The best of the lot by far
I read the last book by Hawhee for VB5 and passed the exam on the first try. For the VB6 Desktop exam, I tried some other books while waiting for this one to come out. The Mezick-Hillier "All-in-One Guide" wasn't very good, I don't think. The MS Press MSDN Kit was better, but not specific enough. Finally, Howard's new book came out. Read it and passed the VB6 desktop exam today in the 900 range. I highly recommend this book.It has problems, though. One piece of the included software is missing. There are a number of mistakes both in the test software and in the book, some of which are transferred over from the last version of the book. That's why it only gets four stars instead of 5.
If you are looking for the one book that truly offers value, I would without hesitation say this is it. I recommended it to a friend of mine who had been using the Transcender exams, and she credits the Transcender and Howard with her certification two weeks ago.
Best of luck, everyone.

over sized vb manual good for basics
This book is way to big to study for the exam.It does cover most of the topics related to vb and serves quite ok as a vb reference book for the basics.But for the exam go Foxall.This may help for stuff like the Treeview controls and menu bars but is too fat to digest before the exam.And yes the practice test that come with it , well they just s**k.The answers are wrong and some question's topics are not even covered in the book

Good exam Prep book, I past...
I used more that this book, but I thought this was the best coverage and prep. Definitely not for beginners, does have some errors, but definitely has good excersises at the end of each chapter to make you apply and use the concept and details required... As a working VB and ASP pgmr ya don't use all the features reguired to pass the test. This book does supply the complete range on knowledge required for the exam. This book, the product doc and all the practice exams you can find will get ya thru the tests...
