C / C++ / MFC

In the beginning, Microsoft created a group called the AFX group
(stands for (A)pplication (F)ramework(X)). This group probably was
created to come out with an OWL competitor, since Borland C++ was
doing pretty well. They came up with a class library that presented a
very high abstraction from the Windows API, kind of like OWL does.

Legend has it that they then went and tried writing applications with
it for a couple of months and found that it was just too far removed
from the Windows API. They couldn't leverage any knowledge of
Windows and most of these guys were die hard Windows API hackers.

Legend also has it that at this point they scrapped the ENTIRE AFX
class library, and then worked on what would become MFC 1.0...

You can still see remnants of the AFX days, many of the source files
have afx prefixes and lots of macros in MFC today still have AFX in
them. I don't know when Microsoft changed the name of the group from
AFX to MFC, but it's now an MFC group. I've also heard rumors that
MFC was once called the MS Fulcrum Classes.

Sql = "UPDATE Clients SET Name='Bob' WHERE Name='Nick' AND Surname='Allen'";<br />
db.Excute(Sql);

...<br />
 recset.Move(1);<br />
// Here I want to Edit second record and change         <br />
// Nick Allen to Bob Allen		<br />
recset.Edit();<br />
recset.m_Name = "Bob";<br />
recset.Update();<br />
recset.Close();<br />
