JC,

You can download my BASIC Techniques book for free. It's not specific to
VB/DOS, but it's a very detailed *advanced* reference for compiled BASIC in
general. Look here:

As Ethan suggested, download his book as the best info on the core Basic
language.

I don't know of any source for training info on the forms package, and you
may not want to use that anyway. The forms engine lets you do quick and
easy user interfaces, but it is buggy internally so I wouldn't recommend it
for critical applications. MS promised publicly (and me personally) that
they would release a patch but they never did and never will.

If you want to use forms, most of it is self explanatory if you know how to
get around a little in VB for Win.

If you choose not to use the forms engine (programming procedurally like
Ethan's book covers) you will find that VBDOS is a solid environment.
Without the forms engine it is the next release of the Basic PDS package.

There's a TUTORIAL option under Help in the VBDOS menu bar.
