Has Christian Graus said, if you can't do the basic research source codes may not help you. The idea of programming is to think about the algorithm you want to write and then think how to make it work in the easiest and quickly way you can. The speed is not only for saving project develop time yet also to increase the computer efficient. Processing resources is an expensive resource. There are few tips for you, when you want to write a computer program: 1. Define your needs and targets and the system the program will run over it (ex. windows XP, CE, Mobile Phone, etc.) 2. Multiply the targets into missions and sub-missions that will be easy to implement. 3. After you define the targets try to write algorithm (not in VB but in piece of paper) this will help you to rearrange your minds and way of work. you may also draw your tasks to think about visually. 4. The next step is to write it in VB and debugging. Good Luck ! Web site with source codes: http://www.planetsourcecode.com/ You may use such web sites (you may find a lot of them in one Google simple search) only for helping you with scripts you can't think about your own algorithm. those sites are not good for learning from the beginning. Hope I helped you &
