Thank You for the advice Rich.

I tried to go the VB6 way but immediately after I bought VB6, MS discontinued their support for VB6 and went to the new system.
At the time of their decision I was developing my system in VB6 with a programming entity in Eastern Europe. It turned out to be a mistake because they were very poor programmers.

At approximately the same time, the computing hardware people went away from the IDE PC and my system was not designed for 32 bit computers so the printing functions were not compatible. Those factors caused me to pursue other endeavors and shelve my system.

With the current permutations of basic it would be quite east to transfer my system to something like
BBC Basic for Windows. It may be that VB is overkill.

I would appreciate your opinion.

THank You,

Terry Morris
