This well integrated database access programming guide for VB6 programmers comes with clear explanations, supporting figures and screen shots. The author specifically shows how to access data and build interfaces for simple and efficient communication and interaction. Please keep in mind that this is not a user guide or VB6 tutorial, you should be familiar with the VB6 environment and already have completed an introductory tutorial and guide for programmers such as Beginning Visual Basic 6 or equivalent. Some basic familiarity with ActiveX controls, data objects, Active Server Pages (ASP) and database concepts would be desirable. As a future VB programmer, you will need the Standard Edition of VB6, Microsoft Access and Microsoft``s Personal Web Server (PWS) to derive the most benefit from this guide.
