Hi

"What does  visual basic do?" ?  Well have you heard of the programming
language BASIC?  It stands for "Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction
Computer-language. Something like that. If you have Windows95 and still have
that windows95 "companion CD" you have "QBaisic" which is a limited version
of "BASIC". (It's in the \misc\dosstuff\ directory). Any way Visual basic is
the windows version of this programming language. It's main advantage is
it's simplicity. Unfortunately the price for simplicity is REALLY slow
programs.  Visual basic allows a developer to very quickly make an
executable file using "forms" to make for example menus like those in you
news reader and web browser, and the layout of the "toolbars". And of course
you tell the compiler what you want it to do when the user clicks or
whatever. For example "form1Txt.text = "hello"
kinda like that.

Hope I answered your question.
bye
