Correct, but not getting to far off the subject, VB's problem is the OS it's based on. I also do not believe VB has a 30 yr history like C, and is basically MS interpretation of C. C++ is another story in itself. History has shown, MS interpretations lead to further problems so there is something to be said for what some believe is speed, and easy of use. Are you thinking from a development stand point of view. What about what the client ends up getting? If it's quick to develop, it's usually safe to say there will be issues the user will experience. So I do not believe in the quick buck, so to speak. MS has done a good job of pulling the wool over the world's eyes and making up depend on things that are not stable and reliable. > Nothing is perfect, but the RaQs are the best tool I have found easy web and > email serving. True, and as developers I believe it's our responsibility to comment for future improvement of the product no? Or just keep quite and let further people suffer? -- Sincerely, William L.
