    Why does this program have error and wont compile?

    A couple of quotes at the start of your two strings like so: cout<<&quot;The value... and all 20+ errors are gone (except that there's no x2() so the linker is not completely happy...) :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    visual c++ 6 and visual studio.net

    AFAIK you can still order the .Net Beta2 (which I am using) here http://developerstore.com/devstore/product.asp?productID=7627&store=TOOLBOX_NA :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    Dialog box for Windows Folder/File Access

    You can use the common dialog control via GetOpenFileName() and GetSaveFileName() to get a filename from the user, or ShBrowseForFolder() to obtain a directory name. :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    visual c++ 6 and visual studio.net

    Yes, and it's even better in VS.Net :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    Quid with On Timer in VC++ ???

    Just out of curiosity - what is &quot;scrutting&quot;? :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    visual c++ 6 and visual studio.net

    Yes, there's C++ in VS.Net. And I use it already in preference to VC++ 6 since there's lots of bugs fixed, especially in the area of STL and templates, and the IDE is muuuuch better... :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    cin problems with strings

    I'd say you've forgotten to add #include <string> :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    WM_NOTIFY

    Typically one uses ON_MESSAGE ON_MESSAGE( WM_MYMESSAGE, OnMyMessage ) with a message number in the range WM_USER to 0x7FFF (better WM_USER+100 or so). With WM_NOTIFY you need an NMHDR structure in lParam... :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    Aligning menus???

    I've never done this, but I found the follwoing in MSDN (see KB Q86772) : It is possible to right justify top-level menu items by including a CHR$(8) (backspace) as the first character of the caption for the left-most menu that you want to appear on the right side of the menu bar. (Yeah, CHR$...

    Is this code safe?

    CString or string certainly makes things simpler if you are doing a lot of string manipulation, compared with using standard c-strings. If I was using MFC I'd go with CString, otherwise I'd use the string class. :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    DB Help.

    I'm guessing this is a limit of the combobox, and not of Access. 32k is the limit for entries in Listbox and Combobox. Maybe you should also ask yourself whether it's reasonable to expect a user to scroll through 32000+ entries... :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    Is this code safe?

    ...c_str() with say strcpy(), which you have basically re-implemented in your String_Convert() function, i.e., your subroutine would look like char *String_Convert( const string &sConvert,char *cString ) { int iSizeOfString = sConvert.length(); cString = new char[iSizeOfString+1]...

    Strings

    ...endl; writes the value &quot;14&quot; to the console, since a leading zero indicates an octal number (i.e., the decimal value of the constant is 1*8+6 = 14, rather than 1*10+6 = 16 as for a decimal number). The following for example int i1 = 018; will cause a compile error, since...

    C++ OR Visual C++

    VC++ implements the C++ language, in principle you can compile any C++ program with the VC++ compiler and linker. If the program only uses ANSI standard library functions the programs should also run under Windows. VC++ includes a complete development environment for program development and...

    visual c++ newbie needs help with &quot;and&quot;

    Logical operators consider values to be simply &quot;boolean&quot;, i.e. 0 is false, und !=0 is true (the actual value for &quot;true&quot; is 1, but C++ also considers any value !=0 as true in conditional expressions). Bitwise operators OTOH work on the individual bits in a field such as an...

    Syntax for System Calls!

    The syntax is just like you write, e.g. system(&quot;cls&quot;); to clear a console screen. You can include <stdlib.h> or <process.h>. :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    structures

    Well I may have an advantage - here in Germany my first coffee probably comes rather earlier...:-) :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    structures

    Of course this is just poor phrasing, but &quot;is all public&quot; -> &quot;all members are by default public&quot;. Naturally you can put in private: or protected: to change this. :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)

    Memory Allocation

    Disk quotas under W2K are an administrative function and can be set programmatically using WMI. For more information, search online MSDN under &quot;Disk quota&quot;. :-) Hope that this helped! ;-)
