    The problem is that you're asking questions about how to make VB do things which VB is generally unsuited to doing. VB (or more accurately the Com programming model) provides mechanisms to achieve comparable end goals which are considered "safe" and do not require you to pursue the techniques you're pursuing. That begs the question "why would you pursue these techniques instead of using those provided by VB and it's framework?"

    There are legitimate answers to that question. As coders we sometimes need to step outside the safe constraints a framework places upon us to achieve some specific goal. However, we recognise that people generally shouldn't be doing so without good reason. That's why, when we see someone heading down those paths, we legitimately ask them why. If they fail to provide a good answer that acts as a red flag that they're likely to be trying to do something they shouldn't.

    So far the only answer you've given us is that you want to know those techniques but that was already obvious from the fact that you asked the question and it really doesn't speak to your ultimate motives. Essentially, all you've said is "teach me to be a better hacker... because I want to be a better hacker". That position is going to get short shrift around here.


    Edit> By the way, your use of bolding comes across as shouting and may turn people off. I don't think that's how you mean it to come across but it's something you might want to consider.
