I think you mean stdole2.tlb? That's referenced in
all VB programs. But yes, it's not a problem. And if
you look at that in the object browser you'll see it
provides references for basic VB ops like LoadPicture.

With the bolding... I've never seen that use of Print
before. I don't know why he didn't draw the text using
API, which one could certainly do. For my own purposes
I just used his clever idea for rounding the corners
to get a shaded tab look. (Or maybe it wasn't so much
clever as observant. When I looked at Windows tabs
magnified I could see that the rounded corner and double
lined edge is really all that's needed to give a tabbed look.)
But I switched the method to basic VB, using Labels and
Lines. I haven't lookd at my code for awhile, but I think I
just set up a Label array, then have a click event function
that resizes labels and moves lines around, so that the
selected label ends up "higher" than, and in front of, the
rest. It's very simple and primitive, but it works fine. That
approach would also allow for easy bolding, since it's just a
Label property.

Correct.

Thank you for your confirmation and comments.
