Tell ya learn how to program you don't really need to worry about exe's anyway. You have to really shell out the cash with the good vb versions like pro and enterpirse.. Then another version comes out and you get to shell out all that cash all over again.. A never ending process of you making good ole bill gates just a lil richer lol

If your interested in becoming a programmer the best thing ya can do is learn the programming process in visual basic then move right on to c++ as soon as ya learn it. I mean after you know the process of programming... all languages are the same .. Just syntax is different. So basicly learning cpp is like referencing the syntax more then learning how to program after ya got vb down.
