If one is developing a .NET application, how can I develop an application
that uses COM automation that targets multiple versions of Word? For
example, the signature for the Document.Open method is different from
version 9 to version 11 (and I'm sure there are other variations as well),
and I'm wondering if there's some easy way to deal with it.
At present I'm only concerned with supporting 9-11 (i.e. Word 2000, XP, and
2003), though I'd like to be flexible enough to deal with future versions as
well. How are developers dealing with this sticky situation now?

Hi,
I believe the next version of word will save the files in xml
format. I would make a xml word document. That way you are not dependant
on word being installed. If the user isnt using word 2003 or later I would
transform the xml to an rtf. Just my 2 cents worth. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...VBNETtoRTF.asp http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

I have a strange situation with my Access 2000 database. I have code in the
database which has worked fine for years, and now all of a sudden doesn't
work fine on one or two of my client's machines. The code opens MS Word
through Automation and then opens a particular Word doc. It's still working
fine on most machines; but on one or two of them, the user is getting an
Automation Error. The code used is as follows:

We are developing a C# application that has many interfaces to the
Microsoft suite (eg Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint, etc). We need to
support Office 97, 2000, 2002 and any future versions.
Our first cut used early binding and worked fine with Office 2002. We
then ran on a machine that had Office 2000 installed and it all turned
to custard.
There appears to be a number of options to take to support multiple
versions:

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.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.

I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
