How many people on this list use VB?Im really interested is Visual Age RPG
any good .So far I cant get a answer as to whether this will work on the
desktop without being connected to the AS/400.
I have heard that you can devolp stand alone windows apps-nothing to do
with the AS/400 with Visual Age--is this correct???

cheers Dave
PS: thers is only one book avaible on Visual Age RPG - a disapointing slim
expensive volume and there does not appear to be the support out there
about this product.You also have to buy software for the AS/400 when you
purchase Visual Age as part of the kit--even if its useless for all us
users that have a small cisc
box at home.
