Visual Basic 2008
Ok, so i have started learning the programming language visual basic like 3 months ago, and now i know all the basics. I just had a specific thing i wanted to learn. Is there a way to start a program with a text message with vb 2008 express edition?

well if you aren't a programmer then i forgive you
lol
Sorry Mike, I'm a C/C++ developer. I don't do VB.
I am not a programmer (not my profession) but I wrote few projects with VB though the last time I used VB was back in 2002. Since that time I only use what's known as RAD programs for developing multimedia projects.
If mastered VB helps you produce neat powerful programs. There are things in VB that are advanced like API calls (they're named differently now) and database(s) handling. These functions are currently stronger and easier to work with.
What helps a lot is to see how others write their programs - and definitely good books and tutorials. I think you can find a lot of info in these links:

You need to understand few important keyboard codes, the controls used in VB, their attributes and how to use the VB conditional and loop structures. Good luck!
