Visual Basic 6 Essentials & Beyond (3 Days)

Brief Outline:

Visual Basic (VB) can be used as a development tool that allows you to create your own ‘stand-alone’ applications and many others.

Visual basic gives you the ability to create accounting applications, motel booking systems, job estimating systems etc with a standard Windows interface, controls, keyboard shortcuts and other common elements.

By the end of the course, you will have created a typical application, complete with installation routines, error trapping and reporting commands, and even its own 'splash' (start-up) screen.
