FYI, your sig is out of date. VB no longer reads like an acronym.


From Wikipedia:

In computer programming, BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code[1]) refers to a family of high-level programming languages. It was originally designed in 1963, by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz at Dartmouth College, to provide access for non-science students to computers.

VB is a derivative of GWBASIC which was a copy of Dartmouth Basic.

Incidentally, Bill Gates was 7 years old when BASIC was invented and I can't see how Microsoft can say that the acronymn doesn't still apply.

Four years ago, I turned down an operation that would make me a Basic programmer when I found out that if they accidently removed more than half my brain, I would become a COBOL programmer.

I'll go back a decade.

First you'll need a pair of knee pads.

Bold assumption, on your part. Most of us like it missionary style.
