You must remember though that 3rd world countries like Brazil are gradually evolving into first world countries, whilst first world countries like the United Kingdom are steadily devolving into 3rd world countries. First the state services go, then the public services, then unemployment rises exponentially, prices go up, income goes down for the poorest and up for the richest, then Britain becomes just like any corrupt 3rd world state you'd care to mention. And people call me a pessimist! ____________________ David Wulff I watch how the moon sits in the sky On a dark night shining with the light from the sun The sun doesn't give light to the moon Assuming the moon's going to owe it one It makes me think of how you act to me You do favours and then rapidly You just turn around and start asking me about Things you want back from me - Linkin Park

I agree about using the forum. I've learned as much from some of my answers as I have from my questions.:omg: Bill

try splint. it's supposed to be a version of lint, and they call it "Secure Programming Lint" or some such thing. i haven't used it though, and also forgot where on the net i found it and why i remember it even, but a simple search on google should do it. :) hmm... impuzible

Nice. It is like that wasarrested.com web site... David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk I could have created a cool signature brought to life with complex interactive DHTML, but I don't like to show off.

IIRC the transaction log contains exactly what has happened to the database, even if it hasn't happened yet. Which is why its important to the database, something could have happened there but not be reflected in the mdf. Just what I recall anyway, it could be for a different DB system altogether or something my mind made up :-P James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "Smile your little smile, take some tea with me awhile.

Michael P Butler wrote: Personally I find the C++ Builder 'gets in my way', I like the sparse approach the VC++ 6.0 takes. Funny... I think it's VC++ that gets into MY way. I mean, the resource editor seems to have lapses of dementia half the time, the classwizard has to be whack-a-mole-seven-times-a-week-ed, the toolbars on top have a life of their own, code completion gets completely lost. Every 2-3 weeks, the compiler has a fit, and decides to reset my workspace. (Try putting back 400 classes in their folders...) Half the things you CAN change at design time don't even WORK! And whose idea was it to use DIALOG UNITS. These blasted thingies are only good to mess up the layout of pages. (Example: the default font does not normally exist on Japanese computers, so the entire dialog is adjusted to the next font in line... which does not change the bloody bitmap sizes... which are by themselves not stretchable... (StretchDraw... gimme StretchDraw) And these are only a fraction of the annoyances I have to face when tackling this demon. Problems I never had with Builder. If I wanted something, I GOT it, instead of having to look for hours or days to find it out. And if it wasn't there, I could make it easily myself. Still, every time I manage to wrestle some functioning code or control from the fiend, I feel satisfaction...
