Visual Basic

I'm doing a database project in VB for my Computing project at the moment. VB front-end and processing with an Access Database back-end. And I have to say, Microsoft Visual Studio 6 is one of the worst programs I've ever used to design something in.

Oh, and one word that makes me cringe whenever I hear it - twips. Bleugh.

First thing to do, Spector - learn the simple things such as Printing in the form and how to use command buttons.

This is a nice tutorial that goes through the properties of various components and objetcs before moving onto command buttons, MsgBoxes and Printing ion the form.

If you want to carry on, then by all means go on to the second lesson, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc.

One thing I'll say - make sure you do practice the code. The more you practice, the easier it becomes, particularly with a language as easy as Visual Basic. Give it a few weeks and you'll be able to do a lot.
