trying to do some project planning and gather some metrics on the projects
I've created.
I'm hoping to find something that is "freeware" as well.

On generating code with the VB6 app wizard an option appears under EDIT -
PASTE SPECIAL . What is confusing is PASTE is there as well . I have some
code from a book which shows how to determine the format of what is in the
clipboard and paste it if allowed .
