I see advertised Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Standard
and also Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional   In
the case of VB6 (six, not 8) Standard there are only 21
Tools in the Toolbox whereas the VB6 Professional has
56 Tools in the Toolbox including the MSComm Tool.
Does the same hold for the above 2008 standard and
professional versions?

No idea. This is a Visual Basic group. The last and final version of Visual
Basic was VB6. The thing that Micro$oft is now dishonestly trafficking with
the phrase Visual Basic or VB attached to it is a completely different
language. Try asking in a dotnet group.

This group is called VB-General so I do not really understand the
distinction. ( I assumed that Visual Studio 8 has VB.)  It is very
difficult to find in-depth details about this 2008 software.  My main
interest is that it is advertised by Microsoft as being compatible
with the Windows Vista OS ( " ... create great connected applications
on the latest platforms , including the Web, Windows Vista, the 2007
Office System, ...") Your statement that the 2008 software  "with the
phrase Visual Basic or VB attached to it is a completely different
language", if true, should be shouted from the mountain tops !!!  I
appreciate all the comments which have really inspired me to go after
Microsoft to get more info - which I guess is going to be a project
comparable to climbing Mt. Everest.  But I shall try.  And I shall
return.

Further comment: why the heck should I have to go to a net site to
get info. Why not Microsoft itself - after all they made and are
selling the product. Good grief ! (Just letting off some steam).
