I am trying to build an e-commerce application that switches to the HTTPS protocol immediately before payment information is collected. I have stored the OrderID in a session variable, but keep loosing it -- unfortunately not 100%, leaving me to debug a sporadic problem. To debug, I developed...

Thanks - It works great

I'm trying obtain the decimal value of a character. The function is to receive a single character, convert it to an interger and then do the remainder of it's processing. However, no matter what I've tried, I always get an error message. Error messages include: Type mismatch: 'CInt'...

I am trying to use combo-box functionality 'inside' of a CListCtrl; the control is actually placed on top, and when it's finished (and looses focus), will send a message to the list to update the list contents. Whenever I place the combo box control, the size of the ListBox sub-member is what...

I don't think 'counter' is a keyword, as Crystal does not highlight it for either "Crystal Syntax" or "Basic Syntax". However, I did try the suggestion (at this point, I'll try anything) and it didn't help. I also switched the syntax type from Crystal to Basic, and rewrote...

I am trying to implement Crystal KB Article ID #c2008983, Example 2. Unlike the example, I have multiple details sections (a,b) and the same for the the group footer. I formerly had a running total field and several calculated values, which have all been removed (and deleted) from the report...

I am trying to fix a report that has an issue with a widowed group footer. I have tried using Crystal Knowledge Base, article id c2008983, example 2 to fix my problem, but I get an error "The summary / running total field could not be created." Research on Deja led me to the...

I am working on a shopping cart that will have a button next to each product allowing them to add the item into their car. I am trying to have a rollover effect to depress the button. (Yes, I will admit that its a loaded question). I know how to process the submit action for the proper form...

Chris - Just do a search for VCTerm on 'msdn.microsoft.com' or the MSDN CD set. I'd give you the URL, but I cannot easily pull the link out of the site. You may be missing one setup item to enable the event to trigger, at least that's what I can make out of my comments that were probably...

Chris - Have you looked at MSDN's VCTerm example? I found it to be a good starting point. Briefly, assuming you do not poll for data on the serial port, you will need to add a 'OnCommEvent' function with the appropriate 'Event Sink Map'. Inside of the 'oncommevent' function, after reading...

About 6 months ago, we upgraded from v6.5x to v7.0x - not sure of the exact version, but do know that we still have the 8k text limit that has been recently solved with a limit of 32k. For both databases, we have had a MS Access front-end, that accessed Postgres via an ODBC driver. The driver...

Not sure if an answer is still desired for this thread. A good place to start is with MSDN's VCTERM example.

I see this thread is old, but I did anyone ever consider using a rule in Outlook to flag the message, as opposed to having it done in Access? This should work without difficulties, as I'm assuming that the subject would always be the same. Just a thought, if anyone was still looking at this...

Microsoft has a ActiveX component that you can insert onto a form called "Microsoft Web Browser". It esentially is an instance Internet Explorer running within your Access form. MS has documentation on their website. One thing I will warn you about - size the control to the size...

The problem has been solved, and the answer is quite simple. The widget object was not associated with anything, so to make the compiler happy, I blindly associated it with CWnd, not knowing everything the remainder of the necessary items. The MSComm component was told to send the messages to...
