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

[Charmaine Taylor]

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.
