Visual Basic 6 from the Ground Up

I had some a rather tough Visual Basic professor in 2001, and I went out and bought half a dozen books to help me get through the course. Visual Basic 5, From The Ground Up, by Gary Cornell, got me through more of the issues than any of the other books. It's the most worn, dirty, and used of my VB books because when I had a problem, I could usually find a decent example in this book that helped me with a solution.

One of the reviewers on Amazon mentions that there are way too many pages (my copy has over 700). But, when I am trying to solve a problem, and I finally find a reference that might be helpful, I am always quick to see how many pages they are going to give me on this suddenly precious subject. So, maybe as a quick reference, this book is overdone, but for me it was just right.
