Now I assume my weekends work would amount to 30 minuites for someone able to write a picmulticalc. So a quick VB express (cuz it free to all) example passing a byte or 2 back and forth. Nothing more then that as it will overwhelm those who don't get it. ( read as ME ME ME)
Everyone must start somewhere. Been there done that. I'm not more clever than anybody, but maybe I put more time & effort. I never found a magic potion to know everything and how to do things in a snap.
1) have a project
2) find information, read, digest them
3) try something
4) wash & rinse 'till it works

You CAN'T learn VB (or else) in a day. It take months, years. I learnt the hard way too. The more you do, the more you develop tricks....the easier it gets.

Don't give up!
