cheers both for your helpful responses. i will soon be getting more into PIC development, and i have a PIC programmer coming soon, so i may be able to figure out UART if i need it. :) thanks for now, surgeproof. ------------------------------------------------------- ithium is the best.

I'm not sure what the best solution for patches is. I would think that, if you have a modularized application, where you might have a bunch of DLLs and/or EXEs, you could have a patch that would replace whatever needed to be updated. Other than that, I'm not sure. I've never done a patch process before. Most of the stuff I've worked with has been either small Win Forms or Web Forms, which don't use patches - they just deploy the new version. And, as far as setting the version, I'm not sure. I didn't do that part. I want to say that there was something that was based off of either the source control or build tool. NAnt is supposed to be a good build tool. I haven't played with it myself, but am hoping to get a chance to give it a good look. Michael Flanakin Web Log

thanks, i'll try that and say how i got on soon. :) surgeproof ------------------------------------------------------- looking for hosting?ithium is good.

On trying to follow through and adapt your code, i only get this error: No overload for method 'bladeblahFormName' takes '1' arguments. Any ideas? thanks.
