because you specify the same address too myPhone2 -- Telephone * myPhone2 = &myPhone; when you delete myPhone you are also deleting myPhone2 because in essence they are the same thing.\ Alot of classes (all should but dont) come with a copy constructor. So you might be able to do this...

Does anyone know the call to broadcast a string to windows so that another app may grab it and use it to display... I have a service that parses a message from SQL and usually displays it to a physical display through a serial connection.. but i would like to mimic this display with bitmaps...

Sorry guys i figured it out.. you actually cant have a create form in a service.. in the service you have to log on as yourself to have a default printer work for you. Thanks for the ideas though they kept me going!

I think my last post got burried... When i try to find my default printer from a service it tells me I dont have one, but when i try from a normal app it works fine anyone know why?

I was talking about the char str[40]; and the sprintf... then turning the null terminated string into a String

Something you should know is that the service window will not refresh when you uninstall or install a service.. so sometimes you can get fooled into thinking it didnt work.. happened to me a few times, so i thought i might mention it

It seems as if when you are trying to find your default printer from a service app it wont find it... i tried the same code in a normal app and it found the printer with no problems.. same code in a service fails.. does anyone know why?

I need to find out how to see the name of the Default Printer on my machine from a service... all I need is the name. I think there is a few ways but i dont know what they are? Thanks

Sorry i should have responded earlier... i figured it out I used oldschool methods.. with just a FILE struct and fopen, fwrite, fread... you get the picture.. worked well though...

why dont you just use AnsiStrings in your program.. it probably wont change anything, but qry's use AnsiStrings and they are easier to work with.

Thanks globos it worked you saved me alot of research

Thanks ill try that... thanks for the Class "Dummy" part too well deserved

Does anyone know how you could init const vars in a class I tried this IN CLASS DECLERATION const int var1; IN CONSTRUCTOR const_cast<int>(var1) = 10; but this says it cannot modify const var

Nicasa, sorry i just stumbled on this now, BDE is faster than ADO, but BDE is a way borland interacts with databases. Meaning its compatability isnt very good... If you plan on writing software that may have later versions go with ADO... plus ADO is easier to use than BDE on most windows...

Sorry lastcybord DeleteTable is not a member of TADOTable anyone else got any ideas

The exect error says "Operation is not allowed in this context" calling active didnt work.... Im thought it might not be able to delete, so i called TCursorOptions Option; bool del = false; TCursorOptions Option; Option.operator >>(coDelete); del =...

I want to delete all my records in a table so i do this Table1->Delete(); //preparing for delete Table1->DeleteRecords(arAll); the last line causes an error saying cannot to this in this context anyone have any ideas??

Thanks 2ffat, it worked... I thought i could name the ref anything i wanted so i was just going catch(const Exception &ANYTHING) { } didnt know you had to specify, thanks!

onrdbandit: I tried that, the thing is I want to be able to display the message the SQL put out when the ADO messes up finnmike: ADO is Advanced Database Object it is a way of connecting to and interacting with many forms of databases
