No multithreading - which makes it unusable for producing shareware! The number one selling point of shareware these days (in case you haven't noticed) is that it takes advantage of the OS it runs on, in the NT/Win95 world this means multithreading. A newsreader should e.g. import news and email in the background, a web browser should not cease functioning just because you decide to download a file or print something, etc..etc... Delphi OTOH fills 100% of anything I might need to do, and it always does the job extremely well. Why on earth would I consider VB, and why should the original poster not dump VB? VB is indeed inferior in every possible evaluation category (no-one has so far said otherwise) and that is perhaps what the conclusion should be? -- =\ *=- R.Moberg, CD-Player Pro info @ http://www.sn.no/~mobergru/ =/
