No, I just thought it was silly to go into that much advise about a useful
upgrade. I should have prefaced it with "IMHO", as that is all it is - my
opinion.
IMHO, (with a few rather spectacular exceptions, ie SP6), if one can, one
should always upgrade, VB4->VB5->VB6, unless there are legacy issues. It is
silly to stay behind if there aren't.
As far as being concerned about being contradicted - you haven't been around
here very long - I am contradicted a lot. <g>
