OK, I officially hate you :wink: for bringing this to my attention.

I downloaded the demo and will be purchasing it tomorrow.

Very nice. I like the fancy interface.

Based on cutting a 278Meg file into 50Meg chunks,

Pretty Neat!

The calls to SetWindowStyles in line 172 and 176 don't work for me.

I replaced them with calls to SetWindowLong_(WindowID(1) and it seems to work now.

Symantec Norton Anti-Virus shows nothing found after scanning the 3.90 zip file.

Even extracted jcalg1.lib from the zip file and scanned separately with all clear results.

Re: Calling C DLL

Hello, just one question from a Newbie:

I have a C DLL from a databaseserver ... With VB i could use it directly with ADO.

I'm not sure what you mean by using it directly with ADO since ADO uses COM automation and so you weren't calling the 'C' dll directly.

You may also want to look at SubVersion

It is my understanding that even SourceForge is considering providing SubVersion instead of or along with CVS.

TortoiseSVN is nice GUI client for SubVersion

For date information, look into the "GetFileTime_" and "FileTimeToSystemTime" Windows API calls.
