[AccessD] Class Rebuttal was: Basic Unbound Form ...

Nice try, Drew.  That's the size of the executable because the runtime
is already on the machine.  It isn't the size of the runtime.

LOL.  Hey, I said it was just my take on it.  You actually buy books for
this stuff though? <grin>

Nope, create a simple .exe and you get 1.4 megs (almost small enough to
fit on a floppy).

Gosh, Drew, I'm going to run right out and burn all my .Net books and
quit my job. ;o> And I seem to recall that the VB6 runtime was more like
13 megs if parts of it weren't already on the machine?

On a lighter topic.... .Net.  You know, I've played around with it, and
quite frankly, I don't like it.

Not the language, I like inheritance, in fact, if they could have just
given VB inheritance, it would blow .Net out of the water.  

What really bugs me is the .Net framework required to implement a
project.
VB had it's runtimes....ok, so you couldn't create a drop in place .exe,
like you can in C++ (or Power Basic), but you're talking about 1.5 megs
worth of a runtime, not 40 megs.  That is just too much of a pain with
what I do.  Doesn't make up for the extra capabilities of .Net.

Just my humble opinion.
