An example of the importance of inheritance on the UI level:

I've got a TaxTexbox class used in my applications. Because I saw a feature in the Navision database that allowed users to quickly enter data I implemented something simular in my framework.

when a user types a character the textbox breaks the link to the controlsource and allows to input characters in a datefield. When you leave the textbox the controlsource is restored.

BJ = beginning of the current year.
BW = beginning of the current week
MA = monday of this week
H = Current date.
EJ = End of this year
BJ + 1 = Beginning of next week
EJ - 1 = End of last week
etc..

I implemented the proper code in the class, Recompiled my projects, and viola the functionality works for all dates in my projects. Try that for you VB projects, and I'll get back to you next week....
