Visual Basic

Does anyone know any good basic instructional sites for Visual Basic?

I'm designing a spreadsheet in Excel and thought it would be better if I was to use some Visual Basic for the input interface.

For example, I don't even know how to write a combobox yet, so I mean real basic sites.

Are you using the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which is basically the macro editor built into MS Office? Or are you using a full version of Visual Basic, like Visual Basic 6.0 or VB.NET 2003 or 2005? (Put another way, are you starting Visual Basic from the Start Menu, or from Excel by going to Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor?)

You can also use Access, as it has built in tools to create Forms for imputing data, and it is easer than programing it in Visual.

Granted if you are dealing with a lot of data (Like I do) it may take you some time to get the form working but in the end it makes the person editing and or entering the data happier

If you dont know access there are a lot of good on line guides, just google for them.
