I think i am right in this but i need some advice.

If i wanted to store a string into a variable..would i use this in a part of my code too store it?

Dim strName As String

Private Sub_text1()
Name = " "
end sub

Is the (" ") the correct way to store the string??

I know this must be a very basic question to all of you..but the damn book i have never gets to the point of something..the author just rambles on and on..

If someone could tell me of a good visual basic book that is straight to the point and very good for a beginner....i need a book that teaches...not a book on run-on sentances..
thank you.
