Some of the differences are listed here: http://www.thescarms.com/vbasic/VB6vsVBNet.asp but there are thousands more... -------------------- Caesar si viveret, ad remum dareris.

It just means that Microsoft will no longer be releasing any updates for VB6, or be developing in it themselves. They will also not take any overt steps to ensure that future operating systems (which they say will be built using .NET) are compatible with applications written in VB6. Having said that, XP is VB6 compatible, and Vista will be as well. There is still a very large VB6 development community out there, and many of them do not like the .NET version...I expect it will be quite some time before VB6 is gone, so not to worry! -------------------- Caesar si viveret, ad remum dareris.

Replace the 'Me' with the name of the form you are closing. This will keep the application running, allowing you to continue working in your application. Example CODE yourForm.Close() -------------------- Please do not PM\Email me for answers to your questions, post it in the forums.
