Advanced Microsoft Visual Basic 5 is a collection of essays on using Visual Basic (VB) 5 to build enterprise applications--a task that frequently pushes VB past the limits of what it was meant to do. While these essays aren't meant to constitute a VB tutorial, they address many issues that you're likely to run into in when developing large production applications. Some of the contributions discuss particular types of application functionality. Examples include essays on creating business objects for distributed applications, building Internet applications, and building applications that access data through Data Access Objects (DAOs), Remote Data Objects (RDOs), open database connectivity (ODBC), or DB-Lib. Other essays cover problems that will crop up in almost any application; topics of these essays include how to develop a methodical approach to error handling, suggestions for overall approaches to safe data typing and parameter passing, issues in migrating to VB 5, interface design, approaches to testing and QA, and how to manage large VB development projects. The contributions are detailed, well written, and will be of great interest to anyone working on large commercial projects. The 18 essay contributors are programmers from The Mandelbrot Set, a British development firm long associated with VB and Microsoft's Visual Basic development team. Examples and sample aplications from the book are included on the bundled CD-ROM.

While these essays aren't meant to constitute a VB tutorial, they address many issues that you're likely to run into in when developing large production applications. Written by a team of VB experts from the U.K. who call themselves the Mandelbrot Set, the second edition of Advanced Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 covers topics central to effective enterprise development. Chapters on project management, debugging, and testing and coding styles can help you get control of the project life cycle in Visual Basic. Other sections provide expert advice on using business objects, databases, exception handling, and other topics that extend the reach of today's Visual Basic. Besides being written in a lively style, Advanced Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 imparts a good deal of technical knowledge you aren't likely to find anywhere else, including material on Y2K programming. --Richard Dragan

When using software products with graphical interfaces, we frequently focus so much on the details of how to use the interface that we forget about the more general concepts that allow us to understand and put the software to effective use. This is particularly true of a powerful database product like Microsoft Access. Novice, and sometimes even experienced, programmers are so concerned with how something is done in Access that they often lose sight of the general principles that underlie their database applications. Access Database Design & Programming, 2nd Edition, an update to the bestselling first edition, features: A discussion of Access' new VBA Integrated Development Environment, which, for the first time, is the one used by Word, Excel, and PowerPoint An expansion of the discussion of the VBA language itself, in response to reader requests A discussion of Microsoft's latest data access technology, called Active Data Objects (or ADO), along with a discussion of Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), which is intimately connected with ADO Unlike other Access books that take the long, detailed approach to every topic of concern to Access programmers, this book focuses instead on the core concepts, enabling programmers to develop solid, effective database applications. As a result, important topics such as designing forms and reports, database security, database replication, and programming for multiuser applications are simply not discussed. This book is a kind of "second course" in Access that provides a relatively experienced Access user who is new to programming with the frequently overlooked techniques necessary to successfully develop in the Microsoft Access environment. Anyone interested in learning Access in-depth, rather than just scraping the surface, will enjoy and immensely benefit from reading this book. Although this book is really an introduction targeted at intermediate Microsoft Access users who are novice programmers, it should appeal to all levels of Access developers. For novice programmers, it focuses on a key body of knowledge that is typically neglected, but is nevertheless essential for developing effective database applications. For intermediate and advanced developers, its treatment of database design and queries provides a handy treatment that otherwise has to be gleaned from relatively uninteresting textbooks, while its programming chapters constitute a handy reference to some basic operations that can be performed using DAO or the Access object model.

A Volume in the Wiley-Interscience Series on Laboratory Automation. The complete, step-by-step guide to using Visual Basic in a laboratory setting Visual Basic is fast becoming the de facto laboratory programming language, yet existing books typically discuss applications that have nothing to do with science and engineering. This primer fills the gap in the field, showing professionals seeking to improve the productivity of their laboratories how to use Visual Basic to automate laboratory processes. Automating Science and Engineering Laboratories with Visual Basic helps laboratory professionals decide when and if to use Visual Basic and how to combine it with the many computing technologies used in modern laboratories such as RS-232 port communications, TCP/IP networking, and event-driven control, to name a few. With an emphasis on getting readers programming immediately, the book provides clear guidelines to the appropriate programming techniques as well as custom-developed software tools. Readers will learn how to build applications to control laboratory instruments, collect and process experimental data, create interactive graphical applications, and more. Boasting many working examples with the complete source code and backward compatibility to previous versions of Visual Basic, Automating Science and Engineering Laboratories with Visual Basic is an indispensable teaching tool for nonprogrammers and a useful reference for more experienced practitioners. MARK F. RUSSO is Senior Researcher with Bristol-Myers Squibb's Combinatorial Drug Discovery Group and an Adjunct Professor in the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science, and Health Systems at Drexel University.
