Best PC Programers book ever

I have worn my copy of this book out. I can't imagine not getting this book. The examples have saved project after project. I will be getting the VB.Net reference as i learn VB.Net. If you work with VB.6 as I do, you MUST have this book!!!! Easy to read, easy to search,, and you will learn something as you use it. PROGRAMMERS, GET THIS BOOK!!!

A Good Quick Reference

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.

Excellent command set reference!

This is an excellent quick reference for the VB6, VBA and vbscript command sets! The annotations for which comands are available to vbscript were especially helpful to me. Well worth the $14 or so.

excellent reference

If you are already comfortable with programming in Visual Basic and just need a quick reference, this is the one book you need. I use it frequently to find the functions and object models I need. It gives me all the information I need without making me wade through 800 pages of instructions.

An Essential Book.

I think this book irreplacable on my reference shelf. I use it everyday for work. If you do any Visual Basic work, I recommend that you get this book. It's only $15 and it has already paid for itself several times over. I use this book every day, and highly recommend it to anyone. A previous reviewer complained about a bad binding (true) and simple index. Since the all the language and method entries are alphabetic, I never really looked at the index. I also always use the `See Also' listings at the end of each term to find related commands.
