Title: A Seriously Flawed and sloppy work
Review: This book may make for good reading but the Video store project does not work as it is written out here. The flaws in the code are so numerous and frustrating and it really amazes me everyone giving this book such high marks when the project from the book so obviously does not work. Rocky makes use of the LSet statement to copy user-defined-types from one memory location to another with disasterous results. What galls me is that on his web site he defends his dubious methods and from the reviews for the version 6 edition of the book, as evidenced elsehwere here at amazon, he doesn't really make many changes in the new edition. Wrox press books are so promising at a glance but I find the examples are almost always seriously flawed. Beginning Database Programming with VB6 is the same way. You can read the best bits of these books on the MSDN library. Don't waste your money here....
Is the review positive or negative?
