Well i already got basic...VERY basic vb6 knowledge...i am waiting for my book to come in the mail...STILL and can't wait to check it out...everyone's arguements and points had gotten me excited to check it out myself!

Yes i do know i need to learn vba but personally i feel like vb6 or vb.net would be way better as you said jonneypoet vba is only a tool...screw tools! i want the good stuff! lol so yah i think i might grab vba later on
