My goal is that you be able to function as a competent Visual Basic programmer in at the end of this book, and write useful programs. That means that I don’t go in depth into theory, or into advanced topics. However this book should provide you with the ground work necessary to move on to more advanced programming topics. While some of the code examples and lessons can be accomplished with Visual Basic 4, 5, or 6, much will require Visual Basic 6.0.
