The jump from COBOL to VB was a big jump for me. Although I had programmed in COBOL both in structured and unstructured code it's that Object Oriented stuff that gets you. I'm now fluid in VB and VBA and I enjoy it. I also teach VB at a local college on the side. They stopped teaching COBOL and I feel that that was a mistake as students can't learn the basic I/O from a Object Oriented language. So -- for you I would recommend taking a one semester class at a community college. This is how I picked it up -- I only attended 1/2 of the classes but I got the basic idea and understanding that I needed to make this jump. I'm not able to learn by myself from a book, I needed a structure class to jump start. Then I'm able to understand what I read in the other books that I purchase. The class used Programming in Visual Basic 6.0, Irwin McGraw-Hill ISBN 0-07-233513-0. I feel that this is a good starter book -- but once I got going I stopped using it and move on to better books by Microsoft Publishers. I have about 20 text books now that I will refer to when I need something. Good Luck.

I've been learning VB and .Net from the backdoor of MS Access design and ETL products I encountered while contracting.
I suggest downloading the appropriate Visual Studio Express edition for free and then head for the nearest 1/2 price book outlet. You should find some Wrox or Microsoft Press titles there.

Best books are Microsoft Press just like IBM manuals.
The invesment maybe worth to compete with high school kids in mass production of VB.
