That isn't a program. It's a Visual Basic Workspace file.
You need to compile the program - click Make in the File menu.

Do you have the FREE version of vb5? You can't compile with that.
What do you have?

Not sure... VBScript itself is easy. But along with learning VB you also have to learn windows programming and loads of API and stuff. While PHP is limited to less commands and such. I learned PHP really quickly and found it easier than VB. But I'm talking more about an in depth knowledge... not just making a rs client and calling it quits. RS clients are really easy and you only have to know a little VBScript syntax to know how to make one (you'd also need knowledge of the VB IDE somewhat of course).

Hah. Then he really didn't learn it. He prolly just made some simply app and stopped.
HTML is a whole different category. Not nearly as hard. HTML is just a simple set of tags parsed by browsers, not a programming language.
But javascript would be a good step after html. It's not a application programming language, but the way it looks is similar. Of course, you could also use VBScript in ur web pages instead of javascript. VBScript is easier. Web languages are a good start before application programming language. After javascript... maybe PHP would be good.
