Thanks Ken,

But I was looking for some leads or ideas how to do something simple
for myself. I know it's probably better to stick with .Net but ...

Thanks again,

Are you using VB.NET? If so, consider this...

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may
get a stray answer to VB.NET (including VB2003 and VB2005 which has
dropped .NET from its name) questions here, you should ask them in
newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups
with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups for Visual Basic
..NET related questions...

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.data

And these for more general .NET questions

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.vsnet.general

Note: There are many other .NET newgroups (use the first three "fields"
from the last two as templates when searching for them), but the above
ones should get you started.

Thanks Rick,

If you notice the question is to both dotnet.vb,dotnet.csharp, AND
vb.general.discussion. Thanks for the advice, good job policing the
group.

Nope! I never looked in the Newsgroup field to see the multiple posting
(normally, I don't look). Sorry for the noise to the actual .NET
newsgroups.

I guess 3 out of 4 groups make it Ok? I'll post my next question to
vb.syntax, vb.general, vb.winapi and joes.plumbing.general.
