Lee,

According to what I have been told Visual Basic is the most popular
(in terms of units sold) development environment in the world.  

I use both VC++, VB, and Access on a daily basis and find that VB is
easier than VC for general apps.  However, VC++ lets you did much more
advanced development.  So, if you are building general apps that the
use "Standard forms" or some things that can be provided by VBXs or
OCXs try Visual Basic or Access (if it DB oriented).  If you need to
develop more advanced apps or are planning on shipping to markets
where speed and size are major concerns you may want to look at Visual
C++.

Have fun,

Jerry
