Hmm, If you don't anticipate having to do anything too involved for your old 1.1 apps-- consider buying the Visual Basic.Net Standard Edition or Visual C# Standard edition of 2003 (runs about ninety dollars). Then get whatever version of 2005 you want (I'd recommend professional; the correct version of course depends on what you plan to do with it.) W/ this approach you should be able to handle most maintenance issues for the old apps without hindering your future development. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00008I9K3/qid=1135712406/sr=8 -1/ref=pd_bbs_unbuck_1/002-3938741-4808867?v=glance <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00008I9K3/qid=1135712406/sr= 8-1/ref=pd_bbs_unbuck_1/002-3938741-4808867?v=glance&s=software&n=541966> &s=software&n=541966 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000089GKW/qid=1135712507/sr=8 -2/ref=sr_8__i2_xgl65/002-3938741-4808867?v=glance <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000089GKW/qid=1135712507/sr= 8-2/ref=sr_8__i2_xgl65/002-3938741-4808867?v=glance&s=software&n=1000> &s=software&n=1000

The problem is for licensing reasons, the copy of 2003 I have has to go or be replaced ;o) Is express good enough to consider an option for writing the 2.0 stuff?
