Folks I'm out of here.

I accepted a position in Singapore (limited to 1 year). No more software development.

It's been fun to participate in one of the best and busiest VB forums on the web.

get a faster disk or use asynchronous I/O, i.e IO completion ports. It won't make writing faster, but allows your program to continue doing other stuff while the OS saves the file.

you didn't tell us the line where the error occurred, so I am only guessing.
You need to Load the elements of your control array:

Actually there IS a reason for using cdecl calling convention. It allows you to write functions with a variable list of arguments, such as the...

it is designed for reading structs.

You mean, you want to make the builtin properties of VB's builtin control private? There is no way that I know of to achieve...

what is LongLong supposed to be?
You have to somehow tell VB what it means, otherwise it won't work.

Actually, since the file is a plain text file and resides on the server, he might as well just load it into a hidden IFRAME via scripting (document.frames("myIFrame").location.href = "http...txt"

That's the bad thing about VB. Depending on the REferences and Controls that you use in your VB program, Setupwizard will add tons of runtime support files to your setup.

I don't know, I have never tried it with Access.

I'll have Bifteki, Souflaki and a really big portion of Gyros :-)

search MSDN for an article with the following title:
"HOWTO: Use Custom System Colors Only When Your App Has Focus"
it has all the details and source code.

Does "everything" include the DateAdd function?

as always in ADO there are several ways to call an SP.
A "good" way:
dim cmd as new ADODB.Command
set cmd.ActiveConnection = mainConnecttionObject
cmd.Commandtype = adCmdStoredProc...

MSDN says:
"Only a single-column name may be specified in criteria. This method does not support multi-column searches."

well, you commented out the lines that refer to Win9x. Just read your own post.
You need to use the Toolhelpsnapshot stuff for Win9x.

use Variant datatype in your VB program instead of a Date datatype.
Dim d As Variant
d = Null
If IsNull(d) Then
MsgBox "null"
End If
