[AccessD] Access to VB.Net

You quit too soon, then, Joe.  I program full-time in .Net and I have a
terrible time going back to VBA because I keep trying to do things I
just can't do in that language!  LOL

It was enough to drive me out of regular professional development.

You will enjoy the power of .Net, it truly is awesome (and frustrating -
the learning curve).

Enjoy,

Yes John, I think (after reading all the comments posted and then
applying all that advice to my personal circumstance) that your advice
is sound.
So, I will obtain VS2005 and take it from there.
Many thanks

Max,

I would go with the Visual Studio 2005.  It has vb.net as well as the
other visual languages - C#.net, asp.net etc.  You could go with vb.net
however...

The vb.Net standalone has some important limitations.  It is designed as
an "introduction" to the .net environment to suck programmers (and non
programmers) in.  There are some slight syntax and capability
differences that will prevent your using the results should you need the
higher powered suite.

I own both and have worked in both but now focus on the Visual Studio
side since I discovered the limitations.  VB.Net is FREE, however as you
are looking to actually use the results the "free" is not a good
compromise for you I think.

Can I ask for some advice please.
I have been looking at getting VB.Net software and all I can find is
either Visual Studio 2005 or VB 2005.  Which one do I go for?  Is there
something other than these two that I have missed?
All I want is the VB.Net stuff so that I can start to learn how to
convert my existing apps to vb.net

Many thanks
Max
