Hey Johnny,

How're you doing, I hope everything is going better (specially, after that little issue with the file limit download from the UT and so on...) :)

Yeah, I'm looking for some programming guidelines and interface standards that I can give to a couple VB developers that are doing a mammoth system for us, connecting to a SQL 7.0 backbone. The problem so far is, that these guys so far are doing the connection alright but as far as interface goes, there's no consistency. The buttons are of different sizes on several screens, the same thing with fonts sizes and types, textbox alignment and so on.

Wayne & Bruce, we discussed initially about it, but that was basically throwing dust in the wind since what we have now we don't like, and our client has already seen some of it and he doesn't like it either, specially because all the screens look so different (good thing is just a beta).

But anyway, I'll check the msdn site and see what's good there.

P.S: In case you guys wonder why we didn't use VFP for the task; we tried to convince them about it, but they demanded VB, since it's easier to find more VB developers than VFP's...

whatever...
