While I'm not an expert, I will try to answer your question. Use the TCHAR macro's for all your string manipulations (CString does this) ie. use 'TCHAR' instead of 'char' or 'WCHAR' use '_tcscpy' instead of 'strcpy', '_mbscpy', or 'wcscpy' HTH --- It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Probably because OnIdle() is called when no messages are waiting in the app's message queue. Since it's the EXE that has the queue, the EXE's OnIdle() is called. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ While I can't be correct on all matters, I can make the reassuring claim that where I am inaccurate, I am at least definitively inaccurate. :love: your :bob: with :vegemite: and :beer: Sonork ID - 100.10414 AcidHelm
