Book Reviews of Visual Basic 6 Database Programming for Dummies

Book Review: I got $... worth
Summary: 3 Stars

I am not impressed with the lack of an examples CD. The sections you do code are so abbreviated, its hard to catch up. Furthermore, the example on Chapter 3 generates an error on my system and I have gone step-by-step a number of times thinking I missed something. The support page on the web is lacking and had the author/publisher bothered to better detail the examples, or include them on a CD, I wouldnt be having the problems I am.

Where I -am- impressed is the way thd author writes. Clearly he knows VB Database Programming and is eager to show it. I just wish he'd be a bit more thorough in his examples. Its almost as though he wrote this guide in a hurry.

I'm still working on finishing the book and the examples. So far, all I see here are glowing reviews and I wanted to share my experience.
