Only if your client/employer has signed in blood that they have read
and understood this document

Visual Basic "Classic" was probably the last in a line of BASIC
languages that made computer programming easy for beginners. I don't
think that it is a good language to teach yourself about programming
although it has the great advantage that you can produce a fancy GUI
with the minimum effort. In addition, given its doomed future, it
seems a waste of your time learning it now.
