      • Speaking as someone who has used a number of different isotopes of Basic over the years, I have to say that I think Visual Basic 2005 is not particularly intuitive. No doubt there are reasons for various changes that hvae been made, probably to do with Net use, but I find that the language seems unecessarily convoluted and is missing many useful commands, features and procedures that were availabl
