It connects to a web server, and downloads an XML file containing the list of entities stored in the web server. Each entity is composed by name, URL and version number. An entity could be the address book, the application itself, a cliccable banner, and any customizable component in user interface (gif, properties, etc.). Unfortunately I can't send you a demo version due to copyright problems, I just say you that the first client who bought this dialer (from the company where I worked last year) made about 35.000 copies to distribute to their employees for internal e-learning services. I used Delphi to do this program, but fortunately C++ is my preferred language. So, I'm sure you agree I have the skills needed to do your job. This is how I think about the features to be implemented: 1.- The auto update of the telephone number could be done using an xml, html or text file on a web server. The dialer, after the connection has been estabilished, contact the web server to download this file, extracting the information required: the telephone number and the URL of the home page. The speed of this process depends upon the availability of the web server and the quality of the communication line used to connect to the internet. But I think this way is a fast solution. 2.- I will do some debug activities to correct the problem. Do you have any idea why it doesn't work on XP? 3.- I didn't understund this funcionality, could you explean clearly what do you mean? Does the application connect to a remote database server and it retrieve some statistics data to show to the user? 4.- The program I made works the same way, so it's not a problem. Hope to hear you soon. Bye Antonio Bello, aka jeden.
