I am not formulating this post using an HTML page. I am formulating it in C++ from a windows service. When I use the syntax provided to me in RFC 1867,the ASPX page does not add the parameter into the form parameters collection. So my question is, how do I get the ASPX page to add the parameter into the forms parameter collection? And how can I access the extended parameter attributes? ~LizardWiz()

If you are running your web application on multiple web servers, the static data will be local to each server 60% of statistics are made up on the spot

Determining DST on a remote computer is a different issue. Do you have access to the remote server? If so, could you create a little application (two dozen lines of code) that listened to a particular port, and when a request came in on that port, send back a reply indicating whether DST is in effect?

kinda nasty... but check this out http://www.sqlmag.com/Forums/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=722

Please do not even consider applying your second solution: TerminateThread is not to be used unless under catastrophic conditions. In Winsock2 SO_RCVTIMEO works fine (you sure is Winsock2 and not 1.1 what you're using?) Nevertheless, even if it didn't work that wouldn't justify the CPU peak. Can you post more of the reading code? Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

This is sort of it, except that I am also attaching a file with a MapiFileDesc structure... LPMAPILOGON lpfnMAPILogon; LPMAPISENDMAIL lpfnMAPISendMail; LPMAPILOGOFF lpfnMAPILogoff; LHANDLE lhSession; HMODULE hMAPILib; MapiRecipDesc sender = { 0, MAPI_ORIG, "anyone", "anyone@anywhere.com", 0, NULL }; MapiRecipDesc recipient = { 0, MAPI_TO, "someone@anywhere.com", NULL, 0, NULL }; MapiMessage message = { 0, "Some subject", "Some message text", NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, 1, &recipient, 0, NULL }; hMAPILib = LoadLibrary("either MAPI32.DLL or MSOE.DLL depending on MSO or MSOE"); lpfnMAPILogon = (LPMAPILOGON)GetProcAddress(hMAPILib, "MAPILogon"); lpfnMAPISendMail = (LPMAPISENDMAIL)GetProcAddress(hMAPILib, "MAPISendMail"); lpfnMAPILogoff = (LPMAPILOGOFF)GetProcAddress(hMAPILib, "MAPILogoff"); (*lpfnMAPILogon)(0, NULL, NULL, 0, 0, &lhSession); (*lpfnMAPISendMail)(lhSession, 0, &message, MAPI_DIALOG, 0); (*lpfnMAPILogoff)(lhSession, 0, 0, 0); FreeLibrary(hMAPILib); ~LizardWiz()

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately the people who I am doing this project for want the Outlook message email dialog to come up (the one with the button), hence the need for the MAPI.DLL...unless someone has a better idea. Too bad your a Canucks fun but I am willing to overlook that fact because you are a hockey fan...Go Kings! ~LizardWiz()

And then there's OH.EXE[^] oh hfind should do it!
