I have never seen any context where code in visual studio can be emailed to someone else and "it'll just work". Typically, you have to know how to create the right kind of solution and/or project or application and then you have to know how to include the code. You also typically have to know which version of visual studio to use and you may have to have the right components installed. For people that run afoul of these issues, you can usually buy support if you can afford it. I've run into problems getting my own code to work, when it was written with "too old" of a version of visual studio. (This might be an example of "if it's not broke, don't fix it" which is just as valid if we remove the 'not'?) Visual Studio can be a nice code authoring system, but it has its own rules and its community is focussed on paid distribution of compiled binaries. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
