    Guys,

    we really are serious about a COM forum. The forums get bogged down with fairly basic questions and a more 'professional' forum would be extremely useful. This is real world stuff - some of us make our livings this way (or would like to!)

    So how about it???

    Cheers,

    Paul.

    Nope. COM (Component Object Model - ActiveX to everyone else ).

    Some of these replies are inCOMparably better than anthing that I could have devised.

    All I have to say is:

    Components
    Operate
    Methods

    For
    Offering
    Really
    Useful
    Methodologies

    Not
    Only
    Work <ahem>

    Bit over COMposed perhaps, but I have made my point, perhaps they will COMmit to a new Forum.

    P.

    P.S. PLEASE!

    Apologies for the lack of COMmunication recently - it's been a busy couple of weeks I'll chat with John and see if we can get a COM forum up and running.
