        Having just helped install a new PC for a friend and having to suggest various apps that I think she needs I thought it would be interesting to ask the experts what they find essential. Here is my list of apps that I cannot do without: - Macromedia Fireworks - Jasc Paint Shop Pro - WinZip - MS Outlook - MS Word - MS Visio - Visual Interdev - SQL Enterprise Manager - CuteFTP - ICQ - Sonork - Acrobat - MS Internet Explorer - Netscape - Notepad (so handy!) - Terminal Services Seeing as most of my development is ASP, HTML and JavaScript I don't need much in the way of debugging tools or compilers. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

Does that programme actually work? I have heard claims but never really tested them out. Also does anyone not change the start menu structure? I know I put my apps into a very different menu structure to the default. It confuses uninstall apps like hell though. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

I knew a guy who wrote all the back-end processing for an e-commerce application in C++. It was pretty good and very fast. The front-end was all ASP and HTML of course. Also our web content management system has a Word like content editing application with spell checking, full formatting, importing, exporting etc. Much like using Word, only not as infuriating. It is written all in ASP with XML/XSL and a SQL back-end. Of course it uses a VB COM component for the hard stuff but you would be amazed what you can do with Internet Explorer, DHTML and a COM component. You can make a very good UI in a web browser and the COM component does all the data crunching bits. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

                                      Having just helped install a new PC for a friend and having to suggest various apps that I think she needs I thought it would be interesting to ask the experts what they find essential. Here is my list of apps that I cannot do without: - Macromedia Fireworks - Jasc Paint Shop Pro - WinZip - MS Outlook - MS Word - MS Visio - Visual Interdev - SQL Enterprise Manager - CuteFTP - ICQ - Sonork - Acrobat - MS Internet Explorer - Netscape - Notepad (so handy!) - Terminal Services Seeing as most of my development is ASP, HTML and JavaScript I don't need much in the way of debugging tools or compilers. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

                                        So your saying the *hard* UI bits are done in COM objects, I was thinking about ActiveX web components the other day, surely you limiting your audience relying on COM objects. :confused: Normski. - Professional Windows Programmer
