I'm going to check these out... Actually, I got the WMI code from scouring Excel forums for ways to identify computers for app licensing. To enhance my use of it I got Scriptomatic and WMICodeCreator to use for resources. I got started with classic VB as a result of expanding my VBA to COMAddins. My resource for getting started was F. Balena's "Programming Visual Basic 6.0". There was mention of a website called "VB2TheMax" which kinda disappeared into dotnet land. I also spent a lot of time studying Brad Martinez's examples, and Karl Petersen's stuff. Otherwise, I owe a lot of gratitude to many folks from these forums who have contributed greatly to my growth in my quest to become a VB programmer. I think I'm still a newbie in most respects and so it seems like my journey is a very long one. Also, I have Lou Gehrig's and so there's a limited amount of energy to invest each day, but I push myself onward as best I can. That said, I'm extremely grateful when people step up to assist my learning by any measure. -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion
