SynopsisThis book is aimed at Programmers and MIS managers who need to produce network-aware programs with Visual Basic. Most other Visual Basic books say a little about file sharing and so on, but in thin detail and with poor coverage of MAPI and Network DDE/OLE. This is an important area to cover. This book assumes prior knowledge of Visual Basic, but it could be used by any competent C programmer who wants to use Visual Basic to mock up a network application.
