hey all, I am having an odd problem with the InputBox in VB.NET, and it ONLY
happens on one of my computers, the rest run the code fine. When I try
"Dim x as String = InputBox("TESTPROMPT")"
I get the following error:

Sounds like a setup problem to me. Have you tried doing a repair of your VS
..NET installation on the machine in question? (I know it's trivial, but it
has been known to fix some weird problems now and then...<g>)
