before someone trash on VB.

Well, yes, the code is a mess. But i was doing it for a friend in a rush, and i was getting paid for it, to deliver it on time.
Which, btw, i did, ka-fucking-ching! $$!!

But yeah Snow, i agree with you. And i will probably re-write this, now that i have no deadline.

My question was : "why does this if statement ever return true, when i am pretty sure its true", hell i even did this :

label1.caption = "1"
label2.caption = "2"
if label1.caption = label2.caption then
msgbox "it works!"
end if

and it didnīt return me true.

But i fugured why.
I took one If out of the chain, and it work.

The second if statement condition (the one that wasnīt necessary) was the key to get it to work, i simple ended it before checking label1 and label2 and it works. I tried to delete it, but then label1 and label2 returned to their never checking condition.
So i guess it was somewhat necessary.



Now,
VB is understimated. You can do a lot with VB. Its not the best language, true, but at least, i donīt have to type 400 fucking lines to get a fucking simple window drawn in my screen. (Visual C++ ? beh) I havenīt tried .Net stuff properly to say anything, because i donīt own it, and i didnīt feel like downloading all that stuff to do simple codes.

Delphi, on the other hand, seems to be the shit. However, i donīt have time to learn it. Or i am too stupid for it, which is a possibility. Which might be the problem with me learning C and its variants too.

Anyway, VB is not the root of all evil, like some people make it. Its a simple tool, for coding simple programs to do stuff. The kids that try to code a fucking operating system in VB are the stupid ones. Or the ones who thinks they can write a full 3D clone of Quake or whatever is the FPS of the moment using only VB.
But i am aware of its limitations. And for a simple dbase application, VB works, and very well, may i add.

But yeah.. what you said. hehe.
