I was used to Dos BAsed programming and had never used a mouse.
It was only when I saw VB5 that I got back into programming to me there was little transition from VB5 to VB6, But VB.NET scares me from what I have read on the forums, will I be able to cope with VB.NET???
I first looked at .NET with the 2002 version. It was so different from VB6 that I stayed away at first. Eventually though, I had to start into it because there was no other good VB solution for portable apps (PDAs, phones, etc.). Once I got started into it, I began to like it more and more, and now I would never willingly return to VB6. With the experience you have had, I suspect you will rapidly feel the same way. Change and new learning can always appear daunting, but in this case, many of the changes are for the better. One of the nicest is the IDE, which I find very helpful and well organized relative to VB6. Intellisense may be more necessary with .NET than it ever was before, but it is also a bit more effective, too. Also, don't get too hung up on Object Oriented, it is there to use as you choose. It's a useful thing, but you can ease into it.

Lastly, you have found a great resource for any help.
