I also use Copernic, it takes a while to build the initial index if you have over 300gb of stored data (like me). You can tweak the settings and have it index the files and folders and drives as you choose. You also have the ability to have it index the file names only or the content of entire file. It's nice to get results from email search that includes all of my off-line folders and their attachments.:cool:

I would have enjoyed a day off but I was too busy getting ready for Y3K which takes up all my spare time. It's only 362,919 days away and I want to be ready. :laugh:

This good posting by Frank Kerrigan will probably point you in the right direction. http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/PrettyDatagrids.asp. Good luck, Tim Robertson Dallas, Georgia

Nick, Hopefully this link will provide you with the algorithm you ask for. http://www.columbia.edu/~js1353/pubs/ss-soda99.pdf[^]

1. First introduced to computers back in 1989 when I trained in BASIC and COBOL programming at the same time. Both were very interesting languages and I like both very well. I went from BASIC all versions and finally to Visual Basic for DOS when it hit the market. Then got in on the beta release of VB for Windows and loved it. Have experienced all the version upgrades of VB to my present Enterprise development version of Visual Studio .NET 2003 2. I first found going from VB 16 to VB32 was difficult but have to say VB.NET and ASP.NET are very challenging for me. Until these upgrades I felt programming was fairly simple thing to do. 3. It would be VB6. :-D

It's amazing how well you code can work in VB6 only to have so many unconverted items in VB.NET using the upgrade wizard. I ran the convert wizard on an a VB6 application which is running qite well only to find the following: 29 Files, 25 Forms, 3 Modules containing 283 Warnings and 227 Errors. Some upgrade wizard! The funny thing is that in most cases the error report actually tells you what to do to resolve the problem. Too bad Microsoft did not convert the data for us. On the bright side at least they gave us a hint.
