Summary: Doesn't live up to the boasts on the cover
Comment: The 1st bullet point on the cover "Increasing the performance of your application with ADO" is inaccurate for this book. There is no mention of the Datagrid, MSHFlexgrid, Data Environment, or SHAPE command in the brief ADO section. Databases, VB and Grids have always gone hand in hand, yet the authors totally ignore the grid with ADO. I must note here that this is not the only book that falls short of actually covering the newer features of VB6. In order to actually make use of these new features we are forced to 'fly by the seat of our pants' while gleaning some insight via MS Knowledge Base and a few books who actually bother to attempt to cover the features. However, this book was not much help.

Summary: This book is ALL you will need
Comment: I usually don't write reviews, but this book has helped me so much that I felt a social responsibility to say it.
I got a job that involved database and reporting work that evolved into being primarily VB with databases three weeks after I started the job. (Isn't it amazing how job descriptions can change after the hiring is complete?)
Anyway, I had to learn fast and accurately to keep the job, and this book provided all I needed to save my job!
It was also a great desk reference to troubleshoot when I got stuck down the line. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone who wants to learn and wants to buy only one book that they can continue to use after they're more comfortable.
Rating: 5
Summary: Changed my life
Comment: This book changed my life in a number of fundamental ways. I bought one for my wife, my pastor, my parents and even my dog. I am now definitely a VB6 super-geek.
