    Why a book?

    Save your money.

    Check out this link...

    http://www.vbtutor.net/

    Then click on 'Enter Tutorial'.

    It seems okay. It's even got pictures / screenshots!

    Or, alternatively, just type 'tutorial visual basic 6' in your favourite search engine and go for it.

    Ahem... Of course don't forget to check out this forum as well

    Moved.

    If you don't know any VB then why start with VB6?

    I'd suggest learning VB.NET

    Your gonna move past the samples in the book pretty quickly since they're overly simple... I learned by learning how to extract info from MSDN Library, I also read the related articles/functions/controls... then its all a matter of treating the knowledge as "lego", with more blocks to use (you know more functions/controls/etc) you can build your applications more easily.

    My advice is to also learn how to get and understand information from other sources, not just a book or vbforum.

    cah....:

    I would have to agree with Hack and suggest that you start your learning process with .Net.

    You can get VBExpress and SQL Server Express FREE from Micro$oft's Web site so you wouldn't have to buy any software.

    While VB 6 will certainly be around for a long time to come, .Net is the future and sooner or later all VB'ers are going to end up there.

    Good Luck with your learning experience.

    Hi,

    I agree with them. .NET is becoming more popular for us developers. However, if your really interested in VB 6.0 or a student learning VB6.0, try DEITEL, MS PRESS or other Publishers. Use MSDN also..Well, vbforums contains informations for you to learn VB..This forum is awesome!!!
