Hi My only thoughts would be.. why? Since Microsoft has officialy dropped any support for Java, why not move to a better more flexible environment that could do what you've requested. Some free ones are: Netbeans or Forte (at sun.com) or even Jbuilder or Visual Cafe... My fav is Jbuilder but I'm learning to like Forte also. Hope this helps.
Bosman4_4 The Java Ranch has thousands of visitors every week, many with surprisingly similar names. To avoid confusion we have a naming convention, described at "JavaRanch Naming Policy" . We require names to have at least two words (not just letters), separated by a space, and strongly recommend that you use your full real name. We want to get to know you as a Professional. Please choose a new name which meets the requirements and re-register. Cindy

P.S. It is J++ that MicroSoft has stopped supporting, they have not YET totally committed to giving up Java completely. But I agree. Get a better IDE.
Microsoft Visual J++ is a Java IDE for editing, compiling, and debugging Java source code. It also provides GUI editing tools that generate code for you you. Visual J++ added some extensions to the pure Java language that you can easily disable. The latest version of Visual J++ is 6.0. It supports JDK 1.1.� In order to use JDK 1.2, JDK 1.3, or beyond you must follow the procedure below: Modify the CLASSPATH in the registry. Run RegEdit.exe and locate the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Java VM and modify the CLASSPATH string to include the rt.jar file from you JDK distribution. For example: c:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3\lib\rt.jar needs to be added to the end of the CLASSPATH string, and don't forget the semi-colon separating each entry in the string. Also note the "." at the end of the CLASSPATH string.
