Carl I used Borland C++ and OWL for about 18 months and used templates extensively, I liked that environment and the tools that Borland provided. I have missed not having that capability in VC++. We found the Borland templates to be very reliable and did not have any problems to speak of, except that code size was a bit bloated. VC++ 2.0 will support templates but will only build 32-bit applications. If you don't have any 16-Bit components then VC++ 2.0 might be a viable option. But if you have any 16-Bit components then it could be difficult to move your project to VC++ 2.0 because there aren't any easy ways to link 16 and 32 bit code. Thunks are an option but they are nasty and time consuming to work with. Michael
