I assume as VB programmer you know enough to be able to read Matt 
Neuburg's RealBasic Definitive Guide. It is by far the most 
comprehensive of the lot. I found it indispensible once I understood 
what Matt was writing about (I basically learned OOP with it and RB). 
Lots of detail and working through some of the more arcane nooks & 
crannies of RB. Also exposes a good number of bugs (undo***ented 
features) But it was a tough beginning... mainly because he works with 
snippets of code rather than complete examples & his expose of RB's 
object model is a bit lengthy & (for my taste) sometimes a bit 
convoluted. Ultimately however, I found wisdom & truth in most of what 
he has written in TDG.

The others I know & have are Eric Tejkowski's RB for Dummies and another 
one I think by PeachPit Press. Both of these are quite basic, & at least 
Tejkowski's doesn't even cover menues, IIRC. They did help me initially, 
though, to get going.
