Summary: An excellent book for those who know VB already!
Comment: While I do agree with some reviewers in terms of errors which exist in some code in the book, I strongly disagree with those who condemn this book as being inadequate. This is not a book for Vb or Programming NEOPHYTES!
This book assumes that you know VB, and concentrates on teaching you how to develop database applications. In this area it does a marvelous job. I do agree with the authors mix of DAO/RDO and ADO. There is still a lot of DAO/RDO stuff out there which will need to be supported! It does an excellent job with its treament of ADO, DED, and data report designs. Not forgetting how to design and implement robust databases! Its database treament is even better than most database-only books I have reviewed!!
I know of pricier books that do not come anywhere close in terms of what this book offers(teaches). If you need more or exclusive ADO stuff look elsewhere.
I am both a professional VB/Database designer and also an instructor in VB and DB in a CIS dept and comparing this book to other books especially textbooks, you can't find anything more readable than this book!
I score this book a 4 because of code mistakes!
If you know VB, this is an excellent database design book for you! (Common! Let's be FAIR! The authors actually warn you up front about this fact!)

Summary: A very good beginner's intro to VB Database programming
Comment: I agree with the other reviewers, this book could use a bit more proof reading, there are some errors. However, if you go through the book and type in all their code and try to figure out why some of their code doesn't work, you learn a lot. You won't learn anything by reading this book, you really have to get your hands dirty, do all the exercises. Overall, I was pleased with this book.

Summary: Database programming with Visual Basic 6
Comment: This book promises much, but delivers little. Both the book and the examples from the CD are so full of errors that it is more of an example in frustration than learning. It is nothing more than a usless piece of garbage
