Get a used copy. The Step-By-Step books are good for beginners but you will out grow it fairly quickly so don't spend a whole lot of money.
(Although, when you do outgrow it, you can always go to Amazon and offer it up as Used. :) )
If you are that new to VB6, why not skip it completely and move over to VB .Net?:)
Hmm. May buy it soon, after I get new computer. :)
Thanks for the suggestion.
I got a book called 'Visual Basic for Applications' (VBA)
And Im buying a book called 'Visual basic in theory and practice'
Both is norwegian :)
Atheist, are you dream theater fan? hehe :p (sorry for off topic)
I'm gonna buy a 'Visual basic in theory and practice' for $12 :)
This is an excellent point.Quote:

If you are still at the point of being able to make this decision, then this suggestion merits serious consideration.
Yup, but I'm gonna buy while im buying new computer.Quote:

Well if my daughter plays that trick and we find out (which we will since we talk to each other) she pay a pretty stiff price.
Hehe.Quote:

Something is wrong with this computer. It cant get sp2.

The only thing you need to get VB.NET is a browser that will take you do Microsoft's download site.
If you don't have the software first, then there is nothing to apply a service pack to.
When its downloaded it says i need sp2 to install it.
Ohhhhh, I get you.
That is not referring to a service pack for Visual Studio. That is referring to a service pack for your OS.
Presumably you are running XP. SP2 for XP is what you need.
Before i re-formatted my computer, I cant download sp2 with windows update.
When i do, i cant login windows. (not even in safe mode)
So if i download sp2, i have to re-format my computer (again)
I don't understand where the reformatting came in.
At first I was running XP SP1, then 2 came out and I don't loaded it and just applied it. I didn't have to reformat anything.
Download a file, regardless of what it is, should have no bearing on logging into Windows.
If you can't log into windows, then downloading a service pack is the least of your problems.
If you have a genuine legal copy of XP then you just need to install the Genuine validator tool so you can proceed with the windows updates. Its Microsofts way of preventing pirate versions from getig updates.
Hmm. Maybe I got wrong installation cd?
Or maybe a virus were going to other computers in house via my router?
Same error came at all computers at same time.
And it was 3 computers.

From where did you get the installation CD?
My dad got it.
I think he got from his job or something :S
This does not sound like a legal copy. Did you dad just lift it from work?
I dont really know.
It would be best to find out.
Same error came at all my computers at same time.
And it was 3 computers.
It could have been a virus.
Do you have virus cleaning/checking software installed?
yes.
I got Spybot, Hijackthis, Officescan, Adaware 2007.
Thats enough, isnt it?
