Scratch

for gershmer (regarding EmeraldEasy): Nice try, but it's not proper programming, is it? Just playing around with Visual C#. I started from that. But anyway, can you give me the sources, please? I'll see what I can do.

for Everyone: My internet connection is now working, so I'll be there more often.

marky, J# is well outdated since Microsoft removed it from VS. Try C# - it's simpler and easier. And more widely used. I use mostly C#.

When you have a menu item open in the design mode, double-click your About item. The editor will go to the code. Then, when you're there, type in:

aboutBox1 o = new aboutBox1();   // Create an object we'll gonna start with
o.ShowModal(this);  // Show as a modal box, that if you click on the main window, it will blink and refuse focus.
  // Otherwise, use o.Show(this);

That's the easy way. The other way, which saves much memory, is to put the

aboutBox1 oAboutBox;

below the class opening bracket '{', and then, below the line which says InitializeComponent();, put this:

oAboutBox = new aboutBox1 ();

Then, in the event handler (the function with object sender, EventArgs e arguments, usually called aboutMenuStripItem1_Click or something), write:

oAboutBox.ShowModal(this);  //or oAboutBox.Show(this);

That's because all the objects created on-the-fly must be cleaned after the function quits, which makes garbage collector work a lot (therefore take system resources).

Is that clear?

Why can't I open any file from your FTP server in my Visual Studio, Gersh?

I was trying to edit the Emerald website, when VS came up with "Unable to get file '[name here' from the Web server". Is it something with your config?

ok... what do i need to save the webpages as? if it helps, im using Serif WebPlus X2.

Analogy:

That's interesting... I'll take a look.
