Thanks Bob.

I have used intellisense with VB and Interdev, and found it to be very useful, it does save having to call up the help everytime you want the syntax.

Personally I have found using intellsense more functions and undocumented functions of active x controls and dll then I would have been able to find using other methods. The automatic tool tips which pop up when writing code, telling you all the parameters avail when you start to write code is a real time saver. i.e. do you really remeber the syntax of Adir() I know I can't remember the syntax of every command, now with intellesense I type adir( and in a tooltip the the parameter list pops up. No more going to help to find it.

(I dont think so) creating a RW cursor with sql statment, in one line of code, also nice, but not a really big thing. Screen enhancements like mouse over and mouse leave and ht tracking, Can add some flash to your 'forms'. Necessary No.
