Recommend a beginner's book for Visual Basic

[Carol Anne Miller]

I would like to hear these suggestions, too.  Ideally a book that could be 
called "Visual Basic for the Non-Programmer."  I'd just like to feel that I 
can easily write macros in various programs that use VB or something based 
on it.  Everytime I've looked into books about VB, they seem to be aimed at 
such a different audience that can't even get a foothold.  It's hard to 
explain what the problem is, but I know I've never found a book that helped 
me.  The E-prime manual is probably more helpful than most.
