Thank you very much for all this I go to look at.
Whan I need "mine folders or subfolders where they are .db Files I use the 
same code for the start of the .cpp of a .dll and after I use
extern Ansi ChVista for all the cpp files of the .exe or dll.
And did it work for XP too?Thank you Or I must have a XP version an Vista 
version?
And please where could I find enougth simplist explanations for Vista 
because I have tried in "msdn" and in all page there are a lot off links and 
I don't know where to go or there is only this mean?
Thank you again
