            Just bought a new bookshelf at IKEA to fit the additional printouts they added this month.

              Why print it out? It's online and possible to search. If you want an offline copy, get the MSDN Library subscription, a mere $199 for the first year and only $99/year after that. MSDN is a comprehensive reference - books are not (unless you get those that are a compendium). If you can't understand the APIs, frameworks, or concepts from the reference, then you probably do need someone else (i.e., a book author) to explain it to you.

                  I saw the cinicism in it, but it seemed like you were saying that MSDN is not a good reference because it's so big. Believe it or not, many people have said that... "Oh, I haven't looked because there's too much stuff." Sorry. :-O

                    Havn't thought about that. I try to convince everybody all the time that it's better to read online, but most people still seem to think that printing out or buying books is better. -- - Free Windows-based CMS: www.zeta-software.de/enu/producer/freeware/download.html - See me: www.magerquark.de - MSN Messenger: uwe_keim@hotmail.com
