Summary: A fair command reference rife with errors.
Comment: I purchased same with the idea of making it a handy, portable syntax reference. Unfortunately, it is fair for that purpose, but the errors simply make it a poor investment. I attempted to contact the author, but was met with rude, rude replies. Unless you are in need of kindling, save your money.

Summary: A Good Quick Reference
Comment: I've owned this book for over a year (and have 8 or 9 other VB books on the shelf,) and it's literally the first one I grab when I've got a question regarding VB syntax or useage. While it doesn't cover the advanced functionality much (Winsocket / API access, etc.) or at all, it covers the basics very well, indeed. I've got a copy at home, a copy at work, and have ordered two more copies for co-workers. Although I've found a few errors, It's easy enough to pencil in the corrections.

Summary: Previous works
Comment: I sincerely hope this book is better than Mr. Rahmel's previous works. I had bought Mr. Rahmels' "Sams Teach Yourself Database Programming with Visual Basic 6 in 24 Hours". There were numerous technical errors (code snippets that simply didn't work) and no way to find out how to correctly code the problems. When I attempted to contact Mr. Rahmel I was met with little cooperation in correcting the problems. The publisher did offer to refund the money for the book however. Be forewarned!
