You're coming to a well-design, intuitive, relaxed user interface from what is probably the worst user experience (Access) ever produced by human beings or Microsoft. MM

Leaving the specific context aside, that's gotta be one of the best driveby soundbites ever. :-) -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org

A mnior point is the VB 6 IDE is missing a number of features that have been in Access since as long as I can remember. For example the ability to undo a control move. I can't remember what else right off hand as I've adjusted to the UI But now I'm curious. Please indicate what you feel is the ":worst user experience"? The blank screen that Access starts up with?
