Hello Kelly,

I'm one of the Visual BASIC advocates--mainly because program development is
easier and faster than any other language that I have used.  I use VB6 but I
don't know if you would have much luck in finding a copy of that version.

I use some Jaws scripts for the IDE that I found somewhere and they make it
very easy to add the buttons and boxes to the user interface.  I also have a
plain text version of a book named VB6 for Dummies which was very helpful
for learning how to write VB6 programs.

I use the VB6 IDE to establish the necessary files for a program and then I
edit those files with my own code using notePad.  Then I use the IDE to
compile those files into an executible.

hth

Bob

>Hi Chris,
    It's definitely an idea. Is there a good VB compiler
for  Windows? Also, how do you go about writing a program that uses a
GUI or controls like buttons, edit boxes, etc. as a text file? I
haven't seen any source code for VB programs before, so I'm wondering
if there are any good sites for studying this? I think my problem is
that I'm getting too eager and want to jump right in and write something.
    Thanks.


Yours Sincerely,
Kelly John Sapergia
