I managed to learn enough about Pagemaker scripting from sample scripts so
that I could stumble around and pretty much script what I needed (with some
help from some very nice people here like Dave S. and Ole).

Now its time to do something about ID scripting. I'm using CS on a PC. I
know that one can use some sort of Visual Basic (I know nothing about it or
really about programming in general).

I have the professional version of Office 2003 (in fact, I have the whole
Action Pack which includes all kind of stuff). Do I have what I need, or do
I need to buy a version of Visual Basic? The most recent Action Pack update
includes a 60 day trial of Visual Studio.NET 2003, and also a
VisualBasic.net Resource Kit. The resource kit says that "working with
sample projects for Windows applications requires that Visual Basic.NET or
Visual Studio.NET is installed."

Can someone please give some guidance as to how to start -- if I have what I
need or not -- what I need to get if I don't have it, and how to go about
learning something?

Thank you very much.
