You guys are making me feel like a politician...

I can change the 99% to what is more comfortable for everyone, but I really do not know how we will have a sure answer unless we actually do it.

Remember that vbRichClient is only one of the options here... I really think that is the way to go, but if the funds do arrive and I talk to Olaf and he tells me that he can't / won't do it that is fine. We will look at other options. If all options are not feasible all the money will be returned to the original contributors.

The only way a viable vb6 project will come to pass is if money is involved, one way or another. Time has shown us that no other options have worked.

This project is a huge risk.. but I am driven to give it a chance, If I/we fail, I'm ok with it, at least I tried. Too many people live with the fear of failing and never accomplish the things they could.

So Funky, your fear that I am over promising happens with every r&d project that has ever come to pass, and unless the goal is set, which I was brave enough to do, it will never come to pass.
