Exactly. Have fun trying and trying to get the syntax correct. It's not just slapping a bunch of commands together, books I read define this as programming: A list of commands to get a computer to do something
This is not correct. Things have to be placed in a specific order so it all makes sense. And an error we get all the time in vb 6: end without if or whatever. Things have to be typed exactly, if you forget, for example to put end if at the end of a check then... This is off topic, all I mean is, that it's difficult, it's Mr. Sadler's first game, so, cut him some slack guys!
