Sorry Sorry for the interference once again ... You can also use windows dll file as a declaration and then use the particular api using api viewer .. you can develop backend and frontend apps.. U can add graphics / animation using components .. you can use winsock control to create a client - server app .. But you must be a good professional programmer to do all this. So go on develop your skills in
Vb other than going for toughies..
I ALWAYS PREFER TO DO THINGZ THE EASIEST WAY POSSIBLE ..
Hope most ppl do the same
