[Year 12 SofDev] Difference between VB.Net (Express Edition)andVB.NET

[Kim Hewlett]

Thanks to all the people who responded.

The reason why I asked if there was a difference - I was using the
worksheets supplied on SiMERR web site and had a bit of trouble with some of
the instructions for linking to the database using the full version of
VB.NET. I have managed to do it but with the help of other resources. Even
in the first folio I had problems finding the 'Click' event for a textbox in
code view. 

Is it me or have others found this?

We are using VE.NET 2005 express and can do everything plus more that we 
need to meet yr12 Sof Dev requirements including accessing and updating 
databases.
BTW we found a terrific tutorial site for both versions of VB.NET at 
www.homeandlearn.co.uk
That site has tutes on Excel and Word and more. If the VB tute is any 
guide they also will be easy to read and follow with clear explanations 
of functions.
