Hey Larry,

I do interop with Classic VB/ASP and .NET all the time. As a matter of fact we
have production ASP apps that use Visual Basic .NET DLLs.

Seems there's always an objection when .NET is even mentioned as a suggested
option. ;-)

� Frankly, nothing is easy to do in .NET.

Certainly not for those that don't use it. ;-)

� Paul obviously doesn't know,

Correct. It looks like a good option.

That's up to him to decide, not you.

thanks for the thought anyway. ;-)

perfectly.
