[AccessD] Visual Basic 2008 Express & VB.NET

Paul

...before you buy a book (Susan will kill me for this) try the MS dotnet 
learning site first ...they have literally dozens of free walk though videos 
with downloadable code ...a step above the normal quality for MS ...I've got 
hundreds of books collecting dust from other products over the years but not 
one on VS2008 so far even though its now my full time development 
environment (with the exception of legacy Access dbs that I still support 
and am working on converting) ...point being that imnsho, the quality and 
accessibility of free and low cost on-line learning resources now makes most 
tech books obsolete ...and I'd be the first to admit I love books.
