That's because you haven't converted the image to an actual Base64 string. All you've done is read the binary data and attempted to write it to a text file. This, of course, writes all kinds of special characters to the file which are no legal in an XML document. You have to either find a VBA library to convert binary data into a Base64 string and back, or encapsulate the binary data in a !CDATA XML element.

as far as I know either VS.NET or I are stupid. you want to use that instance in your code-behind? afaik this doesn't work. you'll have to put a <% code... %> part into the html that fires onload or whenever if that's not what you've meant, sorry, I don't get it :p so long.

Dinner, flowers and a card. Of course if you can't cook, you can't choose flowers and you are thinking about printing that card then I suggest you take her out for a romantic meal and get the hostess to run up some flowers with a bottle of champers. regards, Paul Watson South Africa The Code Project

Hi! Thanks. The whole problem was the in the call. It behaves ok when I use objectPointer->SetCellStyle(row, column, value) instead of objectPointer->SetCellStyle(row, column, value); I have no idea why. I thought after VS 5.0 this problem disappeared. I am going to try it with VS 7 to see what happens.

You are correct. If some wacko chose to kill your daughter, he could do so with any number of weapons. However, there is one unique thing about assault rifles. If one wacko chooses to kill another wacko with a knife, axe, or chainsaw, your daughter is not in danger. If a wacko chooses to kill another wacko with an assault rifle and your daughter happens to be within a mile radius, her life IS in danger. That is also the case with the argument about the relative killing efficacy of hunting cartridges vs. assault cartridges. The target of a shooting, be it with a pistol, assault rifle, hunting rifle, or what-have-you, will probably die. Only in the case of an assault rifle, however, will the lives of everyone else in the radius also be in danger.

I'm just saying its not the most reliable paper around. It has a wide readership but its a trashy tabloid and it has no illusions about itsself. It usually reports stories that are later found to be false. I'd take anything I read on it with a grain of salt (esp. when such news hasn't been reported yet on any other sources) "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."
