Visual Basic 6 help

    I am a final year Mechanical Engineering student and I am attempting to develop a computer programme as part of my dissertation.
    I have chosen to use Visual Basic as the programme bulider because I have a small amount of experience with it. I also like the ease in which a good looking user interface can be created.

    Unfortunately as a mechanical engineering student I have limited programming ability and I literally have 2 months to develop this programme :eek: . The programme its-self will be based on a wide range of mathematical equations and formula. I will be making use of (apart from the normal stuff) arrays, If Then Elseif statments, loops. Thats all I can think of so far.
    I have been looking for books on Visual Basic relating specifically to engineering and mathematical applications but I have had no luck.

    I would appreciate any help in relation to sourcing appropriate reading materials and/or ebooks or tutorials.

    On the contrary as a mechanical engineering student you have an understanding of some of the most important principles of programming: testing, making complex systems from simple components, the importance of design etc.

    I recommend some VB forums e.g. VBForums and The Code project for specific questions and a book like Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 for the general how-tos..
