This is ok but does not work. After downloading the level designer, I discovered lots of syntax errors in the hta code. after trying to repair them, the level designer still wouldnt work. there seems to be missing functions as well. Overall, an informative series and very unique on the web. So unique in fact, it should be worked on to include a working example.

Very interesting column.

I wonder if HTML Applications can be used to develop a new family of virus. Any comment is appreciated.

When I try to load or save, I get the error "The path you have specified does not exist" even though it shows up in the common dialog control. The error code (-2147467259 ) displays in vb as [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
I get this in W2k and 98.
