Good how to books?

I would like to know if anyone has recommendations for a good VB6 learning/how to book. I have taken a class, but due to a job change have been unable to keep up with my programming. I would just like to find a book to refresh from and learn some handy applications from possibly.

Thanks,
Dave

No specific titles in mind, but every book I've used by Wrox Press was very good.

I think Visual Basic is too easy of a language to buy books for. I learned by downloading sample source from Planet Source Code and checking out the syntax. I've never taken a course, or read any books about it, and I consider myself pretty well knowledgable.

Books take the fun out of learning.
