Hi Thomas, You know in the IDE of the VB6 part of Visual Studio besides the auto complete there is also that it will instantly inform you of many little programming errors. You know like a missing parentheses etc. And then there is the integrated help system. You know, just press the f1 key to get the syntax, an example etc of the command that you are having trouble with.
You know every since I started programming in Basic back in 1980, I have always programmed in the IDE. The main reason for me is that like in VB6 I type in a couple of lines of code and press the f5 key to run the program and test the new lines of code. I just would not be happy typing in a bunch of lines of code in Note Pad or whatever, then running a command line compiler and coming up with errors and going what, where, why. Any who programming in the IDE has always worked well for me. BFN Jim I am using BASIC, because I don't want to be C-sick. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
