I owned both and they were both really good.

I am so glad that you found them useful. the one thing that Andy and I hate about code samples (in books, articles or conference sessions) is that so many of them are irrelevant when it comes to solving any kind of real world problem - you know what I mean: o = createobject('foo'). We tried our best to make our code samples "project ready". As a matter of fact, we have encountered several projects with class libraries named "CH05" LOL!!!!
