VB Programmer Guide
-
I have the VB4 Programmer's Guide and Reference. I was wondering whether it was accurate enough to use for learning VB6 as well. I have some knowledge in VB6 and have used it before, but I'd like to take the time and really get into it inside out, will these books do or are they not updated/thorough enough? What other books would you suggest? Thanks. Isaac Sasson, Small time programmer - complainer at large. Sonork ID 100.13704

Make sure it references the 32-bit version of VB4. Also, the major things introduced in VB5 were native code compilation and the AddressOf operator. Outside of that, you'll find many things are (mostly) the same as far as the language goes. When I was learning VB, I started with the learning edition, which came with some videos that got me going. I bought three books (they're old now)... VB Explorer, VB Secrets, and a MCSD exam prep book. However, the best resource is the Internet! Good luck. Jeremy L.

Not to seem pushy or anything, but have you considered just learning VB.NET instead of VB6? Nick Parker

Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Step by Step from Microsoft Publishing. Trust me, it's really good :). I used it to learn a lot of VB, though you could probably abandon it 3/4 of the way and start learning on your own.
