Ok, so cast is unnecessary However, if you do a google search for 'malloc', (almost) every code usage sample uses casting, as does my K&R C book. It is only if you search for 'cast malloc' you find how to really use malloc. Thanks to Salem for spotting the original error SD

Salem - i agree about the byte rather than pointer allocation. As for casting - I was under the impression that casting is required to ensure the return a pointer of the correct type (for pointer arithmatic), and it is best practice to cast. SD

Will option 2 be easy if i am using a dynamic array of structures? SD

Hi, I have a dynamic array which i need to find the size of to re-allocate more space to: char **dynamic_array; char *ptr; ptr=(char *)malloc(10); memcpy(ptr,"something\0",10); dynamic_array=(char **)malloc(1); dynamic_array[0]=ptr; ptr=(char *)malloc(10); memcpy(ptr,"nothing \0",10)...

:``( I can not believe the MS security is so good the only way is to take 2 machines with me. There's got to be a work-around? SD

Right - see your original point now. Unfortunately the server has to be moved, so the original problem needs to be resolved. SD

Yes - my point exactly. Read the original post - i am having problems with windows security. SD

Thanks for the replys. Seaspray0: IP has been configured. I have shared folder on remote machine (everyone and guest - all ticked,security . The problem is that the office machine does not prompt with login box or anything - you just get the error. Mark: Novel idea, but no good. Machine has to...

NeilTrain - timer works great. It's easy when you know how! SD

I need to copy files from one place to another, and will do it every 60 seconds. As this is external, i can not get an event. So to use the timer, my copy code would need to be called from the timer event function? SD

Hi, I have written the following ugly function. This appears to hog all processor power, so there must be a better way to sleep in a program for a period of time. Does anyone have any suggestions? // Will sleep the program for given number of seconds private void Sleep(int i_SleepSeconds) {...

Found a way of doing it string s_conn="[connection string]"; SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection(s_conn); oConn.Open (); SqlCommand oCmd; oCmd = new SqlCommand ("INSERT into Names(Title,Name) VALUES ('Mr','Bloggs')"); oCmd.Connection=oConn; int...
