Hey,
Man I look at all these replies and posts and I can't figure out HALF the stuff that is being said. How did you all get so good in this?

I want to be a good programmer but man I don't know how to program API's and stuff like that... I WANT to know complex things, but is there a good place to go that teaches you how to use different parts of VB efficiently and easily? SUCH as API's?

you could try http://www.allapi.net/. They also have some neat software for downloading that lists a lot of APIs, along with declarations and example code.

Actually someone gave told me about that program... and i have it, but how do u get examples from it?

[rudgej]

I was referring to their API-Guide. Check that you've got the latest version (3.6.630), and on the left you've got the option to display a list of APIs alphabetically, or sorted by group. Select an API, and on the right, you have a number of tabs - so click the example tab.

Check http://www.allapi.net/agnet/apiguide.php for some screenshots.

Practice makes perfect, i do a fair bit of practice, but i'm still not a very good programmer
