Paul, The Express products are a slimed down versions of the full product. They are not quite the same. VB Express though unlike some of the other languages (ie. C#), has a good portion of what's in the full product. The IDE is almost the same for example. I'm just getting in to VB2008 myself and picked up Pro VB 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform by Andrew Troelsen, published by Apress. I just started working through it, so I can't provide a lot of feedback on it yet, but it seems to and cover all the fundamentals and will be a good starting point.

I have downloaded Visual Basic 2008 Express edition, is this Visual Basic the same as VB.NET. If so would you recommend that I but a book on VB.NET or Visual Basic 2008. Also any good recommendations of book etc to start learning from scratch ? -- Paul Hartland paul.hartland at googlemail.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
