Stephen--

Glad it all worked for you (especially since I wrote it<g>)! I see the trouble--VB5 CCE can't make a .exe file (or, if it can, I haven't figured out how to do it yet). I'll see if it's possible. In the meantime, you'll need to save your files as VBScripts.

The main differences:

"Dim XXX as YYY" (where XXX is a variable name and YYY is a variable type) changes to Dim XXX

"Next XXX" (where XXX is a counter variable) changes to "Next"

Scripts will show up in the Scripts palette if they're .vbs, .exe, or other executable files. You could even put your VB5 CCE project files in there--that way, you could create projects with user interfaces--it wouldn't be quite as smooth as a file that simply executes (as you'll have to click "Run"), but it's probably still useful.

Thanks,

Ole
