Hi Michelle,

I am sorry what happened to you.
You may consider Access development too. In this case Ken Getz is the best author, though Alison Balter is pretty good too.
On Internet I would recommend: http://www.mvps.org/access/ and Access Pearls from Saicom: http://www.saicomsystems.com/index.asp?id=tips

HTH, Igor

>Hi everybody. I haven't been around in a while. I did something really stupid. I left a good, comfortable job to take a chance on what seemed like a dream job. It turned out to be a nightmare.

>So, now I'm unemployed. There isn't a big FoxPro market in my area, so I'm going to have to find some new skills. Most comapnies around here do Visual Basic or C++. I think I'd have a better chance teaching myself VB, so that's the direction I'm headed.

>What I'm posting this for is to see if anyone has any suggestions on the best way to get up to speed in VB in a short amount of time. My husband has a couple VB5 books. Is VB6 close enough to 5 that they're usable, or do I need to get something more recent? Any good books for people that already know a visual language?
>
>I know any search engine would turn up thousands of VB resources, but I'm coming here because I want the opinion of fellow Foxers, not some reviewer that thinks VB is the be all and end all of languages. I know, first thing I need to do is lose the negative attitude towards VB. :)

>Any (helpful) suggestions on what I should do, VB or other, would be appreciated. I don't have much in savings, so whatever I do I need to do quick.

>Thanks,
