Excuse me? There's plenty of that in VB if that's what you're looking for. 
All in all, having heard your moaning over Delphi over the last couple of 
weeks, I think VB wouldn't be that bad a choice for you after all.

Make that "Thanks for puting a heart under my belt." I tried to put a belt 
under my heart once and I do not recommend it to anyone. It really hurt!
Besides, it means "thanks for the encouragement".
By the way, if you're still interested, netmail me your fax number. I foto 
copied that article about dynamically loading fonts for you.
Groeten, Martin.
