Actually I can scrape it together, I have a kidney I haven't sold yet and won't mind if it gets me into coding.

Is any of the coding that I would learn writing vbs portable to other methods such as c/c++ or python, do you know, either in ways of thinking, syntax etc.

I know you'd think I'd have a clue, but when it comes to coding I'm so cherry you could put me in a bowl and squirt cream on top and I wouldn't look out of place !

Ah good ole vb6...I pretty much gave up on that one, after converting our code from vb6 to .NET, I quickly found out how much crap you could do in vb6 and get away with it.

I would say if you want to learn something I agree with Valmont that Java or .NET would be the direction to go. My perference is .NET, but like I said before Java didn't strike my interest.
