Glad I could help. :-D The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Checked all of those things, and I also repaired the installation of VS and reinstalled SP1 + Vista Fix; didn't change anything. Nor did anything change on my system - except the installation of the latest hotfixes for Windows. So I guess one of those was just a bit too hot... http://www.renderpal.com http://www.shoran.de

I am not talking about an existing directory - the directory string is just empty (and I checked that a million times). In fact, even if I never touch the variable holding the directory it still fails for some reason. (strCurDir.IsEmpty() ? NULL : strCurDir) This is the part that fails. Even if IsEmpty() returns true, it still passes something invalid (an empty string as I assume). And I used your workaround already, and yes, it worked. I am not really looking for a solution, I just want to know why that simple statement fails, even if it is correct. But I guess it's really a compiler bug... can't explain otherwise.

You were obviously thinking about future extensions and nice features you could add within the DoNothing function. I bet if you had to continue to work on the game today you would be happy the handy DoNothing you put there many years ago. And people would be wondering, how could someone be so brilliant when he was only 14 or 15? :-D My .NET Business Application Framework My Home Page

You'd have to ask Tak that one. I was simply helping Neville see potentially hidden text. "The pointy end goes in the other man." - Antonio Banderas (Zorro, 1998)

No, your assumptions are wrong. My buffer is not 1024, and I am not sending it (as I stated, I CANNOT send it, I can't guess the contents of these packets). It is not that simple. The socket on my side is async, but that doesn't matter. I can't say what kind of socket the other program is using (I don't think that they use MFC at all). And code snippets won't help - it's a simple derivated socket which receives stuff and sends a small reply (and this reply does not contain garbage, nor is it 1024 bytes long). I can only say that these packages cannot come from my app. I neither can guess the contents of them (that would solve my problems, lol), nor do I send anything at that time (I only send sth. when I receive sth., and as I stated, I don't receive anything after a while... and even if I don't send anything at all these 1024 byte packages arrive at the other app).

Take alook at the MFC code in void CDocument::OnFileSendMail() for sending the current document as an attachment. It shoudl hopefully show you what you need to do. I did a modification of this that added many attachments. Roger Allen - Sonork 100.10016 If your dead and reading this, then you have no life!

Well, the "solution" won't help anyone, since it just was one file that seemed to confuse VS so that IntelliSense refused to work. Removing the (really crappy formatted and bloated) file solved it.

You need to look into creating a "Designer" for your control.
