It allows you to "watch the play in slow motion," just as you might during a sporting event. Was it, or was it not, a goal? You can't always tell at real-time speed. Of course, if you're simply unable to pay attention at any speed, this won't help at all. But for the observant folk, those interested in and attuned to finer detail, it can easily make all the difference. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

I understand what the F8 key can do if you have the code or control already in your app. But if you haven't learned about the technology to begin with, it isn't going to be in your code for you to F8 no matter what. Thus, you can't toss out the book or you don't know what you can possibly do. Therefore, "Screw the book. Just roll up your sleeves, and become one with the F8 key." does not make sense to me. Case in point: Right now, I have a blank screen with no code on it and wondering how I'm going to tackle the file download problem. Hit the F8 key now and I will get...nothing. Thus, time to read a book (or go to those links NOBODY provided, etc.). Thanks. :-) Webbiz
