I dont know whether there are "millions" of qbers out there but there are modest numbers of us still around 8) Ok, about your question. No, you can't create a windows "window" in QB. For that you will have to use FB (FreeBasic) or VB (Visual Basic).

Is there a difference in the code from free basic and qb 4.5? Or are the the same?

most things that a newbie would start out with in qb work perfectly in fb, and then you can naturally progress into things like page flipping, which are actually built into the language, unlike qb.

on my other post i showed you something with chr(0) + "H" for instance, in fb that would be chr$(255) + "H" just little differences like that.. nothing extremely important in qb has been taken out of fb, only maybe changed (usually slightly)
