Hi David, thanks for the reply.  What is the development kit for Directx10 and 
any ideas on where I can download it?  Sounds interesting, cheers Steve.

  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.
  David.

    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.
