- Lee,

- According to what I have been told Visual Basic is the most popular
- (in terms of units sold) development environment in the world.
-
- I use both VC++, VB, and Access on a daily basis and find that VB is
- easier than VC for general apps. However, VC++ lets you did much more
- advanced development. So, if you are building general apps that the
- use "Standard forms" or some things that can be provided by VBXs or
- OCXs try Visual Basic or Access (if it DB oriented). If you need to
- develop more advanced apps or are planning on shipping to markets
- where speed and size are major concerns you may want to look at Visual
- C++.
-
- Have fun,
