Someone else mentioned that, not too sure anyone would tell with excecution would they?
VB runs pretty much instantaneous at the mo

With the runtime files, you just need to distribute the exe and any dll's you create then? I guess you need to add the components like the commondialog control, or are these sort of compiled into the project? Oh lastly on this part, does VC++ have a P&D wizard type thing to track any files that are needed?

Hard to learn - not too worried about, how long did it take you guys ?

Thank you for all your help
