find every change of a txtfile a creation?
Mhm... I don't want that and I wouldn't use an application doing that.

Hi Herfried and Armin,
Was a big travel to find something to answer.
I first had the historie from dataprocessing but that is to simple to give
an answer for you both while I become than in a corner where it is hard to
fight back..
I thought about this.
Changed means that things stay the same.
Although this is on disk and not on memory this is for me the same as
datafile as new datafile
And not
Datafile = olddatafile
And therefore I think it is newcreated.
And not an easy answer as
No I do not agree.
:-))

If you change a record in a 2 GB database, do you really think the
database should be completely recreated?

As I said I had made more messages about this and one was about a database.
I told you once never change the subject if you are arguing. I started in a
part where you could maybe beat me, now you are on one of my areas.
A database is updated by updates, inserts and deletes, never by New, so you
give exactly the answer that you agree with me, things like databases have
creation and change dates. New files should be treathen as always new
created.

Full ACK. Nevertheless, if you change a record in a text file
"database", it's only a change.

possibility to record a macro. I used this to load a textfile into a table.
You had to follow all the steps once and then they were recorded by Access.
The next time you could play this sequence of commands.
I searched in Access 2000 but couldn't find the option. Probably also due to...

Hello World,
I made a Windowsform that reads data from a CSV file.
It works fine, but when I have read the data of a record I have to re-Debug
the form to read another record.
So when I put a new seek item in the textbox after I searched for an item
and click the seek button.. it seems it is doing nothing.
And also... what code can I use to genereate a messagebox message when a
seek item is not at all in the CSV file?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
