    why VB more popular than C# and Java?

    Its historically easier that C++ etc, with less power. Most companies do not need this extra "power" / flexibility so VB became popular. Rest assured that any programmer gives greater respect to c++ programmers because it harder to learn. (Unless of course they are a VB programmer ? ) Tom
