VB For Dummies...
Greetings all! I have spent quite some time using this site to try and help teach myself VB 6. And I must say, I have found this site to be very helpful. But after all that searching around, I would like to know if someone can point me in the direction of an e-book That would be equal to VB For Dummies? I really just want to get a good grasp on this language before I move on to C++ and so on. I would love to have a list of all the different pieces of code, like Dim, If, Then, etc, that explains what each one is for, and how to use it. If no one knows of anything like this out there, then maybe a few of us can get together and compile something like this and post it for everyone to use as a sort of crib note?
Thanks in advance for your help with this question.

The best help you can use is the MSDN Library even thou its a crap layout. If you don't have it then you have a pirate copy of VB6, and no you can't download it. A good place to look is eBay.
The other very simple function for VB code is open VB and press F2 for Object Browser. That will list all the keywords that VB uses with a brief explanation, at the bottom.
