    I need a little help using the Pen Tool in Illustrator

    When you nudge a point using the arrow keys, it does end the current path. This is indicated by a small "X" near the pen cursor, meaning that a new path will be started from wherever you click or click and drag. To continue the existing path, hover the pen cursor over the endpoint until the "X"...

    on beeps and tones

    Hmmm, seems that there might be a clue in this phrase: "without recompiling the calling app which is by the way, up n running." Sounds as if the "calling app" is still holding a reference to your sound-generating exe. In the calling app, after running the sound-gen exe, try...

    deploying a vb application ???

    Sounds as if the original author might have hard-coded the target directory for one or more assets, most likely the database containing the program's tables. Error 53 correlates to "File not found," so you'll want to go through your controls which contain properties pointing to...

    Real easy: Two computers - one email ac

    I have a very similar setup to yours, i.e. multiple machines, one ISP, but four mail accounts (separate identities, too, in order to separate newsletters, personal mail, a throwaway "junk" account to register with on sites that require it, and development environment [Delphi, etc.]...

    OE 5 - Switching identities locks up OE & it vanishes, but still there

    Thank you for your reply. That's what I thought, as well. However, I have always made a habit of keeping the Resource Monitor on my taskbar, and when this trouble began that was one of the first things I checked. Other than the normal continual draining of resources over time by ill-written...

    Disappearing mail in outlook express

    Umm, out of curiosity as to whether it would solve my own problem (posted today) I went looking for this tool. It was not on my system. I did a Google search, and from what the results indicated, the Inbox Repair Tool is for *Outlook* .PST files, not Outlook Express (which uses a standard OE...

    OE 5 - Switching identities locks up OE & it vanishes, but still there

    Got a weird one here, that I've never encountered nor even heard of before. After being up and running for a while, using OE, following links to sites in IE, etc., any attempt to switch identities to check my other accounts causes OE to simply disappear (as it normally does when switching IDs...

    DBRichText field: Not available in Access97?!?

    Thank you, Elizabeth and Rebel, for your replies. I inadvertently found a solution that requires no activeX controls or add-ons. It seems that, even though Access is unable to decipher the rich text formatting of the stored memo, the Delphi VCL (Visual Control Library) DBRichEdit control has the...

    DBRichText field: Not available in Access97?!?

    I'm formerly a VB developer (VB1,2,3 Pro), now using Delphi (1,2,3,5 Pro). I am now tasked with writing a Delphi front end to an Access database (for speed, portability, tools availability purposes). I got to the last field (of about thirty) on my form, which was a "Comments" (datatype...

    How do I kick people off the database?

    Thanks, Andrew, for the pointer to the jetutils utility. I'm probably the odd man out here, using Delphi 5 and the BDE (Borland Database Engine) to write the front end to an Access 97 back end, but those utilities look to be of value to me, as well, at least from the descriptions given on MS's...
