You need to modify the manifest in order for your application to default to comctl32.dll version 6. Instructions are here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756938.aspx[^] Best Wishes, -David Delaune

There's an example here about halfway down the page that shows a value being stored in a NUMBER field (i.e, partno). Is that of any help? "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed" - 2 Timothy 2:15 "Judge not by the eye but by the heart." - Native American Proverb

I suspect the problem is in some of the code you edited out. I have used SysFreeString many times and never had any problems like yours. Perhaps if you can produce some code that will actually reproduce the problem you will get a solution. Steve

otherwise, you can have the hWnd pointer with : CFontDialog fontDlg(/* Some initialisation */); CWnd pWnd = fontDlg->m_hWnd; TOXCCT >>> GEII power [toxcct][VisualCalc]

Probably MFC tries to delete your CFrameWnd on application exit, but you have allocated it on the stack. MFC expects that frame windows are 'automatically allocated' by the framework, as they are when you use the 'normal' MDI/SDI approach with the wizards. They get automatically deleted when the application shuts down. Therefore, if you create a CFrameWnd manually, you have to allocate it via new and must not delete it on application exit. The framework does this for you... This is one of the more obscure "features" of MFC, for which I never found any documentation... Hope this helps, Nick EDIT: some typos

well i think i mentioned in one of my post that the code crashes some where IN THE MFC Code... the pop function i gave you was from afxpriv.cpp and it is an MFC file... one more thing as i mentioned back that the assert IS because of a NULL pointer... but i dont have a clue y its NULL.. cuz it have something to do with AFX_MANAGE_STATE... and shit like that... MSDN doesnt give any info about it... and again the best part is that it crashes occasionally..... not always... there is NO threads in my App. well i didnt get anything out of it... hope you can help me with AFX_MANAGE_STATE ....or something like that. as for your query... the last call at the stack is Pop cuz it is automatically called after a CFramewnd derived object is Destroyed using DeleteWindow which removes the current frame from the RoutingFrame stack. shoaib.

Thankx to all for all the help you provided. But i think after some research i suggest that the only solution to this problem is to delete the partition table completely from your harddrive.You can do it using the DEBUG utility provided with win98. information regarding this can be found at the following link http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;106419[^] as far as the option in FDISK to delete non-dos patition is conserned.... well it normally fails... thankx again......

As with most things, this is actually stored in the registry. Take a look at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Version\VC\VC_OBJECTS_PLATFORM_INFO\Win32\Directories key. You may need to restart the environment (the IDE) after changing that, however. To access this programmatically, if you look in the MSDN Online Library[^] you will find the VCPlatform object, which exposes those directories as properties. This is not in the EnvDTE.dll assembly, however. You must reference Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine.dll. IIRC, you should be able to cast (performs a QueryInterface on the COM component) from a Project object defined in the EnvDTE.dll assembly.
