This is new territory for me... I'm cross training to learn to be a programmer... Use to be a quality control lab technician. As the whole nation knows, Michigan has the highest unemployment rate and I'm one of the unfortunate ones... I've had some difficulty wih learning sructures in C++, since I first started my class. I used Google to see if there was any help available and here is where I ended up... I'm looking forward to this on-line learning experience... rjf2046
