I personally feel that I am producing one hell of an app with VB4-32. The key word here is 32bits. Delphi, at the moment, does not offer this capability on the open market. Maybe I am banking to much on VB's continued success, but if we get improved form speed and perhaps a compiler I will be ahead of you and Delphites.

It makes things simple, fast, and EASY. I have a strong feeling that Spyworks allows me to do things much faster and quicker than Delphi, but I could be wrong! > > And I will have an even faster application implemented in less hours. > ;-) > But will it be a true 32bit app for 95 or NT?????????? -- +==================================================================+ Paul R.
