Well my old editor has always been color coded but only prints black and white. If the code's difficult I get around that by shooting gif's and printing the gif's. If it's real difficult I splice the gif's so blocks are confined to a legal size page, otherwise letter size is preferable.

My point is be sure to suggest Matt enable color printing if it's not built in. Otherwise the benefit's of color coding are lost... and the best way through a difficult project is by printing it and making corrections on the printout. It's less tedious and more relaxing, especially since the corrections can be done in a recliner or laying on a couch.

Brooke,

One thing you might want to consider is a simple code management system to manage and protect your code. I use Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. It allows you to check in and check out code, and keep multiple versions. That way if you make a change and then realize that you shouldn't have, you can get a prior version of the code. Works great!

Here's a link: microsoft.com

I'm sure that there are cheaper alternatives out there also.

Regards,

Dan.
