My problem is that the 'problematic' languages are a kindof lastminute
wish
of my client, and the application has to work fine by the end of the week

(and I'm busy on other things too, so I won't have much time during the
week
either). So going into this 'deep' programmation would maybe not be the
solution for this time. However, it'll be very usefull for future
projects!
That's why I come with a last and quick (I hope) question: Why shouldn't
I
use Forms 2 ? I tried them and it seems to work fine for me, but does
that
mean that the user needs to have Office installed on his computer
(license
problem) ? If yes, it's no solution for me ... If no, what are the issues
?

It is not only the problem of the distribution licence: Using Forms 2.0
controls in your VB 5.0/6.0 may result in strange behaviour of your
application. A very well known effect is the unexpected throwing of an "out
of memory error" although there seems to be no reason for this. MS points
out that Forms 2.0 is >not< designed for use in VB 5.0/6.0.
Since you have coded your application for a client of yours I would be very
very carefull with the use of Forms 2.0. I see a special risk in using
Forms 2.0 together with databases in that external libraries are involved
for which no one can tell if they are fully compatible to Forms 2.0.

Thorsten: yes I live in Freiburg as well, and unfortunately, today's
weather
isn't that great either, although I managed to go for a short
mountainbike
ride with my dog this morning, up to the roßkopf, if you know ... Maybe
tomorrow, we'll see the sun ... ?

The weather was really disgusting - and I don't have much hope for
tomorrow...
