Follow-up January 2010: I have finally found a used copy via Amazon
Marketplace for £4, which arrived this morning in very good condition,
though minus the CD, which I knew already was missing. This is the
"Visual Basic Language Developer's Handbook" as opposed to the "VBA
Developer's Handbook", however the contents appear to be identical.

It is a very useful reference to VB6 and VBA.

What Sybex appear to have done back in 2000 is take the entire "VBA D.
H." and stick a new cover around it and sell it as "Visual Basic
Language D. H."!

May have sold some more copies, I suppose!

Yes, but instead of reading programming books all the time, this is what you
should be doing:

Brilliantly enjoyable. A simple but beautifully engineered Flash game
created by a true artist, rather than a programmer :-)

I never play computer games. They bore me to tears.

I'm like that with real games . . . football, basketball, etc, etc. They
bore me to tears. But computer games are different. Many are rubbish of
course, but some of them are great fun :-) Do you remember fun?
