@ j_milton On slaves: [snip] A slave is merely a name for a subordinate. Have you never tried to please a superior? Of course you have, it is inbuilt in us, you may kick yourself at the thought of it, but it is not a fault, it is survival, we are all slaves of one kind or another. The word "slave" ...

@Relsoft:

Latchie & I do no more than quote chapter and verse from the bible and that makes us "self-proclaimed geniuses" looking to stoke our egos?

(2:24) "And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she b...

When you get stuck on a thing like this something to try is to forget for a while that you have a computer. Solve the problem manually; pen, paper, and calculator. Do this 2 or 3 times until you get correct answers and find the best method. Then write down step by step, in English (or whatever your ...

At the risk of being patronizing Google search on your error msg reveals extensive discussions about instability issues between 3rd party device drivers and win7. Mostly network adaptors, but also graphics and usb. Also bios issues on some mother boards that predate win7. Collective wisdom seems to ...

Is there anything consistant about the crashes i.e. amount of time the program has been running, time of day that it crashes, etc? In general terms what does the application do? for example is it dependant on external hardware inputs or is is it just running some huge computation

One more question: When do you know when to use double instead of single or integer? Barb If the numbers you are dealing with have fractional components, say 5.7 or 3.14 rather than 6 or 2 then you need to use a floating point type (single or double) to store that information. The significant advan...

@edit: Is there a 'memory compare' function that just compares all the bits in the 2 UDTs? Here is one: Function memcompare(ByVal a As Any Ptr, ByVal b As Any Ptr, ByVal n As Integer) As Integer 'returns "true" if memory pointed to by a and b contains same data, else false 'n is n...
