Summary: Big book, little useful advanced content
Comment: Once again, I am awed by the fact that a publisher can continually put out books with untested code samples. I am an advanced database programmer and I found this book of little use to me. RDS was simply glazed over with the properties, events and methods supplied, but no concrete explanations of how to use it in an Internet environment. For a beginner or intermediate user, this book may supply a good foundation, but when trying to figure out why the code samples don't work or why there are inconsistencies in the syntax of the samples, this book will leave you hanging. May as well just fight it out with MSDN...

Summary: A good reference, but a lot of typos
Comment: I agree that this is an excellent reference source for ADO, but I was dismayed to find a number of typos that kept me searching other sources for proper syntax (e.g. the example on page 20 has a space between OLE and DB in a line of code, which will return an error.) Hopefully these will be fixed in subsequent printings.

Summary: Excellent must have book. For the shelf above your monitor.
Comment: I was looking for pure reference. This is it. It will tell you essentially everything you need to know about ADO. I used it on NT with ADO 2.1 on MS Access 97 database. This helped tremendously.
Remember those old Borland books where they tell you which C functions work on which operating systems? This book takes the same approach. Even though it says ADO 2.6, it distinguishes what works on NT, vs Win2000. Also helps you with database differences, Oracle vs SQL Server vs MSAccess.
You'll wear out the binding like I did, I guarantee it. Happy programming!
