maybe its a virus or something like that?? I have no such file on my computer and I have Visual C++ 2005 Pro and VC++ 6.0 installed. Is your computer setup to be an e-mail server or web server (mine is NOT)? If not, then move the file someplace else …

[QUOTE=axiss]Hi I was just wondering how you change the text colour of only some of the text in a console when you are using cout to display your text.[/quote] it will all depend on the operating system. MS-Windows, use win32 api console functions. I don't know about *nix but probably …

[URL="http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/"]This[/URL] is a good tutorial about how to write non-MFC programs. It shows you how to create dialog boxes from scratch. You could integrate some of it into an MFC program if you want. And [URL="http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/xmessagebox.asp"]here[/URL] is a good non-MFC XMessageBox that can be easily added to an MFC program …

your program has corrupted the stack someplace -- most likely buffer overflow or possibly use of uninitialized pointers. Its impossible to diagnose without seeing the entire program. I would probably start debugging by commenting out huge blocks of code until the problem goes away. Then you will know approximately where …

I do similar, but I put that log function in another thread so that it doesn't slow down other processing. you can put the log requests into a queue, then the log function can take its own sweet time processing them. Also, I always close the file when the last …

Yes, it can be done with c++, but it's a pretty complex and very very messy -- see this about [URL="http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=http%3a%2f%2fwww.support.microsoft.com%2fkb%2f196776%2f"]Office Automation[/URL]

why doesn't hw2head.c contain any includes? Add hw2head.h to the top of hw2head.c and that will probably fix all (or most) of the problems.

In function input_university() I see where scanf() is reading the string, and univ->std[num_cells].name is getting allocated, but I don't see where it is copying buffer to univ->std[num_cells].name after allocation. Add this and it will probably work ok. [code] strcpy(univ->std[num_cells].name,buffer); [/code]

The "Insert Link" button normally presents two dialogs -- one to enter some text and the other for the url. It doesn't do that any more -- only asks for the url. Will you please fix this:?:

What compiler/version are you using? I have had warning C4530 with winCE and solved the problem by adding -GX to the compile flags. [URL="http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=195818&SiteID=1"]http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=195818&SiteID=1[/URL]

MS-DOS became extinct after version 6.X. If you have MS-Windows installed on your computer than you do NOT have MS-DOS. You probably mean a command-line window, which is an MS-DOS [b]emulator[/b]

in MS-Windows you can call win32 api function GetSystemTime() that returns a [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/systemtime_str.asp"]SYSTEMTIME[/URL] structure. Other operating systems probably have something similar, but I don't know what they would be.

If you want it ported to MS-Access or Oracle you will have to use their database engine to import the file into the database tables. Each database has its own unique file formats so the safest way to do it is to use the appropriate database engine. And some cost …

you forgot to include the header file in the *.cpp file. You may also need other header files too, such as iostream, fstream, string, etc. depending on your code. [code] #include "dateSType.h" // rest of cpp code here [/code]

your do-while loop is wrong. It doesn't even compile so I'm not supprised it has runtime errors.
