<Copy> But realize...since I believe you've never done this type of thing...you have quite a learning curve ahead of you to get a VB EXE with ADO working properly to install for a user as a software program!! Been there...done that!<smile> <End> You are right, I have not done any Windows programming at all. I have had all the others it seems like, PL/1, Fortran, Cobol, Pascal, etc. This was before the advent of Windows. I am pretty good DOS batch programming, but that by no means will accomplish my goal of writing custom cemetery software. Let me look at this from another direction. I cannot travel. Knowing that, where should I look to take Windows programming courses? I can go to a class locally, if there was one. I am not mad at you, I minored in human communications, and you would have thought I understood what you said right off the bat. Seems to me the longer at look at old email the more likely I owe -you- an apology. <g> Robert ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
