I don't know where you could get any books at no cost, but Amazon.com has used copies of "Visual Basic 6 How to Program" by Deitel & Deitel, for $6.50 + freight. This is pretty close to free, and, since it teaches the way I learn best, I think it's it's a good value. It tells you what it's going to teach you then shows you the code to make it work. It comes with a CD, and references you to a couple of web sites.
Good luck, vbKermitD -------------------- KermitD
