Uhh.. my computer is emmiting a whining noise and the clock on my wall is turning backwards. :~

That's one of the bugs I mentioned ;) [Forum Guidelines]

Interesting comment in hindsight - over 6 years on and Windows is still very strong. Vista is becoming available and a lot of people will be making the switch. I tried Linux a few months back and as far as I can see it still isn't suitable as a home or desktop system yet. I don't have the time to learn how to fiddle about with the settings in order to get something to work that just plugs and plays on Windows. I spent a fair few days trying to figure out how to get a network card to work before I gave up and reinstalled windows. Linux will improve, but it still has a long way to go before it becomes generally acceptable as a desktop operating system.

There should be a law against "software engineers posting comments under the influence of ethanol..." :rolleyes:

gosh! Write a few thousand lines of code, sort them, save them to disk and flush the undo buffer... ;-) cYa, JayKay

Let me explain... :rolleyes: WWF is the worst case of C grade acting I have ever seen. What is even worse is the number of people who actually beleive it's real !! :eek: If someone jumped on your back like that and meant it you would be in hospital :-( It's just plain pathetic !! :mad:

Sure. Reagards, NEwman

well, that can act as a reference. Thanks.

It's been a while since I looked at JavaScript/VBScript/JScript, but one of them might have access to time zone information on the web client (?) If it's possible, you could leave all the time settings the way they are & run a script in the web page to automatically convert the timestamps to whatever "local time" is. -Jason

Alfadhly, Thanks. You provide me with good help. Yes, i was a bit "in excess" of first assign the user input to Login[i]. getch() is much better. Thanks.

There will definitely be an effect - however, I think the trick is that there is no way you can predict the effect. If a tree falls in the forest... cheers, Chris Maunder

That started appearing intermittently at about the same time they released DirectX 8 this evening. Looks like it's suffering under the strain.

Even worring was a major airport in the UK, ran a Ferranti M???? somtething (dated '71) before they renewed the system in '95 and now thats 16bit and old.

I've added the image. No help smiley yet - anyone want to send one in? Chris Maunder

Rather than use bitmap buttons, why not try this Michael Santoro's CSXButton class instead. It's a drop in CButton derived class which allows both text AND images. With this class you don't have to muck about with multiple bitmaps for the button states or include your text in the bitmap.

The SAPI (Speech Application Programmers Interface) is a generic interface which allows you to write speech recognition applications which can use any SAPI complient speech engine. Have a look at http://www.microsoft.com/speech/

Look at the CreateFile API in the Platform SDK, you can specify a device such as "\\.\A:" to open the floppy disk. This handle can then be used with DeviceIoControl function to read sectors.

Thanks for the correction.
