[AccessD] Learning .Net -- PHP Instead?

It is!  You can multithread in VB 6, though it's compartmented (sorry,
long day, I might have the terminology wrong).  It will run two distinct
thread ID's, and the processes will run completely separate.  (One can
error out, and stop, and the others will keep going).  One funny thing I
noticed back when I played around with that, is that in testing, I ran a
database dump, where my routine was dumping dummy data into a table.
Running against a 97 .mdb, it would eventually crash, due to a writing
clash (because since the code was running in separate threads, the OS,
not the program, was handling which process got to do what first..., so
two 'writes' at the exact same time could clash), and I would end up
with a  corrupted database.  Didn't have that problem with a 2000
database, left it running until it filled the database, never crashed.
Who'da thunk that a 2000 mdb would be more stable then a 97 mdb in any
aspect! ;)

Oh no more to learn... why did I ever get into the computer business.
;-)

The multi-threaded programming sounds very interesting, though.
