Thx 4 ur advice. I tried it and it turns out that it was rasphone.pbk on Documents and Settings\All users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk. Setting it to *not* read-only solves my problem. Thx, Guus

Use the Height, Width, Left, and Top properties for operations or calculations based on an object's total area, such as sizing or moving the object. Use the ScaleLeft, ScaleTop, ScaleHeight, and ScaleWidth properties for operations or calculations based on an object's internal area, such as drawing or moving objects within another object.

Jesse, Depends on what you want to do and how you want to get the information into excel really. If you are doing a query to get the raw data into excel and average the results from there you could use something like the following in your Query "select table1.duration, (cast(left(table1.duration,2) as int) *60)+cast((right(table1.duration,2))as int) as seconds from table1" assuming the duration is MM:SS, this will add a field called 'Seconds' which would be a numeric value to your query. it would then be simple to average the seconds using an excel function.

Have you tried storing dates as strings? Easy to display in the format you want and easy to convert correctly to date/time format for any calculations that you need to perform on them. Just be sure to confirm the value is a valid date before storing (use isdate() function) Jon

The query runs fine but creating a report using the wizard based on the query result in #Error or #Fout in my case. Accompanied by error 3021: No current record. How can i pinpoint the problem?

Hi there. Subclassing is the act of deriving a new class by inheriting from an existing class. You would do this if you wanted to take advantage of functionality in the base class and add functionality of your own. For example, let's say you want a text box for your windows forms application, but one that accepts only numbers and ignores other characters typed from the keyboard. In most ways, you want your text box to behave just like a regular text box; you just want the additional functionality that limits keyboard entry to numbers only. You could create a subclass of the TextBox class by inheriting it, then override keyboard handling methods to insure that only numbers are allowed.

But not every element you see on the screen or every object in memory has a Window Handle. gpa2000 wrote: using this hWnd you can color the background of a treeview or do all sorts of thing Uhhh...not exactly. The hWnd is the identifier for a Window that you can use to talk to the Window or other functions that take a hWnd as an input parameter. The Win32 API is FULL of funtions that use hWnd and not just for modifiying control properties. There isn't any one article that covers all the uses for Window Handles, but you can start here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/windows.asp[^] RageInTheMachine9532

Many thanks. Your link was most useful. Seems that a Trojan.Bookmarker variant, Trojan.Bookmarker.B also found its way to my computer. Had to remove ctrlpan.dll also. Again Thnx Grtz, Guus

I am using VB6
