quite as good and lacks a degree of detail that a professional developer could need if messing about with data access but don't let me sound as if I'm putting you off...its a must have on your book shelf compared to some of the junk written on this subject.He's also unique amongst authors in that he actually replies to E-mails you send him...

Summary: great book
Review: I often refer to this book when I need some assistance. It covers everything I need to know as far as what i'm doing, you couldnt ask for a better book, both as a learning tool and as a reference.

Summary: Once you learn basic VB, grab this book next
Review: After you learn how to create forms and vb language constructs, buy this book and go cover-to-cover. Data makes the world go round, and McManus shows you how to use VB to get it.

Summary: Good Book But too Many Errors
Review: Good book, but too many erros in the code, or print. I have spent almost an extra hours figuring out mistakes so far, and I am only 1/3 way through!

Summary: Poor book
Review: I'm a beginner with an intermediate knowledge of ASP and VBScript. I wanted to learn more about both topics and more about VB and this was a great place to find it! McManus gave great examples that made things easy to understand. I consider myself a fairly advanced user of computers and an intermediate level programmer. This book was good for me -- explained things very well but never talked down to me.
