Well, you wrote atleast one line that shocked our collective sensitivities and that began "Can anyone write the code for me ...". This line instantly relegated you to the category of the "Lamer" that we see so often here. These are people who do not want to invest an iota of effort, do not bother to Google for an answer (maybe coming up with an appropriate search string is hard work) and demand to be helped. They usually come here with homework level questions and are looking for someone to do their homework for them. They also are incapable of properly formulating a question, providing the necessary details for anyone to be able to help them and will usually write in TxtSpeak. These people get flamed regularly and I fully condone it. They deserve nothing more.
It sometimes happens that someone who doesn't actually fall into this category gets mistaken for a Lamer. Experience has shown me that the key difference between a Lamer and a "normal" person is that the Lamers are incapable of fighting back... maybe because they know in their heart that they are useless creatures. Stick for a while in this group and you will learn to recognize the archetype. Unfortunately, your first post was very misleading. If I were you, here's how I would have written it : -------------------------- On Sep 10, 6:41 pm, Jai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> might have written : > Im finishing up my last semester for my associates degree, and I took > beginning VB over three years ago.

Just remember that when you take criticism in a good spirit, it doesn't hurt anymore and it makes you improve. If everyone was introspective enough not to need feedback, the world would be a perfect place. -- C. On Sep 19, 9:53 pm, Jai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just for the record... Im a woman.
