Rick, you can still make use of the internationalization features built into the xml file in WE from vb.net, you don't have to be using VBScript. (at least as far as the strings section go). You can even use the XML dialogs as far as I know, although you may prefer the dialogs available to you in vb.net. Chip

I'll take a look at that option as soon as I can get back to scripting. My LanguageConversion VB.net Program is working but, grin, I am getting more gray hairs trying to globalize it! I don't like the entire process and think it should be something where a end-user can perform translation when they first install a script and not something the Scriptor does before hand. That said, what a pain! I like the way you handle the Language Elements rather than having to handle a bunch of Resource Files as used in Visual Studio - it's cleaner and easier to maintain. I am almost leaning twoard a complete ReWrite in VBScript just to use the Language Elements rather than using the Visual Studio Resource Files or hand rolling my own Globalization Handler.The only thing keeping me from doing either is whether I want to create something where the end user can select a language without the original scriptor having to have had set up the script before hand. I am thinking on how that might work. There are many languages and it would be easier and cleaner to allow a end user to pick one rather than having a bunch of pre-defined languages built into a App. The same goes for my stand-alone LanguageConverter VB.net project. But, I don't like to ReInvent the wheel and you and Microsoft seem to have setteled in on the existing method of handling Globalization and Localization likely for pretty good reasons, so... Later and thanks: Rick USA ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron Smith <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 9:25 AM Subject: Re: User Help Dialogs On 5/22/2011 11:30 AM, RicksPlace wrote: Hi: I want to have help dialogs for each page, form, a user might encounter. I also think it cool to allow users to modify the Help File if they have any personal notes or insights. Rather than reinventing the wheel, this would be a time to take advantage of the Window-Eyes context sensitive help feature, which allows you to take notes and save them for any window (even a specific control).
