I have a good background in VBA and also created some small apps in VB6, no .NET though (not an issue with Real Studio, right?!) I see several books at Amazon.com, but they're all at least 5 years old, so I don't know how applicable they would be to the current version. I was also considering a subscription to the Real Studio Developer magazine. Mostly what I do involves working with text data files downloaded from bigger systems at car dealerships, but I'll probably be getting involved with SQL Server and Access databases down the road.

There are quite a number of locations available... definitely would not recommend any of the books unless you are using an old version of Real Studio as it will lead to confusion. Bob Keely (apology on name spelling bob ) also offers lessons on his website that you may find quite valuable. _________________ Matthew A.

I also just subscribed to Real Studio Developer magazine, and I'll check out the other sources you mentioned. Thanks for the help.
