Hello. I have close to three years' experience with html/javascript/asp/vbscript/perl. So all of my experience to date has been through browsers.

For an upcoming project, I will need to use Visualbasic, which I understand is not necessarily through the browser, if at all.

So I wish to get some practice. How do I do this? I suppose if I had SQL server, I could write some Stored Procedures, which I understand are written in Visualbasic, and I could call them. But I don't have SQL server. What I have is MS Access, which doesn't have Stored Procedures.

How do I just play around and experiment with Visualbasic? What do I need to do?

Thank you.
