Why ? Can you give me any references that there WILL be a VB 8 ? Maybe MS would start a new development tool called Visual B++ which isn't directly compatible with VB. You must translate your existing code to Visual B++ to make it work. You and I know that VB is rotten to the core and it is virtually impossible to make it true OO.

I'm wondering who is putting his sand into the sand........ :-).
