I am glad you agree. No! I don't agree *at all* with that assessment. This and other posts from you suggest to me that you are really not familiar with the VB and Active X world. To think of Active-X simply as a library capability misses the point. The world of component programming is fundamentally different from the world ofapplication building using existing libraries. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
