I have VBTools 2.0 and it contains some very interesting controls...it 
includes a high-res picture control, which allows 256-color images to 
be displayed; a screen saver control; several command buttons, which include
options for multiple bitmaps or icons; there is a toolbox control that allows
you to create a toolbox of button (I guess maybe even a toolbar); there is
a scrolling text control (of course, after I wrote a routine for it!); there
is a control for colored bar graphs and charts; and so on....

In a nutshell, it expands the capabilities of VB tremendously...VBTools 2.0
comes with a shit-load controls (I can't quite remember the number...but 
there are alot).  As for VB 2.0...I only read that it will be much faster
than the first.  At this rate, I think Visual C++ will be in order...:-)
Anyways, VB is becoming quite a serious programming tool...and fun too!
I can create a serious application with little surprises (for those serious
computer weenies who don't smile at anything!)  I took a 256 color image of
the president of my company and had scrolling text roll by...thank God he
was amused.
