I got a beta CD today. The insert (on red paper) stated that this is the same as the download, it is a beta copy, has a number of problems working with VPF5 (say to use sys(2333) to disable early binding) and you cannot distribute and controls made with the beta (SOP). Don't know when the 'real' one is available. This looks like anyother beta-try it, it exihibts bizzare behavior, report it and wait. Approach looks real interesting, though, for quick controls (it's a disabled VB I believe)
