Rating: - This book is ALL you will need
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?)

Rating: - Changed my life
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.

Rating: - Don't make the same mistake I made.
I don't usually buy a computer book before checking out the customer review on the books. This time, I was in the hurry and had no time to check the review, so I wasted $.
On the cover, the publisher claims the book is "THE DEFENITIVE PROBLEM SOLVER". Shame on the publisher and the authors. The code in the book doesn't compile. ActiveX components are missing from the CD. In other words, nothing works.
