This is the second book I've bought on VB, the first one being an introductory book on everything I need to know about the basics of VB. But since I wanted to focus on database programming, I bought this book and read through it, confused most of the time. Running the sample codes didn't help either. I thought it was only my inexperience with the language that is causing the trouble, thank goodness I found that the other more experienced readers of the book also had similar experiences. I tried swallowing the text up until Chapter 10 and then I finally gave up. If you ask me how I would describe the writing and organization of this book, frustrating would come to mind. I finally gave up and bought another book!

I found this book extremely useful. Many questions I had always needed answered were by this book. Easy to understand and follow. I highly recommend it!

I wrestled with this book for weeks. I thought I was crazy. Then I got a book on sql, and things developed a bit.
The problem with the book is that it teaches a bit of sql, but never hooks it up to visual basic. Maybe it does somewhere, but darned if I can find it.
Lots of stuff, but all disconnected. And all that money.......

This was simply the best resource I've ever seen concerning Visual Basic 5. Keep up the good work.

Solid introduction book to VB DB programming
I don't know why other reviewers don't like the book. Actually, I bought all three editions of the book, from VB 4 to VB 6. Read more

Don't Bother
This book is unuseful. It contains too many bugs, hard to follow examples, and "Stream of Consciousness" teaching. Read more

Don't buy it!
To echo many of the other reviews this book is horrible. The example code is riddled with mistakes and the explinations of the code become shorter and shorter as the book... Read more

It does teach database programming with VB5.
This book is sloppy, buggy, and a lot of the code doesn't work, but it can be worth the effort, especially, when it's necessary to port an MS Access application to VB5. Read more

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs....
This book has too many bugs for a beginner to figure out. Has a few good ideas and examples, though... Just don't expect them to work on the first try. Read more

Riddled with Errors
This book was very frustrating. Just when you think you have written all the code it asked you to, as soon as you run it, it blows up. Read more
