Hi,
I am an experienced VB programmer crossing over to MSVC 5.0.
The main thing I see missing from this package is the Form editor.
How do I make a form in MSVC? Also, how do I put controls on it?

Thanks in advance,
Hexie

The only way to make a "form" (as you know it from VB) is with the dialog resource editor. This allows you to visually add *some* of the controls you are used to (though the interface is considerably different than VB). The form you create can be directly dropped into a dialog-based app, or you can map it to a class derived from CFormView in a Doc/View-based app.
