That's a good point.  Like I said, as long as it gets packaged with
the installer, and it fits on a CD, I guess that's fine.  An internet
connection is not guaranteed.

Not an issue.  99.9% of the users have windows.  I would like it to be
able to run on windows 95 or 98 if possible though.  I think VB should
be able to handle that just fine.  The GUI isn't a want, it's a need.
 I need the interface to be extremely user friendly.  Thanks for the
