Actually, moron, check out the complaints about ATL over in the vb.dotnet
groups coming from a prominent component vendor. You know nothing.

Actually, cretin, check out the latest Access vs. Oracle flamefest over
in the comp.databases groups. Why do you think Oracle's selling the Cult
of Larry instead of database servers?

Actually, imbecile, VB uses the same back-end code generator as VC++. For
calculations, just twiddle a few checkboxes in the Project Options, and
the two run at close to the same speed, but with the same lack of error
checking. Oh well.

Sure, the rampant race conditions and other multithreading bugs make the
rest of us *real* confident in the alleged abilities of you alleged "Real
Programmers". Feh.

All you're returning is BOOLsheet.

Perhaps, but not quite in the way you meant.

Come now, you had absolutely no clue about polymorphism or about how COM
could have just as many vbtables as a multiply-inherited C++ class. Could
your wife have left you for someone with a clue, perhaps a VB programmer?
