1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth wasting time on it, May 7, 2001

This review is from: David McCarter's VB Tips and Techniques (Paperback)

All the tips mentioned in the book are well known and for those who do not know it can easily find it in some web site on VB. Infact many of us could have written a more heavier book with more Tips and Techniques. This seems to be collection of few and you might as well spend your money for a better cause. I had to give it a single star since thats the least I could choose.
