[AccessD] VB.NET

I meant the issues involved between the runtimes.  VB runtimes are 1.3 to
1.4 megs, compared to 25 or 26 meg for .Net.  I have also heard of version
issues between .Net runtimes.

Drew,

VB requires runtimes as well.  The difference is that the VB runtimes
are almost always on the machine already.

Yes, but I think more pains have been added.  I noticed it compiles like
C++.  Have you ever compiled C++?  I am very novice at C++, but I went 
C++in,
built my own little program.  Compiled it, ran it.  Yippie.  Decided to
get trickier with the code, compiled/built it......errors.  Any help on
the errors?  Nothing obvious.  Just errors.  Took me a while to figure
out and fix.  

Now, doing the exact same thing in VB 6.0, goof the code, compile it,
and VB stops at the line it is having trouble with.

Don't know if they do that in .Net or not, but I'm curious.  Not too
mention the 'runtimes' required for .NET, versus VB.

I did the film thing though, just haven't figured out what machine I'm
going to install it on.

Just out of curiousity, what 'pains' do you have with VB?

Just completed a 1-week course on VB.NET.  IMHO, almost every pain
associated with VB6 has been addressed in the current release.  Clearly
a steeper learning curve than prior releases (they added something like
26 keywords to the syntax), but MUCH more powerful.

I'm looking forward to developing my first .NET app shortly.
