Hi What about c:\>NET Session at the command prompt. best wishes ...mil10

If you use ODBC, make sure that you set the cells as a named range in Excel.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. Why is it that PreTranslateMessage() should not be used? All messages to the window pass through this function. Isn't it the obvious place to trap the working of a message? Or, is it reserved for system messages only? I have tried the code with PreTranslateMessage() and it is not just working. The code inside is just not getting called for the user-defined message. All other messages are passing through the function as expected. Am I missing out something? With best regards, Sayan Email:sayanmukherjee@indiatimes.com

How do I do it?    If when you say "print" you mean console, you can use puts(...) or the "stdout" file handle with fprintf(...), fputs(...), etc.    If you mean "printer", you may be able to use the stdprn file handle.    Peace! -=- James.

You need to print the data yourself. Lookup the Printer Object in help. -- David Wengier Sonork ID: 100.14177 - Ch00k
