Visual Basic 6 Enterprise Edition. In between the learning edition and the enterprise version is the 'Professional' edition.

I don't use Visual Studio 6 at all. I use Delphi

Davie,

Take a look at Visual Basic 6 Enterprise Edition for the all singing, all dancing. However, Professional version is probably more suited. Last time I was in PC World they were selling Professional and one of the "learning VB" books (Microsoft Press book, I think) as a package for OK money. Might be a good place to start.

Cheers

You'll find that some of the 'teach yourself vb in X days' books come with a cut down version of VB in so you can learn on that and then splash out 1000's on Bill Gates.

Wouldn't recommend you learn VB6 - version 7 is out now, called .net. You can download it for free - the .Net framework, but if you want an IDE you'd have to pay for it.

Actually it looks like there's a free IDE called Sharp Develop.
