Summary: Where are the editors?
Comment: Sadly, I have to agree with the previous review that the book is full of code, text, and illustration errors. Example: You flip to another page for an illustration of a previous topic, only to find the wrong picture (again) associated with the topic. Code will often refer to an object that you are not told to create until later. Then, you are not told to set certain properties on the object (you just have to "know" which properties to set). I usually prefer the "Teach Yourself" series. I was sufficiently satisfied with the first one in this series, but quality control is lagging. I have to admit that many examples in this book will be frustating and confusing to a beginner of Visual Basic. I still think that there is some useful information if you can wade through all of the mistakes. That is why I gave it 2 stars.

Summary: If I could give it less starts, I would.
Comment: This text is so poorly edited that I am having a hard time understanding anything. The errors occur everywhere. Nearly every graphic is wrong, and a great deal of the examples do not illustrate what the header specifies. Don't waste your time or your money.

Summary: very poorly edited
Comment: I wish I had read the others' review about this book before I started to read this book. There are just too many editial erros in it. For example, Figure 1.22 refers to Hierarchical FlexGrid Control but it actually shows Tooltiptext; Figure 1.23 mentions Data Environment Designer but the illustration is about the form of file copying. If you copy and paste the code listing of 1.1, it wouldn't run because it introduced "i" that did not declared. I wonder if the author and the editor even ever read the final proof once, because there are so many obvious errors if you are an experienced VB user. But if you are trying to learn VB, it wouldn't help because it's so confusing.
