Well, I think perhaps the richest man in the world would disagree with your assessment;> However, Microsoft didn't get to where it is today by producing good software. That said, perhaps the poster (and/or you) might want to take a quick look at:

Actually, truth be told, after having recently read numerous articles on the many (and scary) security vulnerabilities inherent in quite a number of the major Internet protocols in use today, I can't say that I agree that using VBA is any less secure than a "Web app" employing "HTTP services", as you have suggested. Not to mention the fact that the poster didn't actually mention any security requirements - he could be developing this for a completely in-house LAN, for example.

So I still maintain that 2nd-generation database management tools are a good option for (ambitious) projects like the one described.

What you've written is so far from what anyone would call a "solution", it's laughable. You've basically stated, "If you're code isn't working, you must be doing something wrong." Wow, pure genius. Wish I'd thought of that. Next time you have nothing whatsoever to offer other than meritless insults, please keep it to yourself. Thanks.

He's already handling it as a modeless Dialog Box - can you say "DefWindowProc"?
