    Do you have a rule over there that says "When in doubt throw in a 'u'"?
    e.g.
    color = colour
    neighbor = neighbour
    etc

    Or is it that we (Americans) just remove 'u's whenever possible?

    Probably the second one. I wonder what is the deal with our exclusion of the 'u'. Poor thing. I feel sorry for it.

    It must be 2, because we had the language first . Although we do like to add a 'u' occasionally. Maybe in the days of telegrams, they shortened words, and dropped out non-essential letters.

    I'm fairly new to VB (using VB6), so when you say check to make sure they are the correct dll's how do I do that?

    All I know is that I select the references from the list and then go about my business. I see it has the location of the reference at the bottom of the form but how do I know if it's the correct version?


    Thanks.

    You should have these checked in References,

    Visual Basic For Applications
    Visual Basic runtime objects and procedures
    Visual Basic objects and procedures
    OLE Automation

    CHR$ function is in strings module in VBA library which is in this file:

    VBA5.DLL ( I guess it's VBA6 for vb6)

    you could need to register this one again
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
