If you completely forget from your VB6 time that in that a form is loaded, than direct a lot in VBNet becomes easier. A form is instanced and after that showed.

But ;-) We have XmlDocument.Load & XmlDocument.Save, as well DataSet.Load, DataTable.Load, Project.Load (MS Build), plus a plethora of other Load methods... True, the UI itself the action is commonly called Open, however it appears a number of objects call the behavior Load... NOTE: I *would* expect it to be OpenFileDialog, to match the UI. I would also expect XmlDocument.Load as you are loading a file into an existing object... -- Show quoteHide quoteHope this helps Jay B.

Load=>Open, get data, close. Andrew Andrew,
My point exactly! "File - Open" commonly does an open, read, followed by a close. While "File - Save" commonly does an open, write, followed by a close. -- Show quoteHide quoteHope this helps Jay B.

Actually my point was that the UI "standard" is to show Open & Save, while object's behavior is to have Load & Save All the OpenFileDialog is doing is getting the name of the file to open. Its not performing the Load operation per se... Yes Cor from a User perspective File Open really does a "Load", however I'm not going to debate what the UI standard should have been verses what the standard is... -- Show quoteHide quoteHope this helps Jay B.

In my opinion should be the term in the menu for a file have been chosen as "load" because we use as save for that and for a "view" show. It is nicely to see when you look what translations are taken for those. In a Dutch menu (where for years only English was used) we use now Openen as a direct translation from the English. However for Save we use "Opslaan" what is in English "Store". I think that Load would have been much more proper for things like a word document and an excel sheet. I can think about an Open for an Outlook view. But we are used to it and it will probably never change any more. I assume that you can remember you still the (temporaly) trouble in documentation when Mail (the server) became Exchange and Exchange the client became Outlook.
