Well, the true answer is that it really does not matter much anymore. There is not much difference as far as features or performance goes. That said, most development teams would do best to work in the same language so that everyone can create, debug and maintain the code. For me though, the answer would have to be: "Wake up, wake up, you are dreaming, because I hate that VB syntax even more than I hate code with variables starting with underlines, and if you want me to work here, please do not say there will ever be need for VB" :) Yeah, I know, but as long as I can avoid anything to do with "dims", the better life is! :) Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com
