If the number of columns * width of the columns is not bigger than the width of the ListCtrl... your scrollbar won't appear Greetings. -------- M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

2Ilya: Thank you for link (Спасибо за ссылочку!). I nave another question: how can I get field data format string. When I used DAO, I got this string by DAOProperty::GetValue call. For example, this string looks like "General Number","General Date","Long Date" or something like "#,##0.00."p.";=#,##0.00"p."".

Hi Jackson, I am afraid it's been many years since I worked on DDE so I can only suggest a few things. Have you tried using DDE Spy to see if that can help diagnose the problem. Also, see this link as it has a lot of DDE Infomation[^] Also, has the client been started as administrator or just the server ? Alternative technologies for inter-process communication include: Memory mapped files, named pipes, tcp/ip, etc. regards, Jonathan Wilkes Darka[Xanya.net]

Yes, you are right. It's dBase thing. But it was main problem for me. ODBC interprets dBase database as folder, where dbf files are located, and dbf files as tables of this database.
