Summary: Do Not Purchase This Book
Review: Do not purchase this book. I have completed seven chapters and have come across two clear errors in the review questions. Readers attempting to prepare for the Visual Basic 6.0 Distributed Applications exam must have accurate information in the text AND accurate answers to the review questions.

Summary: Decent overview - but too many errors and too shallow
Review: I just took the 70-175 exam and passed, using this book as my primary study document. However, the exam was much more difficult than any of the practice exams included with the book. Although the book helped me prepare, I relied as much on my 20+ years programming experience as on the book to help pick out the correct responses. Although the book gives a decent overview of many of the topics on the exam, I would not recommend relying on it as a primary source for preparation. There are too many gaping holes and too many errors both in the chapters and in the review questions.

Summary: incomplete syllabus, bad questions
Review: This book explains VB 6 in simple language so that even the idiot can understand VB 6 features. However, the content is simple as well and can't help you to pass the exam.Try the exam guide by Howard Hawhee. I'm not sure whether it is the best, but it is second to none so far.

Summary: DON'T BUY
Review: This book has too many obvious errors. Yes, it will help you but why pay for a book that has poor publishing and proofreading. If the publisher/author would like to contact me ... please post a comment here.

Summary: Don't buy
Review: This book will not help to pass the exam. The questions are not even similar to the exam's questions. Some things in the book are over explained, that you could think that the reader never have seen VB before, and other more complicated topics are just touched.
I would not recommend this book, not only because of waisted money, but because of waisted time.
