Yeah, well, I skipped the links ;). Didn't want to spent too much time on it. Sorry.

good grief, there's little that is as sad as a stupid guy who's trying to be witty.

Not reading the docs before setting up VB is one thing...and it's not like I didn't read ANY of the docs, just not the one specifically mentioned...and this is not the first time that I've installed VB on my computer.

Not reading the FAQ before starting a thread to ask questions in this forum is quite another.

Assuming that a poster just started to ask questions without reading any of the docs, even the FAQ, yet a third.

do you feel better now that I've explained that to you?

Excuse me? Are you talking about me? Consider who you're talking to. I know more about VB than most of the users here combined. The FAQ is build from my knowledge for the most part. Some things are from the manual and user input, but still the latter is because I asked some vital questions to get it solved.

"Excuse me? Are you talking about me?"

Did you just answer your own question?

Not really, I just explained a bit in case you were talking about me.
