I think that the new IDE can accept the old DLL's from the VB6 for example and use the old controls too. A friend of mine said he just open the libraries and workd ok.

I cannot test this as I got rid off the monster!

Also said that the old syntax is acceptable too (may be with some trick though).

By the way, Steve, is there a way to access a bit in a variable array in PBP? I meen for example like this: array[7].4=1

I know the link of Melanies that is accessing as an array of bits the whole byte array, but is not easy to remember the 267th bit!

I overcome this by reloading the array byte to a variable and then back to array again.
