1. A FEW WORDS FROM THE EDITOR
This newsletter keeps growing and has reached 1650 subscribers in total.
The newsletter can grow in contents and subscribers ONLY thanks to your
collaboration. If you are the author of an article about Visual Basic,
or if you solved a programming problem and want to share your code,
please submit it to us so we can publish it. Links to interesting
material in the web are also most welcome. Please forward this
newsletter to colleagues and friends who might be interested in this
publication, or send them the link:

I'd like to invite you to join our Visual Basic forum at Yahoo! Groups
where you can exchange experience with other VB programmers:
VISUAL BASIC PROGRAMMING (FORUM / MAILING LIST)
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vbasic-en
vbasic-en-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
The forum has quite a few members and almost no messages, but we expect
it'll reach the critical mass some day. BTW, we've just opened a new
forum for searching/recommending Software Components (ActiveX objects,
DLL libraries, VCL and CLX components, and the like) as well as
utilities, tutorials, information, etc.

2. PROYECTOVB - Free software for VB developers
¿What is ProyectoVb?
====================
ProyectoVb is a Chilean web site dedicated to the development of freely
distributable aplications made 100% in VB.

Applications
============
Currently you can find the following applications:
* Project Explorer 1.0.14 Beta
It's a QA (Quality Assurance) tool. Analyzes your project developed in
Visual Basic and measures the quality of your work. It removes all the
code not being used, which will allow you yo genereate smaller
executables. It supports Visual Basic 3, 4, 5 and 6. Work is in
progress to support VB .NET. It graphically displays all subs,
funtions, variables, constants, types, enumerations, arrays, APIs,
controls, events, properties and it also analizes the selected
