microsoft visual basic, to clarify

Are you looking to do something in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or Visual Basic.NET There is quite a difference.

Are you looking to customise MS Office applications or similar or build stand alone programmes?

Excel comes with VBA built in and there is quit a bit you can do with it . I spent the better half of last winter programming excel to act like a data collector . you can create visual buttosn and combine VB with everything excel does . I got stuck trying to get it read the instrument , I could not find any good code or examples for this to work . Maybe one day . Think about being able to customize your data collector .

Why not start where it all started.
Microsoft

What exactly are you trying to learn? I've probably programmed in 10 different flavors of BASIC over the last 30 years - including a super-computer. But I haven't done any VBA in probably 10 or so years.

... and for 5 extra credit points: what does BASIC stand for?
5 more: ASCII
5 more: EBCDIC

(no fair looking up)

All the MS Office components have VBA built in.
You can even use it inside web sites like Java script. Only IE supports it last time I messed with it. IE version 5 if memory serves correctly.
