    New site launch

    I'm curious... Why not just use flash for the animated banner? The cross-fading images is one of the most simple things to do and the large(r) images will be compressed further in your swf output, reducing your overall load time. I know the old web programmer thinking of "Flash is bad" for a...

    Best way to put music on my web site

    How 'bout adding a watermark to the audio file? Most higher-end sample sites use that method. ----------------------------------------------- "The night sky over the planet Krikkit is the least interesting sight in the entire universe." -Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy

    %?string%

    Hi all... I have a SQL connection that is being made in the following format: Data Source=%?server% This is just a plain string that is passed to a SqlConnection object. Can anyone tell me what the %? is for? My guess is an environment variable, but as I said.. It's a guess... Thanks...

    Local Settings/Application Data

    Is there a way to retrieve the [user]\Local Settings\Application data directory through cmd.exe (environment vars, etc.)? ----------------------------------------------- "The night sky over the planet Krikkit is the least interesting sight in the entire universe." -Hitch Hiker's Guide To The...

    Application Data Directory

    Hi all, I'm sure there's an easy way of doing this... Is there an Win32 API call to get the path to the application data directory? (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\dbrecht\Local Settings\Application Data\...) Thanks in advance. ----------------------------------------------- "The night sky...

    .dll path

    Hi all, I'm writing a .dll for a 3rd party application. Is there a way to get the absolute path to the .dll (not the application)? Thanks ----------------------------------------------- "The night sky over the planet Krikkit is the least interesting sight in the entire universe." -Hitch...

    Hyphens(') problem

    Use stored procedures instead.. If you don't want to or can't for some reason, use the Replace() method on the string variable that holds the name to replace ' with '' ----------------------------------------------- "The night sky over the planet Krikkit is the least interesting sight in the...

    Design concept feedback

    Hey all, I'm just about complete an inital design for my new personal site... I'm strictly looking for design feedback (colors, layout, etc.) as design is my weakest point. The site will be flash (ok, go ahead and flame me for it ;)) and the pic will be a video... Please don't pay attention to...

    Command line error D8300?

    Hrm.. If I try to run cl.exe from the command line, specifying options but no source filename, I get a similar error: "D2003: missing source filename" (I'm running vs2003 though, so the error numbers may be different...). My first guess would be that your project's messed up somewhere and it's...

    How to extract info on form to access database

    But really... If I'm allocating the memory for the char* within the class and just doing a strcpy, why would it be bailing when it's trying to deallocate the heap in the crt stuff when I call free() on the null-terminated string? Oh.. Huh? Where am I? Oh crap... Web design? ;) Just buggin'...

    Technology to use Access databases?

    Instead of looking to write something on your own (sorry, but it doesn't sound like you have a lot of experience with it ;))... Have you looked at "out of the box" solutions? I googled "online portfolio" and one of the first results was this...

    New site!

    Actually, one more thing :) The links in the copyright/design info kinda tick me off ;)... In the copyright, you have the company linked, but in the design info, you have "Web site design" linked... I'm not going to visit "Web site design", I'm going to visit "Earl & Thompson Marketing"! =D...

    New site!

    Might as well get my two cents in.. ;) These are strictly personal opinion, but... 1) The curves in the logo and on the right colum seem to be jagged.. There's gotta be a way to make that a little cleaner... 2) The menu items "About AES", "Contact AES", etc. look a little "weird" (great...
