>Does Dan Appleman's book or any other provide good system/network VB examples for the Windows API. Most of the VB books I've seen are geared toward GUI and user related stuff. For example, to get examples of using the WNet functios, I bought a C++ book and translated. The MSDN library has some examples but again most of the network function examples are for C++.

One said that if Dan is to cover everything, his book can be 18 times bigger!
