Invaluable
I bought this book two years ago. I originally read it cover to cover. However, I still often use it for review.It is not only well written both from a organziation perspective, but also in content. Examples are complete and ample. I HIGHLY recommend this book. DJ

Good, clear explanations
This book really opened up the world of ADO programming for me. It was concise, but not simple. It really explained the benefits of using ADO. It was insightful, but not too complicated. Not for beginner programmers, though. The format took a little getting used to, but if you read it carefully, this won't be a problem. The CD has code samples, so that is a huge time saver - you wont have to copy the code by hand.

Very disappointing
I bought this book hoping to get a good understanding of ADO programming. I have a deep respect for Holzer, and his previous books, but this was a major disappointment. The book is choppy and poorly written. It reads like an appendix in the back of a users manual. With little instruction, the author simply lists the events and methods of the ADO object. This book might be useful as a quick reference, but definitely lacks as a teaching tool. If you are a beginning ADO programmer, I would look elsewhere.
