Ok, Budric's response was more or less correct. It's been six days. Has this been resolved? "Ideas are a dime a dozen. People who put them into action are priceless." - Unknown

Hey it's nice to here someone from back home is trying to share the wealth! This may not be the best place to look for programs for a beggining class, although there are a lot of articles here for begginers. It depends on what level of programs you are looking for: are they just to show what can be done or are they ment to show how to do it? There are articles here that can do both (more or less), but most are for peaple who already now how to program. One place to look for programs, is in archives, like the C/C++ User Journal (formaly C User Journal), they have programs going back for years (since before Windows or even DOS as we know it). Another source is university sights, some universities may even still have a BBS in place. When I started programming, I spent a great deal of time visiting the North Carolina State University (NCSU) BBS. One more sugestion: Grab a book on computer terms (dictionary) look up the subject of interest and use the information there to determine what keywords to search for, then start googling!:-D Good Luck and have a great day!

If I understand your question you have been simply running your project from the IDE ( pressing F5 or CTRL-F5 etc. ) When you do this, before the program runs it is first compiled, and an executable is created ( e.g. yourapplication.exe ) The location of this executable can be found by looking at Project->Settings on the [Link] tab. Make sure you have the correct project and build debug or release) selected in the left pane, and the name and location of the executable will appear in the "Output file name" edit box ( you can change this ) If the path is a relative path it is relative to the project path (where your source code is stored) Using Windows Explorer you can copy (or drag-and-drop) that executable file onto your desktop (or anywhere else) or simply make a shortcut to it on your taskbar. By default it will have the blue MFC icom but you can change that by editing IDR_MAINFRAME in the 'Icon' resource Steve T

Like you would any other library! You need to be more specific! Figure out what you want to know, make a list. Search the net for posted articles, then come back with specific questions.

well yes u can..... character is just i byte where as and integet is four bytes..... by doing the above code.....that u have listed.....u will get the ascii value of the character...... search for the ascii table....it will give the corresponding values for a character variable..... in ur case the character 'c' has an intef=ger value of 99..... cheerz.....:-D "faith, hope, love remain, these three.....; but the greatest of these is love" -1 Corinthians 13:13
