Lyns i've got a good vb book at home it's so good i can't remember the name of it! I can let you have a little browse through it next time I see you if you like and you can decide for yourself if it's any good. Of course I don't mind If you want to hang onto it for a while.

You forgot the most important book Pat how about "A book by Pat" that's got to be the best any day!

I personally use Access 2002 VBA Handbook by Susann Novalis and Dana Jones. Published by Cybex. It's $60.00 but it does come with a CD (not that I use the CD). I use it often as a resource book. Especially when dealing with ADO/DAO. (It's just too hard to remember the exact format for everything I try to do. *would kill for photographic memory* )

Of course I think I use the Access Help files a ton more then any of my books (and they're free).

While we're on the subject of good books I am just about to enroll on a course to learn web development anyone know any good books for this to get me started?

Thanks
Hay

ps Pat don't give up on it eveyone on this forum respects you and you have a way of puting things accross to people to help them understand far better than most books!

Hayley,

In your first response to this thread you mentioned that you had a good book on vb but couldn't remember what it was. Can you post its title?

Sure no problem I'll look into this for you tonight and tell you tomorrow. It got me through my course successfully anyway now that must have been a hard job!

The book is called Visual Basic, A complete Course by Phil Jones. It's around HND level so it's good for people starting out with VB.
