Okay, so the local campus store (complete with discounts) finally had Visual Basic for Windows on display. I always knew that the Professional Edition came with some "extras," but was never sure *what*. The DOS versions seem to differ mainly in terms of ISAM support, as far as I could tell. But the Standard and Professional Windows packages seem *really* different. I saw nothing about "multimedia" on the Standard box, but a lot of requirements on the Professional edition -- that plus the email, comm tools, etc. Anyway, can someone offer some advice as to which edition would be best for doing multimedia application on an *Ultimedia* machine? With all IBM-type multimedia hardware (which, I'm guessing, could mean that the built-ins in the Professional box won't help me diddly...) There's quite a bit of price difference, and I guess I'm not sure if you can *do* everything with the Standard box (and the Professional just lets you at it faster), or you *need* the Professional package to do multimedia (sound, images, video, etc...) Thanks! Roger
