Refund?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Waite Group's Visual Basic 6 SuperBible (The Waite Group) (Paperback)
If there was ever a case of false advertiseing this is it! The back cover of this book says "Every Visual Basic property, method, event, and keyword is covered in detail." That my friends is a damn lie! The last time I checked "ListCount" was a Visual Basic property, is it covered in this book? NO!!! What about "DoEvents"? Surely this "SuperBible" would at least MENTION IT - WRONG IT DOES'NT!!! I could go on and on with dozens of keywords, properties, events, and methods that this book makes no mention of at all.I have never been burned this badly before! I should have paid more attention to the review below! I can gaurantee you that if you buy this book you will be sorry! Thanks for nothing Waite!!!

Lots of paper, little info.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Waite Group's Visual Basic 6 SuperBible (The Waite Group) (Paperback)
This book is another VB6 help-file rehash. I had high hopes for this book but those were dashed on the jagged rocks of triviality. For a book requiring several trees worth of paper, one would think that something like - how to pass a control array to a procedure would surely be covered! Or perhaps would at least mention how to use the most common controls! No, you won't find that information here. What you will find is a lot of topics covered, a few with good depth and the rest barely mentioned. The format of the book is excellent but the overwhelming majority of the information presented leaves you saying "I could have got that information from the VB6 help-file!" I recommend you spend your $40.00 on a different book as this one will be of little use to anyone.

Dont waste your money!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Waite Group's Visual Basic 6 SuperBible (The Waite Group) (Paperback)
This book was a total waste of hard-earned cash. Upon opening the first chapter it was so full of incorrect information and omissions, it is virtually useless. The instructions for builidng the programs conveniently (!) omit half of the steps. If you are a beginning programmer, you will be totally lost. I own a small library of programming reference books, and this is by far my biggest disappointment.
