I am downloading now. For some odd reason I am only getting about 180 kbytes / sec today! This could take awhile. John W.

BURNING MSDN CDS Last month I told all of you programmers that Microsoft has posted the April 2003 MSDN CDs, and you can get all three of them free for the downloading. Those CDs include an enormous amount of information on Visual Studio 2003 - it's the required reference for those of you willing to make the leap from VBA to VB (or C) .NET. The CD images are at: http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/c/bdccea1b-96d9-4ad9-8045-56619af 95835/qtr40enud1.img http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/c/bdccea1b-96d9-4ad9-8045-56619af 95835/qtr40enud2.img http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/c/bdccea1b-96d9-4ad9-8045-56619af 95835/qtr40enud3.img One teensy-tiny problem. The CDs are in ISO image format - so-called .IMG files - and you may have problems burning those files to a CD. WOWser TP writes: "To get the files to CD you need a program like "undisker" found at http://www.undisker.com. This software will open and view the contents much like standard Zip file software and write the contents to the CD drive. I only used the time limited shareware version of "undisker" but the software worked very well and I am considering the purchase of the full version. One thing you will need to know is the Volume label that needs to be on the CD. I am pretty sure that it is the name of the file without the extension. Without the correct volume name the CD's will not load." from WOW 8.19: 7. BURNING .IMG CDS Last week I told you about WOWser TP's travails trying to get the downloaded April 2003 MSDN CD images burned to CD. He used Undisker, and it worked fine. WOWser IW notes that he was able to burn the MSDN CDs by simply changing the file name extension from .IMG to .ISO, and then using Nero (on a Windows 2000 machine). WOWser RC did the same thing and had no problem with Windows XP's native file burner. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
