Title: Might be accurate if you're only programming in VB
Review: This book is absolutely useless if you're programming in anything other than visual basic. Even then, there's not much that couldn't be found in Microsoft's own Visual Basic tilted help pages.The book claims that the C++ code easily follows from the VB code examples. This is an outright lie. Function declarations are often ordered wrong or are typed incorrectly. When you do finally sort out the function calls, it's next to impossible to figure out how to pack the variants for ADO. Something this book goes into NO detail describing.For example, where the book says you can enter an index or bookmark (which is true in VB), it leaves out that you have to pack the number in the 8th reserved slot of the variant.Don't buy this book, search dejanews instead.
