You are mixing a lot of odd environments here. What version of windows, what version
of VB, what IBM software is installed to allow the BPCS access? FIRST, this is off topic
and does not belong on this list, second, I would say that most any communication
software which is added to your machines will mess them up. VB, IBM rumba (or
whatever) are very buggy. They have so many dependencies that they are easily
broken, especially the older versions.

On Windows I use Opera 6.0 as my primary browser. When I encounter

I kind of liked Opera. It was faster than Netscape. But it didn't do all the Netscape plug-ins. Some sites just didn't work. (Of course, there are some sites that don't work with Nestcape either.) However. there was a home-written V-B program that allowed Windows to access the IBM AS 400 BPCS server in a GUI mode,and after I loaded Opera into about 4 machines, the phone-book program ceased to work on all of them. I could never solve the problem, even after removing Opera, and the IT department will only work on it if they are allowed to wipe the drive of the affected machines. (Thus losing all the programs that have had to be "installed" like AutoCad, Lotus, etc.) The Opera people say it's not them, but it sure as heck is. It only happened on the machines I tried Opera on.
So now I'm spooked. I know Opera has a new version (since about a month ago) but how can I trust them?
