ide options for visual c++

Hi,
my friend needed a free c++ compiler so I recommeded him visual c++, I
told him, what I believed, that visual c++ compiler is free for
download from msdn. Now he needed an ide and I recommended visual
studio / express, but he says its too heavy for his home machine which
is some pentium machine with only 512mb ram running a lot of other
applications (databases). So he needs some alternative which is really
low in resources requirement but provides some basic features of an
ide. Plz recommend some if possible.

regards,

...ab

You wont be able to find a modern IDE that can run on a machine with those
sort of specs if said machine is running all these background processors.

How about looking into Borland C++ Builder?

Is it possible to set options in the Tools >> Options dialog programmatically? For example, I want to create an Access 2002 MDE that will set, on startup, various options in the View, General, and Edit/Find tabs of the Options dialog. Can this be done? Are there any developer resources for doing this? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm working on a page that dynamically creates listboxes and the "options" that are added to the listbox. A user can then click on buttons to either add or delete the "options" from one listbox to the other. All of this works fine, but when the user changes from one page to the next, I'm trying to save all user input before it redirects to the next page. For some reason, I can't see what values have been selected in one of the...
