Very Handy Reference Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I found this book to be quite useful in a number of areas - very basic client\server programming, using RDO, Using SQL server 6.0 with VB and also found the last few chapters that deal with VBA very handy. I am now re-reading the sections on Windows API, and software optimization so that I can attempt to make a client/server app that I am writeing much more efficent. Overall a very good book for the advanced beginner thru intermediate programmer.
I found items that were extremely helpful (API and SQL)

I look at all VB books and I purchase 1 out of 50. I enjoy it when I find a book worth while. This book seats on my desk as reference. I at first thought the chapter on API didn't have much BUT I was wrong. I found several API's in the book that I needed for my current project. It was a great deal easier to look in this book then in the usual API reference. This saved me quite a bit of time. My only problem with the book is that co-workers want to take it. I hope the authors are going to write a VB 6 version.
Great Reference, But Not For the Beginner
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
If you are not already familiar with VB, you'd be better off starting with one of the other titles on the subject that is more geared towards a beginner. If, however, you already have a base knowledge of VB concepts, this book will make a great addition to your reference library. It touches on a wide variety of subjects, and covers them quite well. Though they have not made an effort to write all the code FOR you, they do a nice job of showing you how to write it yourself.
Beyond VB 3
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I cut my teeth on VB3, and never really bothered with VB4. I was looking for books that would skip the VB basics and cover the new areas of 5, (and 4). I was glad to find this book as it covers exactly what I was looking for in one book.
A good Book
