    1) VB is crap. You should use something better.

    2) This isn't a warez board. Go buy it.

    sorry, didn't mean to offend.. or whatever it was i said to make you snap back at me as you did. just thought you could help. my mother wants me to make upa little prog for her..... VB is about all i know... i took a class in it, and i was just trying to find out if i could download the rest of it, or if i didn't understand its connection to Word. i really am quite computer illiterate. But anyway, thanx for the help you didn't give me.

    Sorry if that seemed like a personal affront.

    Piracy is an illegal activity. If my site aided in the distribution of warez, I would be legally responsible. I'm not condemning you for pirating -- it's just that this isn't the place for it.

    VB for Word and Excel are a little different than the stand alone VB program. VB for the Microsoft programs is called Visual Basic Application. As such they have some commands and procedures that are required to be followed that are not part of the VB stand alone.

    I would recommend that you buy a book on VBA. They are very simular in feel and look and also in commands. Some are interchangeable and some are not. You do have more flexibility with the stand alone program.

    If you can write in vba, Excel can do everything you are asking for. Use the macro function for some short cuts and write the rest in. If I remember correctly you can call upto 9 different modules from one macro allowing you to break the code up into more managable segments.

    Even better is that for a good portion of what you need you don't need to write any code. It is standard functions of spreadsheets that Excel is equipted to handle.

    I sent you a PM and e-mail nightfall...let me know what you think.

    If Visual Basic is anything like Visual Studio (I know its part of Visual Studio)...it has service packs.....just like NT4/5 does.

    You can get a free version at Microsoft's site. The thing is that you can't compile stand alone-executables with that one, but if you have access to a computer with the full version, you could always put your code on a disk and compile it there =)
