A post about this technology is less effective than a fullblown-article; here it might even attract flames, since it's not a programming_question_. An article OTOH doesn't have to contain a question, but can also be used to introduce new idea's or frameworks. Plus they're easier to find through Google ;) I are troll :)

So right :laugh: The tigress is here :-D

I'm guessing that you are seeing the System font which looks very old. Try m_pEdit->ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, 0); m_pEdit->SetFont(&newfont); m_pEdit->SetWindowText(strText); where newfont is a CFont that you find acceptable.

Sure, if you can group your large an small buttons. Just add another toolbar with the larger buttons. Also if you wish to do it programatically you must leave MFC and build a win32 app. Best Wishes, ez_way

I myself have had difficulty with short date fields in MS Access. Possible Solutions: Verify (without reformatting) the COleDateTime value that is actually returned from your table. Mine have sometimes included time even though I have set it to be exclusively a date. Also becuase you are using a short date, you must use two digits to express the year so: str.Format("[ProductID] = '%s' AND [Date] = #%s#", m_pSet->m_strProductID, COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime().Format(_T("%#m/%#d/%y"))); Good luck.
