Can anyone recommend a good vb book for beginners? I'm also looking for a
developers book when I get all of the fundementals down...

Wrox publishes many books on VB and related topics (like the VB COM series),from beginner to advanced. They are consistently good and moderately
priced. Hope this helps.

One thing to consider is MS is phasing out the current versions of VB (1-6)
with a new VB called VB.NET. VB.NET is very different from the current stuff.
As a beginner, you might want to consider not spending a lot of time learning
about a technology that is being phased out, and look at the newer stuff
(VB.NET) or even Java instead.
Good luck,

I was thinking the "WROX" books as soon as I read yoru question, then Simonsaid it first! They are good books, very "real world" releated, and they
have little diagrams on the back covers to show you which books come first,
which ones come later. Tooo bad Sun Microsystems didnt' invent VB, cuz Sun
publishes excellent, pertinent books for Java. Wish the VB books were written
like those Java books! Usually, you can find an inexpensive community college
that teaches 2 or 3 quarters of VB, that's a good way to get the important
basics. Just make sure they teach a lot of database access and they don't
teach DAO. Do anything you can to learn Java, tooo! - Gary
