Decided to make a program for fun in VB 6. Its basically gonna be 2 text boxes, and the user starts typing in the top tet box. As he/she is typing in the top, the program displays encoded text on the fly. So if the user types isn "The nefs have come out of the woodwork tonite.", the program will display the encoded text like "The eagle has landed in my pants".

Of course, thats just an example. What is the basic syntax for that type of function? I want to set each letter to equal something, like "c=l, j=h, etc" so the program can translate. I last touched VB almost 2.5 years ago and suddenly got interested in it again.

is that easy to understand or do you need further explaination?

Damnit, 'Cannot find server...'

I think the first link in the list looked real good. Something from MS.

.net is the latest visual studio...

i wrote an intereting program for my fiancee.... but don't think she can run it... it doesn't work on the other computer without the dll (runtime library). so i'm just wondering where i can get that.

it's probably on the install cds..i'll check when i get home i guess....

So NET is yet another MS 'install-extra-and-fill-up-HD-crap'

Why not use Delphi instead? It does everything that VB does but better. It does not need extra run-time dll's. The code is faster.
The user interface is almost identical.

I don't code much i classic languages. I code in LabVIEW for engineering purposes. Some things has to be made as external code and then delphi is 1'st choise for me.
