Worked this one out. I added a new class derived from CFrameWnd and put that inside the initial SplitterWindow. Then I had a second splitter inside the the CFrameWnd.

Thanks very much David, John

OOPs, I didn't realise that the third parameter was the resource ID, I thought it was some combination of default flags. Thanks very much!

Thanks! That is scary. Could be it, although I've been using the win2000/Norton Antivirus/Visual C++ combo for 3 years now. But I will shutit down now.

I would advice keeping all the data in the same database as that makes maaging the databases like backup etc. easy. Else if you want to stick to the multiple database option, you can definately store the common data in a common database and then acess the tables using notation [Common DB Name].[Table Owner].[Table Name]. As far as stored procedures are concerned, I would recommend keeping copy of same in all databases as using three part concvention as mentioned above will make the stored procedures creepy and bad performing.

Thanks David, got the info i needed in Q103861

Brilliant! Thanks. John

Thanks, Got the answer in Handling Exceptions, Part 17 in MSDN by using a 'Translator Function' to bind SEH to the more friendly C++ Exception handling mechanism. Work's perfectly! John

I manually enter any DDX mapping because my Class Wizard doesn't like my code since I map my controls to data members of pointers to CDocument classes: DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_COLL_PRES_EDIT, m_WallData->m_CollapsePressure); So it's always handy to have a list of Control names.

Thanks Pavel, The Static Frame control's ClassName is 'Button' so now I have to work out how to differentiate between it and other Button types.

Thanks Prem It works now. I'm using the following in OnPaint... CFont* pFont; CFont* pOrigFont; pFont= GetFont(); pOrigFont = pdc->SelectObject(pFont); pdc->SetBkColor(GetSysColor(COLOR_BTNFACE)); pdc->TextOut(40,40,"Mean Flow Velocity (m/s)");

Thanks, I've tried it but no luck. The OnKickIdle method isn't called. I'll keep trying but in case anybody has spare time here's a checklist of what's going on: -Toolbar has same resource ID as menu. The buttons have same IDs as menu items. Menu items are updated Okay but toolbar isn't -Class has CDlgTool member, which is derived from CToolbar and has OnIdleUpdateCmdUI method, which isn't called -Dlg shown non-modally m_calcDlg=new CCalcDlg(this); m_calcDlg->Setup(m_report,m_UBuckling); m_calcDlg->Create(); m_calcDlg->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL); After this I swear I'll never write a CDialog based app. ever again! bye, John

The difference is that an array is a wrapper around the data, therefore, the correct answer remains &v[0];. A vector of int's is a block of ints, the first one being at &v[0];. v has nothing to do with int's or memory, it is an instance of the vector class. In fact, if you want a pointer to an element, you must dereference an iterator, then ask for the address, exactly as you have put it: &(*(V)). VC6 wrongly will accept the iterator as a pointer, VC7 corrects this. Christian I am completely intolerant of stupidity.
