I have started programming again after a several year vacation from code. Our main software at work is built in VB6 and one of my first tasks is to build an interaction with an annoying piece of IBM software called OnDemand. Are there any fellow VB6 users out there who might know of a good site (other than the main IBM supprt page)? I have been searching online for the past 2 days and I am beginning to feel like I am the only one in the country who is trying to work with this thing.

Sorry; last time I worked with VB6.0 was back in '03 when I had my class. _________________ "I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat." -Edgar Allen Poe"I knew there was something special about you, but I never realized you were really a cat." Wolfwood to a random cat (Trigun)

Thanks for the condolences. I posted this same question to a programmer's forum and all I got was "call IBM."
And therein lies the problem with languages like VB and ASP. They are tough to get support from the general populace. Languages like Delphi, PHP, etc have HUGE support forums where every day folks are more than happy to help. _________________ Mordel Blacknight - Site Administrator

It is not the VB6 help that I am having trouble getting. It is the help with the IBM OnDemand server. I have spent the last 2 weeks using up all my free time (what little I get) refining the first half of my project. Now that I am getting back to this I have an e-mail sent to IBM. Hopefully they can give me the answer that I am looking for. Otherwise I will have to make an ugly macro to finish this thing. With the multitasking we do while on the phone with customers, macros are a bad thing. One e-mail pop-up box and my fancy setup is broken.
