Good learning package for VB?

[BennyB]

I am looking for a book or software that helps teach VB. Can anyone
recommend a good package? I saw this one at http://www.vbamacro.com
called VISUAL BASIC DEVELOPER DO IT YOURSELF TOOLBOX, 2006 and
VISUAL STUDIO.NET TUTORIALS EXTREME 2006 (VB.NET). Has anyone tried
these?


Thanks,


BennyB

If your question is about Access' VBA, I do not know that either of these is
appropriate -- usually, Access books will have the word "Access" somewhere
in the title. You need to search for a book dealing with Access Visual Basic
for Applications (VBA). Access *definitely* does not use or support VB.NET,
and even "classic VB" (VB 6.0 and earlier) was a separate product with a
very similar language, but a very different object model.

If the question is not about Access VBA, but about the separate VB or VB.NET
products, you need to find a newsgroup dedicated to the product in which you
are interested.
