Sorry to take so long to reply to your kind offer of some support if I use VB Express. I'm still not sure which way to go and don't want to waste time by switching languages - it seems to take me about a year before using a new language gets reasonably productive.

Is VB Express the same as VB 2008 Express?

And can it create professional looking screens on the PC?

As an aside - many years ago, when I was about 7 years old, my mother took me to Sc*nthorpe for a swim in the Easter Holidays - and I thought she liked me! I'm still trying to warm up.
