Hi Mo

Oh, VB is going to make it. It's actually been around longer than PB, if I recall correctly. What I see happening now, though, is that VB is being pushed out of the limelight by thin-client, netcentric applications.

And I have never seen any enterprise-scale VB based apps or commercial apps based on VB....has anyone?
