just wanted to chime in on the vbvm issues. I actually worked with VB a ton in v5, 6 and even 7. After moving jobs to a java development team, I'm much more partial to java. If you had the souce code for your app, I would actually be interested in porting it to java. And, though its not quite the same, it'd be an interesting activity to port it to C#. If you would be interested in sharing the source, can you PM me ?
