[AccessD] VB.NET

Just completed a 1-week course on VB.NET.  IMHO, almost every pain
associated with VB6 has been addressed in the current release.  Clearly a
steeper learning curve than prior releases (they added something like 26
keywords to the syntax), but MUCH more powerful.

I'm looking forward to developing my first .NET app shortly.
