    There's no Main() method on which you can change the threading model...

      Okay, we have John Simmons coding in VB and asking programming questions in the lounge. Would someone be kind enough to give me directions back to my own parallel universe? I'm sure I left the kettle on the stove, so I don't want to be away for too long...

      Should we start a betting pool? How many days before John goes "postal" in his new job. :)

        On the positive side, the average quality of questions in the VB forum has gone way up now. :)

                                I've just finished spending a few days writing a VB.NET prog that emulates a web GUI (so people can play with it and point and click to see what happens, but without spending a month installing and setting up the infrastructure). I have to say that I actually enjoyed it, but knowing that it would not need to be upgraded or maintained (or actually do anything) gave it a somewhat liberating feel. By the way, since you didn't ask a programming question, I won't mention hitting Alt+F7 and looking through the options, or creating hidden forms, or anything like that.

                                I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
