Hi Jim,
This is one of those cases of personal preference. That constant
debugging of my code drives me absolutely up the wall. Especially, when
I start typing some code and Window Eyes decides to start announcing
every status message that comes up in the error child window. That
distracts me, and I can't get anything done. I'd rather just write it,
compile it, and let the debugger tell me what lines of code need fixing.
Then again, this is probably in the way I learned to program. In college
for my C++ course we used Unix systems, and I used a modified version of
Linux with speakup to do the course work. We just used an ordinary text
editor and the gcc command line compiler. That isn't anything as near as
fancy as Visual C++, but I learned to do without all of the features of
Visual Studio early on. As a result when I was introduced to them I
didn't like them, but many of my class mates loved them.
Smile.

Hi Thomas,
You know in the IDE of the VB6 part of Visual Studio besides the auto
complete there is also that it will instantly inform you of many little
programming errors. You know like a missing parentheses etc. And then
there is the integrated help system. You know, just press the f1 key to
get the syntax, an example etc of the command that you are having
trouble with.
You know every since I started programming in Basic back in 1980, I have
always programmed in the IDE. The main reason for me is that like in
VB6 I type in a couple of lines of code and press the f5 key to run the
program and test the new lines of code. I just would not be happy
typing in a bunch of lines of code in Note Pad or whatever, then running
a command line compiler and coming up with errors and going what, where,
why.
Any who programming in the IDE has always worked well for me.

Jim
I am using BASIC, because I don't want to be C-sick.
