VB Training

[Mavver]

Hello all

I have finally managed to convince the company I work for to invest some time and money into me and my training, and as such I was hoping that someone in the UK could reccomend any suitable training courses that could take someone with years of playing about with access and excel usage into the next step of more formal VB.

Any tips would be gratefully recieved.

Hmm this put's you in an interesting posistion. VBA is a subset of VB6 which was the last generation of VB prior to VB.NET. Many (most) of the new VB.NET features are not found in VBA and will not be until apx 2009 (unless you are buying the 2008 version for Mac.)
So the question is... Are you looking to expand into stand alone applications, are are you looking to further/formalize your understanding of VBA?

I think it is going to be the later, I have done some coding mainly stolen from titbits here and there on various forums, I think I need some formal training in VBA in general rather than specific version.

Ta for replying btw

i did some training with learntree a few years back.

they were awful, but ymmv.

i think its cheap when they team two people up one one machine.

it simply saves them h/w costs (and at the prices they charge thats penny pinching) and it usually means the "better" of the pair either passes on bad habits, or the weaker of the pai simply doesn't benefit from being in the calss at all.

I got nothing from them, (except a certificate) that was back in 2k2 tho.
