Hi Willem, While I agree with you about the arm processors I think continuing this discussion, argument, debate, whatever you want to call it is pointless. Jeremy, Jim, and the other VB 6 developers have their opinions and we have ours. Arguing about it on list for days on end isn't going to change anyones mind. Time will settle the argument one way or another.
