TOTALLY NEW TO PROGRAMMING!!!! Need Advice Please :-)
Hi, I would say start to learn VB.NET, VB6 is an "old" language, now that
everything is changing. ActiveX and COM components are dead, and VB.NET
takes advantage of the new CLR (common-language runtime) and of course the
.NET framework. Not to mention the more powerful coding.

Remember: There's no place like 127.0.0.1
