Hi Denise!

(See you at TFUG on the 5th?)

The only "gotcha" I can think of is that the BoundTo property for Comboboxes is different between 3 and 5/6 but I don't have 3 installed so I don't remember what the difference is.

Besides that, 5 and 6 offer much, much faster object instanciation and string manipulation. Plus, memory management is much improved, apparently. Therefore, an app with a lot of controls and forms should run a lot faster.

I have a feeling that the budget people aren't really going to want to spend the money (do they ever? :) ) so I want to tell them something that will really make them feel that it's absolutely necessary to make this transition.
