The last time I used VB (version 6), it took me a way too much work for the same thing I wanted to do in Delphi. And .NET contain some very scary features for everyone (It actually execute your code in design time, so if I'll open a form, it will execute everything in it's functions that regarding the open and display things, and I can do some nasty things with it). And it's not portable for other OS's. and IMHO, VB should have died so long ago in the 80's when it syntax became obsolete. Ido > > > Sincerely, > Alex C.
