Of course, the only reason VB.net carries the .net is to differentiate it from VB6 and earlier. The earlier VB variants using native Win32 API. In contrast, VB.net and C# (which looks to my eye like a C/C++ that was reverse-infected by Java) both rely upon the so-called "managed" common language runtime ("It's NOT the JVM!") that came in with the .NET scheme. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com http://wlfraed.microdiversity.freeddns.org/
