When I first saw this book the quote on the cover caught my attention:

"No Other book teachers you so much, so fast, so thoroughly!" 

Typically, I am not the kind of person who buys tons of VB books.  I just find that most VB 6 books are really previously written VB 5 books with a new title!  When I received a copy of Murach's Visual Basic 6 book and started reading it, I was pleasantly surprised to find a true VB 6 book!

The first 4 chapters are geared towards the novice - walking through the VB IDE, events, properties, and methods in a clear and concise manner.  Section 2.0 then goes on to provide 7 chapters of ADO database progamming techniques and practical examples!   

Murach's Visual Basic 6 book not only discusses ADO development, but even covers advanced topics like the Data Environment, Data Report Designer, and Data view.  Section 3 covers misc development skills, including how to build and distribute ActiveX controls for the Internet.

I found this book very useful to my own development projects (VBCE and VB related) and definitely recommend Murach's Visual Basic 6 book to any VB 6.0 developer.
