MS VB Newbie TutorialI am trying to complete the tutorial on: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/learning/newtodevelopment/choose/ I am up to this step: # In the Form1_Load event handler, type the following code. If My.Computer.Clock.LocalTime.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Saturday Or _ My.Computer.Clock.LocalTime.DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Sunday Then MsgBox("Happy Weekend!") End If # Press F5 to run your program. However when I press F5, I get 2 build errors saying: "Name 'My' is not declared." How do I declare 'My'? Can someone help me complete this tutorial? Many thanks, Peter. Peter,

Thanks for your response. I am using VB .NET 2003. Is there something different in this old version that must be causing the problem? Peter.
