It sure does help!  I suspect that starting with version 6 may help also.  I sprang for
version ... 3 I think it was.  I found it appalling.  And virtually unusable.  I really
believed after using that beast that MS is making a strong effort to force everyone into
Visual Basic.  (Since I now do a lot of Access work, I guess they were successful with me,
but I sure don't love them for it!)  I wish I could use Ada at work, but screen painting
and printing reports are so important that Ada would be a bad choice.  But I sure keep
looking for a different one than what I'm currently stuck with!
