I have that issue solved - but I still have questions.  I need help with some 
of the overall stuff in Gambas (see earlier post).  I'm not a VB programmer - 
In fact I have only used VB in a very limited way.  But since I can't find 
much on Gambas I have been researching most of the questions on google using 
VB6.  Not really a lot of help but some.  Most of my programming has to do 
with Visual Foxpro.  VFP is OOP but has easy access to data.  I think VFP 
matches the thinking in Gambas.  So what I don't know about Gambas could fill 
a library.  Actually not knowing VB might be helpful.  At least I choose to 
think so.
