I am going through a book on VB that uses visual studio 2003, using visual basic 2005 express edition. But it seems that in express edtion the user is unable to create a solution within which multiple projects can reside.
There is no option in templates to create a solution in express edition, is this right or am I doing something wrong TIA

You've got that right :)
However it is possible to install VB Express with VS Professional: they don't appear to 'corrupt' one another, based on comparisons with another machine with just VB Express, and another machine with just VS Pro.

You cannot create a solution from scratch (I believe), but you can add multiple projects and 'create' a solution.
you can see some additional overall differences between versions (Express, Standard, Pro, etc.) here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare/default.aspx
