Any book suggestions?

Its about time i bought another VB book to add to my small collection.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good VB book, Preferably one that doesnt have too much database stuff, or stuff to do with SQL or Email functionality?

I have seen advertisements for The Visual Basic Reference Library, does anyone know it? I am wondering if it is worth paying $80 for 3000+ pages, only to find that it gives itself over to email, SQl and databases! Im not a beginner, but im not an expert either. And i can always find time to learn about optimising code, encryption, API, and distribution issues.

I would be very interested to hear your opinions (on any books really)

thanks, Woss

Hi,

If Encryption is what you're looking for then the book you want is 'Visual Basic 6 Win32 API Tutorial'. He devotes a lot of pages to encryption methods.

I got "Visual Basic 6.0 Developer's Workshop"
and its realy good, but then again its not much advanced "thingies" in it.

Visual Basic for Dummies it's funnier to just read it then actually learn anything....
