e-Filing vs e-Failing? : Microsoft VBScript runtime error

April, month of the tax, the tax payers and the tax collectors, and also till the very last minute tax form submission. Be it through the old time fill in the form and send to your nearest LDHN authorized 'collection' centre or by using 'state-of-the-art' e-filing system. Yeah, its considered way long before the official deadline, but to date, i've experience few hiccups here and there , using the online system. Hang in the middle of whatsoever and all the weirdo vbscript error msg... sort of 'friendly' message you'll somewhat get. :) (hopefully not at your time).

Got this while "Save and Continue"... (simpan dan teruskan)

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'cCur'
/2008-1/BE/f_pelepasanDB.asp, line 126

Dear LHDN 'Heroes a.k.a developers', this is just a friendly note. Kindly give us more 'nicely' massage error messages. Or.. don't give any message at all.. :)
Thank You.

Heroes Happen Here In KL : The Power of Microsoft Threesome Launch

April 8th, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. We (developer and so called IT pro) has been officially 'heroed' by MD of Microsoft Malaysia... huhuhu... Appreciation? Or just as what you had previously 'wowed' by the sales armada from M$oft? You answer it lah... But thanks anyway.. :) We're not really amazed by the heroes title whatsoever... but the event goodies ...hmmmm... its yummy... I got Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 (Trial) packed in nice clean design CD booklet. (after you submit the evaluation form of course). But again, overall... its a great event to attend minus the lame and boring 'success story telling' by so called early adopters... uweekkkkk....

Psssttt.... Lunch is super awesome man, i tell you. :)

To Be Compatible : SDK not compatible to Standard SDK for Windows CE.NET

"Familiar with this and had solved it with ease? Mind if u could share it here"

Still in the so called missionaries mode. :) Goal : embedded visual c++ 4.0 running on WinCE4... WTH is going on?? With not much progress on the current work... i'm so called 'hung' in the no where... Dozens and dozens of forums,help sites and files, tech blogs and what not is my best friend for the moment. Mama, please help me!

Whole-lotta-debugging massacre...

Deleting intermediate files and output files for project 'GmpcFnc Sample - Win32 (WCE ARMV4I) Release'.

GmpcFnc Sample.exe - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)
Downloading files
Failed downloading.

Problem, not so much differ from this -

hi guys,

I just download eVC++ 4.0 and create a new app to try it out
when i compile is doesn't give me error
but when i build, it give me an error

An application targeting a standard SDK for Windows CE .NET and build for the ARMV4I CPU cannot be run on the emulator, you will have to install an SDK that is compatible with standard sdk for Windows CE.net, then target a shadow platform pertaining to SDK

How do I solve/troubleshoot this

Thanks.

Regards,
Jimmy

So called solution, but can't apply to my probs ....

You should try to use: Win32 (WCE Emulator) Device under your STANDARDSDK.
Don't use Win32 (WCE ArmV4) or Win32 (WCE ArmV4I) or you cannot make your app run in the emulator.
