Description
This volume provides programming information, with quick information on the syntax and commands VB programmers use on a daily basis. It covers all three incarnations of the VB language: Visual Basic, VB Script and VB for Applications (VBA). Microsoft's Visual Basic 5.0 has become one of the most efficient tools for creating high-performance applications for the Windows OS. With over three million programmers developing with it, and Microsoft's continual push to improve and expand the product, VB and its subsets are quickly becoming the language of choice for programmers in every realm of the computer industry. The language has proven itself in development of applications in the areas of office productivity, databases and the Internet. There is a useful comparison of which commands are available in VB's subsets, what the equivalents and corollary commands are, and when to use them. These are arranged alphabetically for fast-finding.
