Customer Reviews & Comments After reviewing this book as a possible candidate for a college class, it is amazing how awfully stupid some companies can be at marketing. Most people who buy computer books can at least read at a college level even if they've never been there. As if the typos were not enough, the examples don't work and as the last commentor explained the code that does work on the CD is completely different from the code in the book. It's a shame that Mr. Wallace can't even walk you through a wizard without breaking the code. If you don't believe how terribly poor a book can be written then pick this up in the book store or order it with the intention of returning it. Richard Grimes's book is much better for beginners and at least the code works right out of the book. Be careful, this book will suck your brain out and make you not want to do any ActiveX development with Visual C++.
