My inlaws get our old PCs so we run into the same thing. Sometimes it is too bad you can't pass 'em off on the old "hmmm.. it seems to be a hardware problem...you better call I.T.". Best of luck to you.

Let me guess... Showing your father-in-law the DELL website? (Dad.. it is time.) (i feel for you man.)

oh yes! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

this should get your variant value into a CString. CString strTest; strTest = varFieldValue.bstrVal;

it sounds like you might need to convert your CStrings to ints (using the atoi()) during your sort function, something similar to: int n1 = atoi((const char*) pListCtrl->GetItemText(lParam1, 0)); int n2 = atoi((const char*) pListCtrl->GetItemText(lParam2, 0)); then doing the comparision on the ints.

Catherine... were you referring to sorting a CList or CListCtrl?
