David I messed up this question when I re-asked it. The original questions was: If... 1,000,000 is a million 1,000,000,000,000 is a trillion so then what do the Brits call 1,000,000,000? Lor

No one answered me, but I've always been curious. If the Brits call: 1,000,000 a million and 1,000,000,000 a billion what do they call 1,000,000,000? Anyone know? Lor

Chris That depends. In my college days, we distinguished between plain geeks, and pencil-necked geeks, a much more serious affliction. I had a client once (a company name you'd recognize) who told me that hygiene had actually become a pretty serious problem in their development group. Putting a finger on the true essence of geekhood is difficult, but I think I'd describe it as someone who has an unhealthy fascination with "things," and who is awkward and uncomfortable trying to relate to other human beings in a social setting. But let's face it... where would the world be without its geeks. Lori

I know how much is a billion is? Pocket change for Mr. Gates!! Lor

We're thinking pretty seriously about giving a substantial piece of a new development project to an offshore development group. I've heard a lot of plusses and minuses about working 100% online with an offshore group. There are plenty of appealing groups, at least at first glance, working out of India and Eastern Europe. Does anybody here have an experience with this kind of setup? If so, I'd be interested in learning about the kind of problems you've had, and the best way, in retrospect, that they can be avoided. Also, what kind of collaboration tools do you use, Internet-based or otherwise, to integrate the offshore people into the larger group? We're pretty interested in trying this out, but it also seems a little scary. All and any insights would be appreciated. Lori

Hi, I need to Bold the text on the property page tab when the page is active. I have been successful in setting all the tabs to bold with the following Code: BOOL CPropSheet::OnInitDialog() { BOOL bResult = CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog(); // Set the attributes of the font. LOGFONT logFont; memset(&logFont, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT)); logFont.lfWeight = FW_BOLD; // create the new font. CFont font; font.CreateFontIndirect(&logFont); // set the control to use the new font. CTabCtrl* pTabCtrl = GetTabControl(); pTabCtrl->SetFont(&font); return bResult; } I have placed the code in the OnSetActive() event for the Pages but I can't seem to get the handle to the sheet to use the GetTabControl() function. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this or can provide a sample application it would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Lori
