I hate VB :P I mostly do vanilla C, but have a fair ammount of experience with MSVC++ and other languages as well. I think I had tried VB 4 .. and was very dissatisfied with it. I am very familiar with MSVC++ .. just thought that maybe the same features would be available with MS VB 6 .. and was pointing them out to the author of this tournament manager on the off chance that they were included. In any event, you should probably make your replies to him instead of me .. I don't plan on writing anything with VB unless I'm paid very handsomely for it :P Regards, Adrien.
