The application starts up o.k. in Windows 7 on a Mac running Windows in Boot
Camp and displays the tools menu. The few tools I tried seemed to work o.k.
but when closing a tools window in a "Run-time error '75': Path/File access
error".

on my Windows laptop, which I don't think is an atypical modern Windows

completely unreadable. The UI is basically broken. I am attaching an image
showing three basic windows from your application, all of which are
unreadable.

probably need a much more modern VB development solution before you can put
this out for actual "beta" testing. I haven't used "stand-alone VB" in over a
decade though I program in VB.net every day and indeed the whole NavList
forum is built on that framework. You need an upgrade. Have you installed any
versions of Visual Studio? For this project, you could use one of the FREE
editions.

Hewitt, you're on a Mac and/or iPad, right? You could run it in an emulator,
but not native Mac (OSX) and certainly not on an iPad.
