/* start of rant */ Can I beg to differ. On the PC platform VB is perfectly usable for 99% of projects.
The biggest problem with most software projects are not choice of platform or choice of implementation language. The biggest problems are :- 1) Not defining what you actually want the system to do. 2) Changing (1) after work gas started. 3) Expecting technology to solve what are people or process problems. 4) Expecting a system to do everything, inlcuding make the tea, without any management. If only managers would cut the feature bloat and accept "no frills" solutions instest of wanting, yes wanting bloat ware at the same price MS charge for Office, IT would deliver business benifit. One typical example. My employer is implementing SAP. As a result they are changing the charging code structure. The result is so complex that the ordinary staff don't understand it. However the implementers are encouragung the change as they know they will have to come back to sort the mess out. Loony!. Dave. /* Rant off */ P.S. However, I am not sure though that passing an MS exam tells you anything about a programmers ability.. --- "Edward M.
