 | As for the "upgrade to Windows 10" question, the answer is probably. My wife has a Dell Latitude E6520 that has been running Windows 7 for some time. Two weeks ago I tried the upgrade to Windows 10 and it still worked. If you decide to do the upgrade I …  |
| | You can fnd all that at [Rosetta Code](https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Linked_list). Keep in mind that if this if for an assignment then you will likely get caught plagiarizing if you use it. I you just copy/paste someone else's code you won't learn anything. |
 | At the risk of sounding callous, if your kids are falling for this then 1. You have failed as a parent to teach your kids anything of value 1. Chances are they are going to fail at life anyway I suspect this is yet another in a long series of … |
| | I could, but if you don't even know how to start then you know nothing about loops. That means you are either skipping class or sleeping during. Reread your notes or look up the syntax of C++ loops. I think there is a thing called Google that might be of …  |
| | The Quebec government will be introducing legislation that prohibits public employees from displaying religious symbols while at work. This would include items such as crucifixes, kirpans, turbans, hijabs, yarmulkes, etc. Even though there is majority public support for this legislation ther has been a strong backlash with the claim that … |
 | Pretty much the same as James. Also retired with too may years of experience under my belt. I like two kinds of questions in particular: 1. Those I can answer off the top of my head. 1. Those that I can answer with some effort that give me a chance … |
| | And what, exactly, would you learn by plagiarizing someone else's homework?  |
| | Perhaps if you tell us where you are stuck we can offer some suggestions. What have you done so far? |
| | The trick is to try doing it by hand first. Write down all the steps to get the desired results. It has to be clear enough that another person would be able to do the task only from the instructions. Those instructions are your pseudo code. Then it's a matter … |
 | It's been a few years since I've done database stuff but I suggest that instead of just displaying a generic error message like `"New Record FAILED. Please contact your systems administrator."` you display the actual error message returned in the exception. It should be one of the properties of the …  |
| | Can you post your input file please? Also, what are the values of `row` and `clo`? I assume that `clo` is supposed to be `col`. If so, I urge you to develop either better typing skills or better proofreading skills. It's simply not sufficient to just spew out a mess … |
| | 1. Open an Explorer window 1. Right click on `This PC` and select `Properties` from the pop-up menu 1. In the Control Panel window click on `Advanced system settings` 1. Click on `Environment Variables` At this point you have to decide if you want the change to apply to just … |

| | Looks to me like you have put zero effort into doing it yourself. Please read the [Daniweb Posting Rules](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/rules) and [Suggestions For Posting Questions](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question).  |
| | Those recommendations are worthless without an explanation as to why you think each belongs on that list. Keep in mind that different people have different requirements and as such, what is a "good" tablet for one person might not be "good" for another.  |
| | How are we supposed to help if you don't post the code? |
| | I would strongly advise against doing that. Alt-Tab is a basic Windows function and I can't imagine that you would want to override that except for some underhanded purpose. |
| | A few years ago, the Canadian government (at that time it was a majority Conservative government under Stephen Harper) proposed legislation which would have weakened the privacy rights of all Canadians. Part of the justification was to allow easier apprehension and prosecution of people trafficking in child pornography. The justice … |
| | It's been quite a while since I used a version of BASIC that old but I suspect balance = float (input("OK, ", name, ". Please enter the cost of the ", item, ": ")) is complaining because of the number of parameters you give for `input`. Try concatenating all of … |
 | I suggest you do something like dim qry as string = "INSERT INTO Table VALUES ('" & PatientID.Text & "', '" & fname.Text & "'," & lname.Text & "')" and examine the contents of `qry`. There is no way for us to see what the query is without knowing the … |
| | This is your first post and you have already made some big mistakes. 1. You didn't ask for help. You demanded it. 1. You didn't show any proof that you had tried to do this yourself. 1. You screamed in the thread title. Are 37 `!` really necessary? 1. You … |
 | I would just download [VeraCrypt Portable](https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Portable%20Mode.html) (free) rather than write something from scratch.  |
| | After saying for the last 10 years that I would never own a cell phone (I had enough of that spending many years on call), I finally broke down and got one. It is a Figo (Speak Out) Android (Marshmallow) phone that allows me to buy a block of minutes … |
| | I corrected the code formatting. Please note that of lines 29 and 30 Exit Sub rs.Close there is no way that line 30 will ever get executed so it is possible this is leading to your error by leaving the connection open. Also, line 141 If rs.BOF = False And … |
| | You have to iterate through all of the items in the listview collection and convert them to string before you write them out. If the collection is small then you can create the output buffer in a loop then use WriteAllText to blast it out in one step. I suggest … |
| | I think the problem is that people see `Code Snippet` in the drop down and think that because they are including a snippet of code with their question they should select that option. - Captain Obvious  |
| | @egoche - I've corrected your code formatting twice. I won't do it again. Please use the code block tool `</>` to insert code. |
| | Because you can write clearer and more concise code if you overload operators so that they can be used on objects. For example, you might want to overload `+` so that you can write object1 + object2 instead of creatinig an `Add` method which would look like object1.Add(object2) The first … |

