I am trying to emulate the BeermatSoftware game called 'Dope Wars'. Being fairly new to VB, I thought it would make a challenging project. For reference it can be found at www.beermatsoftware.com.

My problem is that I cannot figure out a practical way to make the readout/stats.

The best I have come up with is to do a PSP capture for the 'Cash, Bank, Debt..' section and use a lot of pic.boxes to display the constantly changing numbers-ie, 1 pic.box per digit, which would also be 'captured' and stored as bmps.

This is not practical. There is a better way and I am hoping someone can make a suggestion.

Thanks in advance.
