Steve.
Ironically, the examples on the BSC site are closer to vb2008 because the sound 
movement etc is represented in Objects. However, I think you need to download 
the development kit for directx 10. You are on the right track though.

  Hi list.  I'm continueing down my path of learning VB and I'm finding things 
not too bad doing the exercises in the book.  As I want to eventually program 
audio games, I came across a tutorial to set up directX and to run through a 
very basic example of creating and playing a sound with parameters.  The 
problem is that this was written in VB 6 and I'm using VBS 2008.  My question 
is, is there enough of a difference in these 2 IDE's and the code to make it 
difficult to follow and run this tutorials code?  I've opened the source code 
to a game there: BTW it's on the BSC games site, and looking through it, after 
upgrading it through the wizard in VBS 2008, it's quite a bit different from 
the code in the tutorial!  Is the approach in making audio like this in VBS 
2008 totally different to previous versions?  Sorry if this has been a basic no 
brainer question, but I'm trying to figure out at what level and from where I 
can gain the correct information to achieve what I want to achieve using VBS 
2008.  Many thanks Steve.
