As Charlotte says, sounds like a dll problem, … but how is it that a message comes from the C++ runtime?

I’m trying to understand how that even enters the picture.

I’ve not seen such a thing before in Access.

What is ‘interesting’ is that the message comes from the C++ runtime library rather than from VBA or Access itself. If i had to go looking for the cause of the problem, i’d look at the calls from VBA to those libraries.

Looks pretty good!

Google provides a good size list using ‘breadcrumb navigation’… This looks interesting: http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/breadcrumb28.php

Fixed! Copied in the old files, everything works except the database UPDATE, but that was easy to write myself.

More information: I have been using FP03beta which has a different way to do the database wizard. I.e., some of the FP03 code is different from FP02 code (no surprise there). What I am suffering from now is that either the install or I have mixed code. I made the rookie mistake of opening a working site in a beta product, rather than a copy of the working site. (gaak!)

FP uses 4 VBScript files in the _fpclass folder to work much of its magic. (You may need to view the “hidden” folders to see _fpclass, where I note that _fpclass is misnamed ~ these files contain functions, they have no classes in them at all.) When FP generates database pages, it includes fpdbrgn1, writes a few definitions, and then includes fpdbrgn2. So if you want to change how these files work, simply open them in an editor and whale away. NO NO NO wait wait wait DO IT ON A COPY NOT the originals.

My next move is to import the FP files into a VB6 project and see how they work, whilst copying the fpclass files from an old, untouched site to see if i can get them to work.

just another beta issue as far as i was concerned, so i put that behind me and ploughed on…

There are scads of new features. Probably the best way to see these discussed is the MS newsgroups. What I like best is that in ‘code’ view, each line is numbered, and Intellisense provides tag completion.

The major difficulty I have had is to properly reconcile navigation ~ the beta botches that, so I had to (gasp!) hard-wire a link bar . Ahem. Did i say that? Naah, that couldnt have been me.

Rumor has it that 2003 was Released To Manufacturing today, so you wont have long to wait.

IC was succeeded by PhotoDraw which has just recently been succeeded by PhotoEditor. In each succession, the tool has lost capabilities, so now it is less than adequate.

You might be able to find a copy of The Official Image Composer Book by Tait and Sagman. The CD accompanying the book contains a 90-day trial copy. You MAY be able to get the unlock key from MS if you tell them your story.

My guess is that a thoro search for the CDs would be more productive.

i reinstalled the beta. OK, so i’m crazy. But there is also a Fewer Bugs Release, and FP is becoming usable. The Folder view works in it, so MS musta moved some functionality around in O11. In ‘code’ view, each line is numbered, which makes finding bugs (and I am making a LOT of them with VBS) a lot easier.

As I cant speak for Google, I recommend you check their site. They offer the free lines of HTML, which is what i am using. They also offer specialty searches.

Even if they charge something, it is usually cheaper to pay than to write your own, or to continue to search for something else.
