Xchange is probably the best program to start with. It includes:
Quill - Wordprocessor
Abacus - Spreadsheet
Easel - Business Graphics (charts)
Archive - Database with programming language
Xchange allows taskswapping between applications. You can have two
documents, a spreadsheet, and a database open all at one time and swap
between them. You can find Xchange on any number of QL software
pages. See Thierry's page first:

Quite right, not ready for prime time yet.

SuperBasic is really a nice language. Going from VB to SuperBasic should
be fairly easy. You can find lots of SB resources on the net. See Dilwyn
Jone's page or my page for documentation (we're both listed at the above URL).
There is a freeware SB compiler called Turbo. It's fairly good. It should
be able to handle all that you need for now (plus you can't beat the price).
