Open the file with IE5+ and save it as a .mht (something like a multipart email message). As far as I know you can only open such a file with IE5+, however. Paolo ------ "airplane is cool, but space shuttle is even better" (J. Kaczorowski)

Well, I would be glad to help you, if I could, but I can't see how. :) If all you do is reading from the database, and you can convert each "HTML+pictures" record to a ".mht" record, then no problem. If you need to write such records from your program, obviously you have to know how to produce a ".mht". What I know about it is that it's a multipart MIME message, in fact if you rename it to .eml you can open it with OutlookExpress. Paolo ------ "airplane is cool, but space shuttle is even better" (J.

What is the purpose of the .chm file? Is is specific to a particular program or something? That info sure would help me help you.... :) -Reid the C++/C# programmer (Caution: I am a teenager, and that means that I think I know everything...but probably don't...) Maybe this will help you understand: CPerson Reid = "Teenager"; CPerson All_C_Programmers[9999999999]; int i; int num_Programmers_That_Are_Teenagers = 0; for (i=0;i<9999999999;i++) { if (All_C_Programmers[i]=="Teenager") { num_Programmers_That_Are_Teenagers++; } } cout << num_Programmers_That_Are_Teenagers; ------------- 1 <------

The ClipCursor function confines the cursor to a rectangular area on the screen. If a subsequent cursor position (set by the SetCursorPos function or the mouse) lies outside the rectangle, the system automatically adjusts the position to keep the cursor inside the rectangular area. BOOL ClipCursor( CONST RECT *lpRect // pointer to structure with rectangle ); RECT r; POINT p; GetClientRect(hWnd,&r); p.x=r.left; p.y=r.top; ClientToScreen(&p); UINT w=r.right-r.left; UINT h=r.bottom-r.top; r.left=p.x; r.top=p.y; r.right=r.left+w; r.bottom=r.top+h; why am i doing this !? if you capture the mouse inside a window and you right click the title bar it gets free ! this way it doesn`t ! Make sure to make your window system modal ! because if you loose control of the locked mouse RESET helps you brother ! //ate me or hate me I am the mighty keeper of the book on knowledge .

I should also mention that the reason I suggested copying to a DIBSection is that GetPixel is painfully slow compared to iterating through the bits using the pointer a DIBSection's constructor gives you.