| | What is urgent for you is not urgent for anyone else. Nobody here is going to do what you are asking. |
| | The thread has been dead for more than 8 years. What do you think? |
 | Gee. Only 1900 lines of code. What kind of help are you expecting? |
| | Two possible solutions: 1. Put code in the text_changed event for the two textboxes (you can use the same event handler for both) that computes the sum and puts it in the third textbox. 1. Because you are getting the values from a database why not just add sum(val1,val2) to …  |
| | vbScript - Extending Application Functionality with vbScript and AutoIt Sometimes you'll find that one of your favourite applications is missing some useful functionality. For me, it was FastStone Image Viewer. I've had to scan a large number of family photos to convert everything to digital. Rather than scan one photo … |
 | Be very careful when blowing air into the fan. You can easily damage the fan doing that. |
| | I just got a PM from a user who said "Hello! I'm <username>. Nice to meet you! Let's connect." What I know about this user is precisely zero. Before I respond to a "let's connect" request I'd like to know a little bit about this user. In the old Daniweb … |
| | I'm far from a python pro but it seems to me that xx is local to plotSVC and goes out of scope once that function exits. I suggest you try to keep all module code contiguous. You have defned plotSVC in the middle of your mainline code. This is a … |
| | I tried to attach a file to a post by clicking the attachment icon and the file upload dialog did not show. I tried several times with no luck. |
| | >What are the biggest pain points you have with DaniWeb? 1. spammers 1. people who copy/paste homework 1. people who revive multi-year old threads by posting nonsense 1. people posting in the wrong area (e.g. programming questions in the Community area) >If you don't visit DaniWeb as much as you … |

| | A regular textbox by default allows backspace and space bar. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? |
 | |
| | You'll get help here but not until you first show you have put in the effort to do it yourself. When you run into specific problems you can post your questions. |
| | As I understand it, there were problems on Sunday (Feb 24) which caused problems logging in. Daniweb would not accept my password (or so it said). Normally when I go to login I get presented with the login page with my userID (reverend Jim) and password already filled in. Now … |
 | That seems like the type of task more suited to a script than an app. If you copy the following into a file named `prefix.vbs` you can do what you requested. set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") if wscript.arguments.unnamed.count <> 2 then Wscript.Echo "prefix <filename> ""string""" Wscript.Quit end if infile = wscript.arguments.unnamed(0) …  |
| | I don't know what kind of response you are expecting. Are we supposed to provide a list of all of the topics covered in the hundreds of thousands of posts? My suggestion is to browse the forum post headers and see. Aside from many very informative articles by our esteemed … |
| | I used to have one of those. Backups took hours. Double for a backup & verify. During that time the computer was useless. Now I just use disk imaging for my system partition and robocopy for my data partition. And because of shadow copy, I can use my computer during … |
| | I think the only thing they learned is how to prevent getting caught again. |
| | How about googling "generate random numbers in python"? That would have required less effort than posting your question here. |
| | You can use DateDiff to calculate the difference between the current date and the entered date. Just out of curiosity, how do you guarantee that the user is entering their actual birthday? And if you can't guarantee that then what is the point of asking? If it's for legal reasons, … |
The End.
