Visual Basic really doesn't compare to Borland C++, but it does have its 
advantages.  It's very easy to learn and use.  You can create buttons, dialog
boxes, list boxes, etc. and link code to them with ease.  If you plan to make a
small Windows app with very little turnaround time, VB is the way to go.  I'm
using both BC++ and VB.  Of course, being the programming weenie that I'm, I
prefer BC++, but when our customers want a very quick turnaround time, I can
get it done with VB in less than a day.  Honestly, I think VB is good for 
those who really don't want to deal with the overwhelming capabilities of
BC++.  

In a nutshell, VB is very good but if you have the time and the knowledge, 
BC++ is the best way to go.  

Of course this is just my opinion...whatever it's worth.
Hope this helps.
Mario
