>Why couldn't MS have come out with a linker which would go through all the code (and dlls) and stuff all of the necessary calls into the same exe? I know it would be a big exe, but my customers wouldn't care.

Hi Vincent. I asked this same question on the newsgroups and I got flamed big-time. Most people calling me an "idiot" or worse. The Universal Thread is so much more polite. :-)

Personally, I am still waiting for the day when VB can roll all the code into one exe.
