My VBA program works (thanks to you all for answering my questions.)
Now time to compile!

the help file says-

*************
Microsoft Visual Basic allows you to compile your applications to fast, efficient native code, using the same optimizing back-end compiler technology as Microsoft Visual C++. Native code compilation provides several options for optimizing and debugging that aren't available with p-code. These options are traditionally called "switches," because each option can be turned on or off.

This appendix documents the native code compiler options, which appear on the Compile tab of the Project Properties dialog box, available on the Project menu. For more information about native code, see "Compiling Your Project to Native Code" in "More About Programming."

If I click on "project" and then on "project1 Properties" I do not see a "compile tab".

Where did it go?
