I was going to reply with a tap, tap, tap but that doesn't work well on LCD monitors like it did on CRTs. <sigh> Tony -- Tony Toews, Microsoft Access MVP Tony's Main MS Access pages - http://www.granite.ab.ca/accsmstr.htm Tony's Microsoft Access Blog - http://msmvps.com/blogs/access/ For a convenient utility to keep your users FEs and other files updated see http://www.autofeupdater.com/ Granite Fleet Manager http://www.granitefleet.com/

Here's the cached Google version of a page that now shows up specific to 2010: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:adVqi4HfmB4J:msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398197.aspx+vs+2008+target+framework&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us But the easiest way to tell is to go into the properties of a project in VS 2008 and in the Application tab (I'm talking C#; dunno if it's different for VB.NET) there's a Target Framework dropdown. Is this not what you're talking about?
