Hello List!

I am scratching the surface of Visual Basic.  I have read a lot on the list
about incorporating VB Script into web pages. I am confused. Could some of
you seasoned 'puter people help me out with distinctions between:

1) Visual Basic;

2) VBA (Visual Basic for Applications); and

3) VB Script.

It seems obvious that one would choose from the three depending upon the
environment, application, etc. Where would the best starting place be? If I
jump in to VB Script (for web development), will I be able to use that
knowledge when I turn to VBA or Visual Basic to write other code? Are the
reserved words, syntax, etc. different? What are the biggest snags to watch
out for?

TIA,

Michael
