I've worked with VB before. I don't think that is a major problem, but
there will be errors as I go along in this project. When there was a
bug in the program a message said that help is not available in this
version. I have only the "Working Model" for students. I'm wondering
if in general the project in this book can be done with the "Working
Model" because as far as I can tell by searching the web the whole VB
6.0 program costs hundreds of dollars and I don't want to invest that
in this little project I'm doing with my nephew.
