Fong, You have a few resources available to you: - Migrating from Site Server to Commerce Server 2000 http://www.microsoft.com/commerceserver/techinfo/deployment/2000/wp\_sscemigration.asp - CS2K Product Docs: Migrating the Membership Directory http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/prodtechnol/comm/proddocs/cs2000/cs\_gs\_membershipmigr\_oaak.asp - Membership Migration tool in the tools section of the Commerce Server 2000 SDK Cheers! Colin

There are no restrictions on having them on the same box. The rule of thumb is that for higher demand environments you want to look at seperating applications on to their own servers. Cheers! Colin

Check out the Device Driver Development Kit (http://www.microsoft.com/ddk) docs section on bugchecks. It also has some good strategies for debugging (KD/WinDBG). Cheers! Colin

Nope, I never had the chance to work with OWL. I began programming Borland with Delphi3 and MSVC vith 1.5. I do the contrary : for my own utilities -in CBuilder- I use MFC DLL's which produce smaller code ;)) The drawback of Borlands products compared to MS is that you've got to provide the runtime DLL's with your application. It make those hard to deploy on the Web. So you're an OWL nostalgic ? Hope, I won't ever be a C++ one ;)) Either Borland or MSVC I love that language. Yarp

Thanks, I was looking for the impossible! Regards, Kevin.

Along these lines, is there an archive of VSS scripts someplace? Stuff that someone else has already built? J

I used to use contracting agencies, but stopped for some of the reasons you have specified. Full time as a consultant with a consulting company provides me with the best of both worlds :) During my contracting daze, my contracts always specified a minimum number of hours, 40, that were to be worked. In addition to that, I always ensured that termination of the contract was a two way street. If the company wanted the right to stop work immemdiately, then I would always require the same right. If they wanted a two weeks notice to terminate, than I would ensure that the contract gave me the right to leave with two weeks notice. At one place that I was working on a development project, one day out of the blue, the entire project was shut down. All the project managers, lead programmers and such where escorted out the door with their packages. There I was, left to sweep up and play solitaire for two weeks cause it was in the contract.

YOU DID WHAT??? Fady you have just depressed me no end. My keyboard is saturated with tears. Do you realise what you've done?? I have spent the last few weeks writing a XML parser that reads a the schema, creates the database then reads in the XML files and you just sit there and casually say 'I'm using MSXML....'. I didn't know there was such a thing. All the ready made stuff costs a fortune. Excuse me a moment, I need to be alone.....*sob* We do it for the joy of seeing the users struggle.

www.download.com There are some very good freeware/shareware C/C++ compilers. Also some good links to tutorials. Though for basic C++ concepts the Mandrake Linux site has some very good links. My advice though would be to learn the C side first (don't worry its the same compiler). Many problems you see in lists such as this one, as far as C++ is concerned, tend to be because the trainee programmer has gone straight to C++ and so has missed many of the basic lessons. Too many ready made classes that users tend to think are a part of the language. Not an ounce of your C training will be wasted when your ready to move to C++.

I would have to go along with that. We used to have hardcore-pascal, hardcore-assembler etc. Remember the comment 'Pah, C will never catch on, its a weak language'. I have a confession to make. I started programming in assembler. After many years I was dragged kicking and screaming into C. After many weeks of 'What a crap language, I could do this project loads quicker in masm'. I was starting to do projects quicker, much to my annoyance. Then I started to actually like C. Specially when I wrote a utility in assembler, then wrote the same thing in C and compiled it only to discover the compiled C one ran faster than my asm one. The bastards. Did I learn a lesson? No. When C++ came out I said 'Pah, what a load of crap it will not last...... We do it for the joy of seeing the users struggle.

OK, I found the problem... I used an int to set the structsize in a loop, started at zero and incremented it until it worked. For some reason it needs to be "76" instead of "88" as sizeof(ofn) returns. Cheers, Mac

I am pretty sure that the Tahoma font is freely redistributable. Microsoft gives it away on their typography site. It is possible to distribut the font as a .ttf file and copy it into the fonts folder and register it with windows by modifying the registry. All of this can be done with a fairly simple install routine. There is probably an even simpler way to do it that I am not even aware of, there usually is. :) Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net >------------------------------------------------< "Luckily," he went on, "you have come to exactly the right place with your interesting problem, for there is no such word as 'impossible' in my dictionary.

The website has me really curious. Three days and counting ? You didn't specify where people have to be - are you only interested in people able to physically show up at your offices ?
