Have you considered New Zealand instead? I spent a year in Australia before coming here and I prefer it in NZ (been here over 6 years now). IT industry is mainly financial and internet, but there are some interesting jobs around.

Thanks for your reply led mike. You assume correctly, it is indeed to run in a web page in a browser. I did start to look at Silverlight but I thought I'd get some feedback from other people before I jumped in with both feet in case there were other alternatives I'd overlooked. Cheers, Chris.

Hi Yusuf, Thanks for your response. It turns out it was because the tick symbol isn't part of the character entity set in the HTML4 spec, and so it all came down to whether the individual machine contained a font set with the corresponding glyph. There are only a couple of fonts that have that tick glyph (one of which is Arial Unicode MS), and it turns out the machines that displayed the character correctly had the full set for that font installed and the ones that didn't display it correctly only had a subset installed. In the end we went for a Wingdings tick to get around the problem. Cheers, Chris.

Excellent stuff Christian, that worked a treat. Cheers!

I'd use Remote Desktop.

Ok guys, thanks very much for your help. I've taken your advice and I'm going for a font defined by the fixed screen width. Cheers, Chris.

Have you tried using the .CreateObjRef() method. You'll have to pass it the type of the low level dll, but it might work. Hogan

It's been a long time since I've done any complex programming, but the old school way always worked well for my projects. Start with a spec. Write a test procedure to verify the spec. Define sub-specs for each module, and test procedures for each. Define interfaces between modules and enforce them with real change control. Design and code the modules, then test them individually. Correct as necessary until the spec is satisfied and the interfaces with other modules are verified. Integrate two or more modules and test again. Integrate the entire project and test some more. Give it to a user and watch him/her break it in a wholly unanticipated way. "A Journey of a Thousand Rest Stops Begins with a Single Movement"

I only recently got FTE for mortgage purposes. Got the deposit contracting. If you've been working as a full time software engineer for a little over a year, and are 24, I'd say theres no harm in going to some really cool job interviews. Make sure that work DONT get wind of it! If you can get past the recruitment officers experience Q's.. you'll enjoy mcuh better pay. Word of warning, when your contracting don't just do a good job, do an indispensable one - otherwise you'll be out the door.
