Shocking.
The best part is that on his Amazon reviews, the only one there is an Access book.

I inherited a code base written by a guy with a very similar style to him. It was an app written in VB6, and the longest single function in the app was over 5,000 lines long. I really couldn't make it up if I tried.
The presentation and data access layers (if they were to exist) were completely wrapped up in one another, so that hard-coded values dictated database decisions and what listboxes would be displayed, yadda yadda yadda. I was never able to completely fix it, only get things working well enough to keep moving forward.
If there are doubts to its existence, I can happily post a screenshot.
Oh, and in the realm of clipboard-level coding, there are basically no variables to hold data behind the scenes. Almost everything on every form is contained in invisible textboxes and retrieved with lines such as DataSource1 = Textbox35.Text.
Finding out that working on that app was part of my job was probably the worst day I've had at a job so far. And not surprisingly, it was coded by a lone developer with no supervision. Might as well have been using Access ;)
