VB vs. VBA - dumb question; please humor me
I am a longtime VBA developer with advanced skills, but my experience with VB is very limited. What's the quickest way for me to learn to work with queries and tables in VB? I need to create an executable that will perform actions similar to those already implemented in a MSAccess app so it can run as part of a process on a server where MSOffice/Access is not installed.

The very first thing to do: make sure that you are learning VB.Net and not VB6. Despite the similar names, they are very different beasts :)

I'm even less experienced with VB .net, alas...
The quickest way to learn VB is to start using it! :)
Install Visual Studio and buy a beginner book and start making something. You will have some doubts, some questions, that you can post for instance here at EE. The book will help you understand the principles of VB .Net. With a bit of practise you will see that it's not so hard to make the jump from VBA.

Do you already use ADO in VBA?
Then there is no much difference between VBA and VB6. Only in making the connection to you database
Some questions
Do you want to use early or late binding?
Do you want to use as DSN?
If you don't know what this mean just ask.
Then I can give an example code. Or you could post a part of you VBA code you want in VB.
