• BahKoo Newbie VB Question

  The program I'm writing is very simple - in fact, there is no need for anything visual at all - including the main form.  As it is written right now, my half-page of code is executed in the form's Main_Load procedure, and the program opens and closes in the blink of an eye.

This works fine in the development environement. However, in t ...Show All
