Hi,
I'm new to VB6 and need a place to get started. I have been using VFP for a few years now, and I have come to like the visual sub-classing. Can anyone point me toward a Web reference that would explain some of the features of VB6.0 and how to use them?

Specifically, I need to get up to speed on
1. how to "subclass" objects. (A VFP term. I can't figure out how to do it in VB6, so my terminology may be off.) So that I can start with, say, a regular Textbox, and make my own subclass which carries the code with it.
2. how to use Databases with VB. I know that I can use Access tables, but I don't know how to do anything with them short of displaying them in a grid. (compliments of a VB sample.)
3. any other features that would make it worth while to learn VB instead of staying with VFP. (I have seen some, but the work to get them seems like more work that it is worth.)

I don't have much money to spend on books, so something that I can D/L and print would be great.

Thanks in advance.
Ben Keene
