And I've been going through this stuff for the last month or two
using Notepad. LOL

NotePad is my best friend! That and the Ted Pad is really really

Gotta love the guy or gal's humor...

'XPStyle is a module designed to give your program the
'ultimate feeling of comfort, when running under the
'Windows XP (or later) enviroment.

He sounds like he's employed by Microsoft...

'Windows XP uses a technique named "Visual Styles" to
'improve the GUI, granting smooth controls, improved
'graphics and more..

And what the heck kind of code is this?

    StatusBar.SimpleText = "Checking: " & Percent & "%"
    For ii = 0 To 50000000: Next
