Gustav, Gustav, Gustav....you need to invest in VB 6.  You could probably
get it dirt cheap on eBay, and with your skills, you'll pick it up in a
heart beat.

A lot of people peg me as a VBer, simply because I use VB a lot.  However,
I'm all for the right tool for the right job.  VB is just another tool.
Now, if I could somehow merge the advantages of VB, with the advantages in
Access, I would be a VERY happy camper!

Hi Drew

Yes, that makes sense to me, though I don't have any tools to program
dlls. I have some very general and well proven functions which I
simply keep collected in some modules which I copy-paste into a new
project as needed - not very fancy, I know, but it works.
