SQL Server and VB

[LLudlow]

Does anyone know a good book on developing applications with VB 6.0 and SQL server 7.0. I am developing an application that has to call stored procedures and i am looking for a book to help with this and other related items.

Thanks

I use SQL Server 7 Developers Guide by Osbourne press as a reference book, it covers alot of ground.

"ADO Examples and Best Practices" by William R. Vaughn is a book that I use frequently.

ISBN: 1-893115-16-X

Great examples of many ways to use ADO and good analysis of what you gain/lose by each approach.

I use SQL Server 2000 Developer's Guide(Osborne). It's got tons of great stuff. Pretty much the same as CCTC1 said. MYenigmaSELF

Professional Visual Basic 6 Databases by WROX Press has been a great teaching tool for me.

I used Mastering Database programming with Visual Basic 6 (Evangelos Petroutsos). I also needed specific info on stored procedures (passing and returning values) and this book has this (and more).

I was just curious, I'm going to be learning VB soon -

My app is currently running on ASP with a SQL Server 7.0 database. It has been decided that the next version should be written in VB (probably 6) using the same databse. I need to learn the VB language, more than what I learned for the ASP (VB Script) and in more detail.

Would any of you suggest these books, or similar for someone with a programming backgroud, but just starting to get into VB?

Thanks in advance!

I know I keep plugging these WROX books but they are great. For a VB Beginner, Beginning Visual Basic 6.0 is a great place to start. It doesn't assume you are a dummy like the Dummies books do (why anyone buys them fails me) and all of the code examples are copiously explained.
