VB Books in Australia?Can anyone in Australia suggest some good VB6 books. My searches have only
thrown up (or is that thrown down?) VB 2005, which is nothing to do with what I want.

In Loving Memory - http://www.vbsight.com/Remembrance.htm Hi,
Most of the books that Ken points to, via Amazon.com, will ship to AU (I ship my book there, for example). However, some may not. You can view the shipping rates link to make sure. If they do ship there, buying through Amazon [probably] is cheaper than ordering locally.

The cover was attached upside-down to the contents, so Dymocks cut the price in half - their loss, my gain Argusy Aalaan wrote: Show quoteHide quote > Not up to your usual standard Mike! > > "Mike Williams" <m***@whiskyandCoke.com> wrote in message > news:e8jhOzDYHHA.4612@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > >>"Aalaan" <veryinva***@invalid.com> wrote in message >>news:45edb8c7$1@dnews.tpgi.com.au... >> >> >>>Can anyone in Australia suggest some good VB6 books. >> >>Why don't you just buy an English book and turn it upside down? ;-) >> >>Mike >> >> >> > > > Thanks for that. Amazon was out unless I could find ISBNs from it. My son
gave me a book token for A&R and they will order anything in that's in print in Australia. I want to use $100. I would class myself as very much a beginner.

are standing on our heads (turn an English VB book upside down). The book I referred to really does have the cover put on upside down - maybe some bookbinder in Sams thought they had to put the covers on the wrong way for the Australian market. It is a good book, though, along with the other eleven books I've got on VB6. I usually find something useful in at least one of them, when I'm having a problem. I don't know which of the VB6 books I'd toss in your direction, though, for a newbie, as none of them cover everything I needed to know to get my progams running.

This seems to provide a few links.http://flus.cheapbooks.com/search_director.cgi?query=Visual+Basic+6&x=0&y=0 It's very strange that querying for the following failed to turn up the same thing as above. Visual+Basic VB Both of those queries turned up results like each other but not anything Visual Basic 6. Very weird. Hope it helps. -- Jim Carlock Post replies to the group. Thank you Jim. I already have Visual Basic Complete. I have recorded the
