Hello everyone, I'm using a root finding algorithm in a function that only takes as arguments a function pointer and two variables that represent guesses at the roots of the function. int zbrac(float (*func)(float), float *x1, float *x2) float f1,f2; f1=(*func)(*x1); f2=(*func)(*x2)...

Hi, Does MS still make Visual c++ alone or is it incorporated into c++ .NET or visual studio? In other words, is Visual C++ .NET just a new version of Visual C++ 6.0? OR is it in Visual Studio? When 3rd party products say they work with Visual C++, does that mean .NET and visual studio also...

Hello, I'm new to Visual C++ and C++ in general, coming from a C background in Unix. Is there a good resource other than VC++ Help (book or online site) that explains clearly the difference between project types (e.g. MFC App vs. Win32 App) and dialog vs. document types? For example, I am...

Hi, thanks for the response. I didn't have any problems with the install, but it is a demo version. does your real version have context sensitive editing? The demo version does when it comes to visual objects and the like, but not with regards to parentheses or loops or such. I like the...

Thanks for the link. I see that this is Visual Studio .NET, is it the same as the Visual C++? I'm not doing any web stuff. Thanks again, Math

Hello everyone, Is there a trial version of Visual C++ like for Borland's C++ builder? I'm finding I'm not crazy about the Borland product and wonder if Visual C++ is better (especially the editor). thanks! Math

Hello, I'm working from a demo version of builder 6 comparing to see whether I want Borland or Visual C++ and have a few annoying things I've encountered. 1) The text editor doesn't seem to be all that knowledgable about the language and formatting. I hate that every line automatically fills...

Hello all, I've programmed in VB and C a lot, but not for several years. I'm going to write a standalone app for PC's to sell and want to know which language offers the best (easiest) GUI tools so I don't have to spend a ton of time writing graphics routines. I want to design the layout and be...

hi, i have a form that has a query as its record source. when i execute the query outside the form, it works fine, the query executes and stops. when i put the form into datasheet mode the query works fine there too, it executes and stops. when i go into form view, it says "calculating...

hey there, can anyone tell me if there is a way to create not just a running total (which i saw on MSKB), but also a running difference... e.g. my data looks like this Bdate Prc1 HoldChg 1-Jan-90 33 100 3-Jan-90 40 -50 5-Jan-90 38 -25 7-Jan-90 34 80 8-Jan-90...

hey all, what makes a query non-updatable? i have this query "qryTrades" that links to 2 tables (tblTrades and tblTrades2) that are right joined together. the recordset is updatable when i run it (except on calculated fields, of course). i have another query "qryPrices&quot...

thnx to both, they both work. i have some problems with cmmrfrds' solution in that access doesn't like it in other queries and keeps changing the '(' to '[' and complains it can't find the table. first one work, so its cool, though. thnx again -- math

hey all, i have table with 3 fields: ID EntryDate Price ID's are repeated many times for different dates and the same dates appear for many ID's. ID and EntryDate together are the primary key. i want to find the latest price for each ID. something like: select * from tblPrices...

hey, i didn't make myself clear. i'm not looking at the table in the recordset of the form, i'm going into access and opening the table itself. that should have updated immediately with .Update. i open the table itself, not through any forms, and look at all the records. the new record...

hey, this problem has me baffled. i have a table i add a record to using .AddNew . after i do the .Update, i expect to see the new record in the table. i don't. i run this aggregate query that depends on the newly inserted value, and its wrong because the value isn't being added yet...
