Congrats on your pregnancy Lilian! So do you know if its a boy or a girl yet? I hope you enjoy this wonderful time in your life with your child. Good luck. :)

After I retrieve the transformed CComBSTR that is produced with XML and xsl, I wrote code to parse through the wstring to replace the CRLF with a \n. I guess Excel didn't like what xsl did to it. Lilian

Thanks, I knew this was something beyond my control/comprehension!

Congradulations! We took a different path, and got my wives parents to live with us. After the initial bit of adjustment this has worked like a charm. My wife spent 6 months at home after having each of our kids, then went back to work full time. If you can get either set of parents over to help out, by all means do so. Trust me, you will really want a second set of hands around. As for loosing your skill set, if you don't program for 5 years, then yes you will become quite rusty. I would take consulting jobs as they come along just to keep my hand in. It will take some effort, because small children are a full time job by themselves.

Good luck! I know how difficult it is to change a company's view on something like this. Anna :rose:

Just in case anyone runs into this problem, here's the solution: use the tag disable-output-escaping="yes" in your value of.

I'm in southern MD (Patuxent River) working for a defense contractor. We know we're good as long as we stay here, but we aren't interested in doing that.

Thanks for the help, y'all. I got something working using the message handler. :)

That's simple, check out the Buttons section at this site for menu button samples. It just involves handling the WM_COMMAND message and calling TrackPopupMenu(). --Mike-- "There are only a limited number of jobs where they will ask to see the sausage.

Thanks, Mike and Ravi! With your suggestions, I was able to make my stuff work. It drives me crazy, since it seems so trivial. We have to keep our HMI people happy.

Download this from MS. Quite handy reference. http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/samples/internet/default.asp?url=/downloads/samples/internet/xml/multiple\_views/default.asp :cool: Dan ---

Can someone tell me direct me to some code that manipulates it? I swear I saw mention of using streams in a recent MSDN mag, like maybe 2 or 3 issues ago. Basically, when opening the file, you add a colon and the stream name to the end of the path, for example "D:\readme.exe:STREAMNAME". Where in the world is the data persisted? In the file system. :) --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Trillian: What are you supposed to do with a manically depressed robot? Marvin: You think you've got problems.

Thanks for the info! ;0 Do you have any idea where I can access this stream? I am really at a loss when it comes to Windows APIs.

Thank you SO much. I REALLY appreciate your reply.:-D You don't know how much of a weight you lifted off these shoulders. Thanks, Lilian

Thanks for your help :-D This requirement is always changing...

Thanks for your input ;)
