The Visual Basic 5 Programmer's Reference

This book is not intended as a "How To" or a tutorial. And yes, it is in some respects a repeat of the VB 5 Help. Those of you who can remember back to a time when a mouse was simply an unwelcome visitor in your attic or basement, and the term CRT brings to mind little white characters in a green fog will appreciate this book. Those of us who do it for a living simply need to peel our eyes away from those beautiful 21 inch displays with all their color and glory and look at the coolness and conciseness of the printed page. Relish moving your wrists in more than one plane as you flip the pages. As I previously stated, out of 8 VB books in my collection this is the most worn and dog eared. The facts speak for themselves. Watch out for some minor typos and errors, nobody is perfect. I emailed the author with feedback on these and he seemed very receptive to input. However, I dare say at the rate our friends in Redmond, WA are releasing new versions of VB most authors will probably have little time to get out more than thier first edition on any one version of VB.
