While previous versions of Visual Basic had some database facilities, with Visual Basic 6, Microsoft has created a robust, fully-fledged database programming language. VB6 includes a raft of highly effective database features and tools?including hundreds of efficiencies, step-through wizards, and shortcuts?that in most cases are extremely easy to understand and master. Among the most important of these are ADO Data Control, Data View window, Query Designer, DataRepeater Control, Data Environment Designer, ActiveX Document Migration Wizard, WebClass Designer, and Visual Data Manager.

Visual Basic 6 Database Programming For Dummies is a friendly, no-nonsense guide for programmers already familiar with Visual Basic who want to take advantage of all of version 6?s powerful database features. Packed with real-world examples and plain-English explanations, it cuts through the jargon and shows you, step-by-step, how to:

Build professional-looking database programs
Move Windows applications to an intranet or the Internet
Craft user-friendly interfaces and robust reports
Automate programming with built-in tools
Maximize Internet connectivity with ActiveX
Develop ASP and IIS applications
Transitions from DAO to ADO
Understand how best to use all of VB?s built-in database features
Get the most out of VB?s Data Environment Designer

Author Richard Mansfield gives you a solid understanding of what databases are, how they work, and what you can do with them. Then he walks you through all the steps to creating powerful database applications. Topics covered include:

Getting connected with data controls and the Data Form Wizard
Using the Data Environment Designer

Building a new database from scratch
