I had problems with voting too :(
The new verfication system isnt all that good. The verification code is not very clear. Small and caps cant be distinguished. I could vote only after 2-3 tries.
Otherwise your code is good... 5 from me ;)

A little mistake: In Program 1 in the section 4 I typed "Program 2 (in section 5)", but it should be "Program 2 (in section 4)"
I don't have time to change it now, but it should not disturb, it's just a typing mistake.

Edin Omeragic, LinkTopic and LinkExecute can be whatever you want, you can choose them yourself.

So then how would I communicate with another real app? Like Taking info from your app and place it in specific places on say excel or quicken? I have seen almost zero examples of this and this helps but only a little.

One small note - use Unload Me instead of End in Prog 2. (also don't need to set Cancel = 0 in Case as this will let the sub finnish and other cleanup occur :)

Shabbir, it's my work, heh, normaljukk :D
BlessedMan, ok, I should have mentioned "communicating between vb apps"
Rde, that is very old code, I am much better in programming now, but I don't use VB any more (for a long time for now) and I am too lazy to fix the code. But thank you for good words :)
Thank you everydbody for those good words! :)
