Hi,

I'm looking for good, well-written and complete Visual Basic 6 book(s). I've been looking around and read all sorts of reviews. I have programming experience in Javascript and a bit of C, but I need to get into in-depth Visual Basic 6 programming. I need a book that is for beginners to intermediate, which is a good learning book. If it could cover database programming (ADO) it would be even better!

I would appreciate any feedback!
Thanks!

Go to the source:
1. Visual Basic 6.0 Programmer's Guide ISBN 1-57231-863-5 $39.99
2. Visual Basic 6.0 Reference Library in 3 volumes:
a. Language Reference
b. Controls Reference
c. Component Tools Guide
ISBN 1-57231-864-3
Both are from Microsoft Press, both usually have the language information I want when I look, although sometimes I have to look hard.
