    When it asks you to make a 'New Project' Double Click the icon labeled VB Application Wizard.

    Thats a wizard to create the whole form isn't it? i just tried it and thats not what i'm after.

    I'm looking for a wizard to automatically popup when i place a command button down and then will give me a number of options such as Close, save, next, previous, etc like in access.

    I believe Visual Basic 6.0 has nothing that you are looking for. Well at least not that i know of.

    Not much point to that in VB. Who wants a language that limits what you can do? It makes sense in a VBA environment where the program creates a limit on what is reasonably available, but in a full language, the only limit should be the imagination and capability of the the coder.

    You can certainly make that functionality, but you can't assume it.

    Those are things you can do to a database with the button. Since buttons aren't bound in VB, you have to write code to do the same things. VB is a rapid development environment, not a write-the-code-for-you-instantly environment. You have to know how to write code.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
