Peter. Hi Peter I too am interested in this case and your approach. I came very late to VB6 and at 71 I find it becoming more and more intuitive. Although Micro$oft have dumped it in favour of dot.net (which is NOT intuitive and doesn't even have proper printer support) I love VB6. I started in 1980 and my first programs were on a TRS-80 in interpreter BASIC, which I taught myself. You talk about error messages that drive you mad. Well, there's nothing new under the sun. Back in the 1980s you would often get an error message in BASIC that said, literally, 'Too many lines in 295'! In fact, as I discovered purely by trial and error, that meant that meant that the floppy disc drive door was open! I moved on to QBASIC, which I though was magic with very fast compiling, and ran my engineering office with a networked application on DOS that never gave a hiccup. Then I was dragged kicking and screming into VB6. After a bit of a learning curve I am so glad I was. It's great. And you are so right to thank Mike. Despite the remarks of some here, Mike is an absolute VB6 expert and can spend hours putting people on the straight and narrow.
