[AccessD] OT: FrontPage Websites

...damn! ...I actually understood that post :)

...and here's the thing ...I've said this before here ...the differences 
between C#.net and VB.net are not nearly as substantial as those between VB 
and C++ ...I've gotten pretty decent at reading c#.net code and translating 
it to vb.net ...and if Ican read it, I can write it ...once you've moved to 
the .net platform the choice of language is really a function of which 
syntax you're most familiar with.
