What's the path to the file? It's on the desktop? Also, are you able to do anything to the folder, such as set attributes (system, hidden, read-only) or can you do absolutely nothing with it?

Ok, let's not bump old threads... if you have a question, post a new thread, and we will try to get you answered..... did you read the sticky thread? [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread41057.html[/url]

VB can handle it by itself.... and would be easier than learnng the SQL Query's required to generate the kind of data and report that you want to do.... I will say to each his own. How I would do it, is I would build a VB program to handle …

is it just me, or is this thread empty: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread47461.html[/url] I have recently answered a post in that thread, and now the screen shows blank..... any ideas?

You can monitor a directory (it doesn't appear that you can monitor just a single file). But if you monitor the directory that contains the file, whenever any file in that directory gets modified, your program will get alerted. This rely's on an API call to ReadDirectoryChangesW, check this link: …

You'll have to post your code, or attach your project.... if I understand you correctly, I don't understand why, when they change the value of the variable, you can't write the new value to the database at the same record location..... then there is no comparison needed, the database has …

It all depends on what you want to do. If the server's processor (server in context of the computer hosting the server software) is dedicated to running your server app, then I don't see the harm in having the server do it. However, if you are using the server machine …

Are you talking about making VB click one of it's buttons, or do you want to click buttons in another app's program? You can make VB click one of it's own buttons by simply setting it to true. So, pretend you have form1, and 2 buttons (command1 and command2) command2 …

I'm not so sure that an OCX that is out of date would give you an out of memory error (unless the memory management routine that it's using is calling API's or using a method that works differently now). I would like to see the form_load code.... if you figure …

[QUOTE=comp_sci_guy]Hello :) , I am thinking of developing a small peer to peer fire sharing application. [/QUOTE] Cool, I like sharing fire.

Visual Basic and C++ are entirely different languages. It boils down to syntax and control. For example, a standard test to see if the variable X is equal to 10, will look like this in Visual Basic: [CODE]if X = 10 then msgbox "yes It is" end if[/CODE] While in …

Can you give a better description?

if you don't know how to use VB with Access/Sql, I suggest you read the sticky thread: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread41057.html[/url] to get a stronger understanding of ADO. Once you are comfortable with that information, you would need to use the OpenSchema method to get the adSchemaTables.... I guess it would be something …

Welcome

You'll want to look into the "sendkeys" command. This command allows you to send keystrokes to applications (shift-end, ctrl-c, ctrl-v). Keep in mind, sendkeys only sends keystrokes to the currently active (foreground) window. So, you'll want to make whatever window you want to mess with the foreground first, with either …

Yes, but are you refering to a static IP (like one that is assigned by you, and only changes when you want it to) or a dynamic IP like DHCP?

I don't understand what you are asking. If you are asking me how to see if a file exists on the hard-drive, then DIR is the option. If it's not working for you, perhaps you could post some code, or attach your project. If you are asking how to see …

You simply can not.... not without changing the stardard font of windows. A msgbox is a modal window that uses the stardard windows system font. Period. I've tried everything known to man to change the font of a msgbox, and it boils down to having to recode. For the future, …

I'll second that.

I'm not sure what you are asking.... are you wanting VB to consolidate the files, or are you wanting VB to control the program that consolidates the files? Are these just text files, or are you getting this from the SQL? Or are there files on the computer that will …

Well, the difference between a thin client and a fat client is: thin client: the bulk of processing is done on the server fat client: the processing is done on the client A thin client usually has no hard-drive, and loads it's OS and software from a server.... a lot …

While I push for pulling out of Iraq, you have to ask yourself.... what happens if we leave? Do you think it would be right to show up, take over, and bail? Do you believe that we have trained enough Iraqi Police and Military to be able to stand up …

As far as I know you can't. I believe you could port your source to VB6 with minor modifications, and then compile the EXE from VB, but I'm pretty sure that VBA (macro's and such) are interpreted, and must remain that way.

That was freaking awesome, I'm giving rep points for that one Iamthwee.

Sounds like a homework assignment to me..... or a final year project. Bite off more than you can chew?

hmn, if you are quick enough, you could hit the print screen key on the keyboard (next to the f12 key). Then you click start, run... type in: mspaint, then click edit paste...... but that's kinda tedius. I'll keep looking around for a better solution (I know that you could …

well, you can check this way: [CODE] if (top.location != location) { alert("In A Frame"); }[/CODE] But I'm not sure if you can do it like a conditional compiler directive. I know you could write to the page with something fun like: [CODE]document.write("<Script Language='javascript' SRC='http://page.com/somefile.jsp'>");[/CODE] but I know that you …

It's definately a problem with the server-side app.

The last IS the solution.... but I'm looking

That's actually a really good way of doing it (if you are doing it programmatically) but I'm sure if you manipulate the word object (create an instance of Word with VB [[INLINECODE]set wordvar = createobject("Word.Application")[/INLINECODE]]) then you should be able to copy everything in it into a variable (using a …

You can reference one form from another by simply using it's name. If you want to make form2 visible for example [INLINECODE]form2.visible = true[/INLINECODE] will make form2 visible.

When I search all the forums (to get kind of an over-view of what's happening on the site) when a thread has more than 1 page of posts, I USED to be able to click onto the other page from that listing directly...... that doesn't seem to be there any …

What kind of internet connection speed are we talking about? What are the buffer sizes set to on windows media player? If you send me the URL, I can tell you how it runs on my box.

I think on XP (I don't have a password, I just turn it on and get my desktop), but if you are set up to log on, with a user and password, after you zip the file, I think you can go to properties, advanced, and then click "encrypt contents …

I'm not 100% sure what is happening in the PHP Script. It looks to me like it defines some variables, and has a constructor function (called Astro), which does nothing but assign the value 0 to the members of the astro class. 1 scalar and 5 arrays. Then, there is …

Nothing as simple. Beep is merely a command that plays a sound through the PC speaker. It varies from system to system (though, it seems to have been synchronized by the os), and is usually used strictly for "oops" sounds. You could use the [URL="http://www.allapi.net/apilist/PlaySound.shtml"]Play Sound[/URL] Api Call, which gives …
