Sorry that should have read our VB list is very slow (VB is fine for ActiveX components).  If you are looking into VB you can use VB 6 and the syntax is about identical to VBA for the most part.  The Learning Edition of VB which is less expensive may do the trick for you.

Thanks. Just wanted to stay off possible traps when dealing with dlls.
