That's a pretty vague question. If you are referring to forms... i.e. how to create a GUI (graphical user interface) application, that looks like that of a Visual Basic application, in C++: you will need to look for info on Windows API or MFC. This, of course, will depend on the type of compiler that you are using. MFC is a C++ solution, found in the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler -- this is the "Visual" part of Visual C++. Windows API is generally C-based and works in Borland and Microsoft Windows-based C and C++ compilers. Do a search on Windows API for a basic Window/form example. Rob Marriott
