Urk! I'm not trying to push VB here. Or anywhere. Let's just let it die a nice, peaceful death. Like COBOL. Hey - why won't COBOL go away? DDVH> ?? No, you *must* declare variables (including consts, arrays etc) in DDVH> Delphi before using them, eg: I stand corrected here (egg on face) I've been working on converting some Delphi code to C++ and I could have sworn that it wasn't strongly-typed, but now that I look at again I see I was wrong. I can't remember which piece of code I was swearing at the other day, but I'm certain now that it wasn't some Delphi code. Don't get me wrong - I use and actually sometimes like Delphi when the need arises. DDVH> Yes, This is a lack of Delphi. But still, its a much better language DDVH> than VB!

Very much agreed. I've just started to look at the .NET stuff, and while I like some of the C# things, the thought of carrying around all that baggage definitely puts me off. -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.60h on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 -- ________________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBTECH" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
