Tim,
2 things LEAPT out at me concerning your code:
1. You better start naming controls quick smart!
2. General code structure needs improving.
One thing I hate is long indentation. For example:
If this,
If this
If this
etc.
I prefer this:
If !This
bail.
Next statement.
However, this is just personal preference I suppose...keep at it...AND GET THE BOOKS mentioned.
I don't doubt you got bored with the technical spec...as KErry said - dry reading.
