I had tried with VB Express but had quickly ditched it for VB6 from EBay. There were several things about VB Express; it lacks several features like Package Deployment which I require. I don't remember all the other reasons why I dropped it, but I "REALLY" didn't like it.
Check out EBay for VB6, there were several cheap auctions for the academic versions of VB6. I ended up getting the full corporate version for just a bit more, with all the manuals and tutorials.
Here's a NEW package for $125USD:
