Hi Rob,

Thnaks for the tip. I did what the document said and the
problem still exists. This time I just let XP send the
error report to Microsoft. I am curious what they are
going to say. As long as I know what to do to alleviate
the situation it is livable.

Is there a Microsoft site where one can look at existing
problems? I cannot seem to find one. I work on a
mainframe where known problems are recorded and it is
really helpful.

Once again, Thanks.

Jerry B

The fact is that VB.NET is sufficiently incompatible with the previous version of VB (VB6, from which VBA is derived) that for all practical purposes an upgrade wasn't possible, you had to rewrite the code more or less from scratch. ... The automated code converters provided by Microsoft were next to useless, and the fact that Microsoft went and changed lots of names of objects and properties meant that late-binding code wouldn't work without rewrite because it couldn't be automatically converted at all. ... Lots of people asked Microsoft what that reason was, with regard to that and dozens of other changes to the language. ...
