LOL, now Chuck's gonna beat vote you down! Never forget: "Stay kul and happy" (I.A.) David's thoughts / dnhsoftware.org / MyHTMLTidy

If you're going to criticise someone's spelling in that way it would be wise to learn to spell 'sandwich'! ;P Phil

The service was already set to automatic and the service was started and I have a constant connection to the internet. It seems to be working today when I click the Update button. I did reboot yesterday, maybe that jogged it. Still doesn't explain why the date in the OS reset itself to 2002, after I fixed the date in the BIOS the first time I booted with the new battery. Still, I stand behind my argument that I shouldn't have to babysit the clock in my OS if I simply replaced the battery on the motherboard. I fixed the date in the BIOS the first time it loaded after the new battery install, thinking that was all I needed to do. The OS should see that and load up as it did before. The OS does that for all the other goodies in the BIOS, ie. memory settings, hard drives, etc... Maybe my expectations are just too high;P Lesson learned is that after changing the battery on a motherboard, set the BIOS time and set the OS time:cool: Jim

So maybe the partial feature would be nice way to factor out each interface implementation into its own source file. You could also say that whenever you face this choice of division with interface implementations you could make a run at creating new classes (rather than use the partial class technique) and see how it works out with those classes:) Jim
