Hello Richard,

I took your VB 101 class and wondered why this VB code I ran across on the internet doesn't have the same wording as the code shown in this class.
I was trying to find a code that would create a message box where you could enter a word and it would say it for you. I thought I could try to reconcile their VB code with what I learned in your class, but it did not have the same wording you used, like 'msgbox', 'Private sub', etc. Their code started the routine with 'Dim message' and had 'message=InputBox("Text","More Text")'. I was to paste the code into Notepad--it wasn't created in VB--is it a different VB language b/c it wasn't made in VB? Do you know the name of the code?

Thank you for your help. I enjoyed your class.

I'd have to see the code you're talking about, but VB6 (which is what I use) certainly supports the DIM and INPUTBOX commands.
