Question for the Programmers Reading This:

[willow_red]

I'm going to need to learn Visual Basic for work. Part of my job will be figuring out some old code and (hopefully) fixing it, as well as developing new code. This will be both VBA within Excel and freestanding applications. I want to pick up a book this week to start teaching myself VB. Which book do you recommend? I looked up the O'Reilly books online, and it looks like there are several for VB, so I'm not sure which one to get.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Most programmers hate and loathe VB. Asking us for a "good book" on VB is like asking us for a "good book" on stabbing yourself in the crotch.

That said, I think Nick has done some VB in the past, so I'm curious if he has any recommendations.
