Acknowledgments

Our sincere thanks to the following people:

The entire TMS authoring team. You sacrificed much personal time and effort to deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines. In particular, thanks to Treesje Verlinden (Project Manager) for cracking the whip!

The rest of TMS for supporting, and putting up with, the authoring team!

Jim Brown, Steve Guty, Wendy Zucker, Marc Young, Rebecca McKay, Jean Ross, Bill Teel, Michael Victor, Travis Beaven, and everyone else at Microsoft Press (you know who you are) for getting such a high-quality job done.

From the Visual Basic team, Sean Alexander and everyone else who has supported us. What a truly great product you've made—well done.

Scott Swanson, who originally suggested to Microsoft Press that these Brits were the guys to do the book.

And last, but by no means least, Helen, William, Katie, Amy, Fiona, and Daniel, for all their love and support.
