[AccessD] VBExpress videos

William,

Apparently Express is a simplified version of the one that comes in the
Visual Studio.  As for the videos being useful, I think mostly yes.  The
videos are about how to manipulate the various windows, the controls, the
forms etc.  All that is pretty much just like the version in Visual Studio.

My email was aimed at those lost souls (like myself) who either have never
managed to really "get there" with Visual Studio, or never even purchased it
because of the expense.  VBExpress is free (for the beta which is very
stable) and will be $50 when released at the end of the year.

..how is this different than the VB.Net that comes with Visual Studio 
Tools? ...since MS compels me to pay for the standard version of VB.net in 
order to get the equivalent of the old ODE, why might I want to go the 
VBExpress route instead?

..and are the videos of use in the VB.net ide?
