Default Visual Basic tutorial: Which version?

I decided this evening to look for an online tutorial and start learning VB
properly. I didn't get pass first base as I see there are different versions.
I see there is VB6 and VB2008. I'm using Office 2007 now, 2010 soon, so which
version should I learn and what are the differences? Ideally, I'd like to
find a modulised tutorial that starts out at beginning level and progresses
through the advanced levels.

Suggestions?

Thanks :-)

Depending on what you want to do, VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) might be
your best best, as it's built into all Office versions since 1997 (ignoring
wayward Mac versions for the moment).

It's quite similar to VB5 and VB6; most of the fundamentals you learn about
either of them will also apply to VBA in Office.

There's a fair bit of beginner's stuff at http://www.pptfaq.com in the
Programming PowerPoint section. A lot of it is specific to PowerPoint but quite
a bit applies more generally.
