I have compiled jokes and short stories that I received in e-mails for years. I do not claim to have written them and give credit where I can, however most are not claimed. It seemed a good idea to compile them into a written form to enable people who do not have computers ( are there any?) to be able to enjoy the crazy humor.

In May 2001, Microsoft announced the Office XP suite and introduced the concept of Smart Tags. This technology provides the dynamic recognition of text or data within a document and allows the association of various actions with the text. In this article, Darshan Singh looks at how we can build a smart tag handler DLL in Visual Basic 6.0 that uses the .NET web service to get the data. The smart tag handler discussed here allows travel agents to get their corporate clients' travel details as soon as the clients' identification numbers are entered in Excel 2002. The smart tag handler recognizes the corporate client ID, sends a request to .NET web service that returns the travel details in XML format, and the smart tag handler processes the returned XML using Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 4.0 and fills the information into an Excel sheet.
