Summary: Excellent Answer Book - a mini-guru in your pocket
Review: Although the book wasn't all I was looking for, it gave me more than I originally expected. I bought this book because I was tired of skimming through 10 different VB web sites looking for a quick and dirty answer to a question - and SAMPLE CODE. :)This book met my expectations very well, it answered more than half of the questions I had...and had answers to some questions I hadn't yet thought of asking. Although it doesn't hit many of the real advanced topics I was really hoping for (i.e., calling/using C DLLs...besides just knowing you can do it), I am more than happy with it -- and recommend it to other non-VB gurus. :)

Summary: For beginners
Review: I can't say it's a bad book but it wasn't for me. If you are relatively new to Visual Basic or you want to know what version 6 can do, take a look to this book. Beside that, look for more specific books like those from Wrox on VB6

Summary: Good "cook-book" for VB Beginners
Review: I got this book about 2 years a go when I was starting on VB. It helped a lot on my learning. This is a cook book or "How to..." book that teaches you how to do many usual things so it's very useful when you are a beginner so you don't have to figure out how to do this things and It save you many time. Once you get in practice probably you won't need it any more.

Summary: Good Bathroom reading
Review: I would agree with some of the other reviews, ie., that a lot of what is in this book one could get off of the internet, and that the coverage of VB6 is pretty weak (if you compare this version with the previous version, there is not much difference), however it's a good source for advanced VB Topics and makes for some very good bathroom reading.

Summary: This book really demonstrates the power of VB6
Review: This book has MANY provocative examples of things that can be done with VB6. The examples are non-trival and not necessarily to be comprehended in one sitting (by me at least). This is definitely a book to work with while learnng to use VB6 and its many features (like the Microsoft msscript.ocx control (p. 506) which has really grabbed my attention). I give the authors high marks for producing this book.
