Reverend Jim

Can you please clean this up, add a little detail (like what you are having trouble with) then post it as a new thread?

You can access a router by browsing to a particular IP address. On my router the address is `192.168.1.1`. If you browse to that address you will be asked for a username/password. If you do not know the credentials then you will have to attach to the router via cable …

You might try just rebooting your router. I have to do that periodically when my connection bogs down (only 3 computers on it). As soo as it restarts my connections speed up considerably. There is no way I can see what the problem is but I suspect router tables are …

I don't have a suggestion for a solution but I'd like to comment on the code. I've taken the above code and rewritten it as if (QRC.UserExists(textBox1.Text)) { if (UserExistsToday()) { label8.Text = "User added today"; } else { label8.Text = "User added before"; } without getting into a discussion …

>It does leave the app open to beginners tinkering with the external plain text files. That's funny. I externalized scripts (mostly Excel) because the users had to have write access in order to allow modification of the Excel data, but because the script was external it could reside in a …

I believe you can only reference cells by column and row number in vb or vbScript, not by "A", or "B".

If the data is already in TextBox4 (that's what I think you are saying) then you can read/write the text whether or not the control is visible just like you would with any other control, but if it IS hidden then I don't see how the KeyDown event for TextBox4 …

Water under the bridge dude. We all have history. Welcome back.

At 1000 transactions per day it **does** matter what kind of database you use. I once had to support an application built on Access. Once the database got to a certain size we had to do a rebuild weekly because it kept crashing. At 1000 transactions per day you'll run …

After line 18 you add some code to the effect if (pledge >= 100) { numMugs++; }

You could try opening a command shell as Administrator and typing cacls foldername /e /g everyone:full Then you can copy the folder/files to a FAT32 formatted drive. This will copy everything but the ACLs. Delete the original folder then copy it back from the FAT32 drive. If running as Administrator …

You can find that [here](http://lmgtfy.com/?q=What+are+the+ASP.NET+MVC+prerequisite).

I got a call from recently from someone claiming to be a Dell tech rep. He said my laptop was reporting multiple errors. Realizing immediately that this was a scam I let him continue while I started a Windows 7 Virtual Machine session. Because I had some free time I …

If you are only interested in the number of rows of something then do SELECT COUNT(*) FROM test [WHERE...] Doing SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM `test` is a waste. In the first case, all the db has to return is the record count. In the second case it has to return …

Please show your code. If there are errors with Connection.Open then it may be related to your connection string so please also post details about your database setup.

Unless the textbox is set to multiline it will never contain a vbCrLf.

Technically any file format, as long as it is structured, qualifies as a database (excel, csv, txt, xml) but i suspect that you will be expected to use an actual database. Since you already have Excel then you likely also have Access so I recommend that.

The Microsoft documentation for the use of embedded WMP is obtuse at best. It describes the pieces without giving any useful information on how to use them. Having said that, I have not found a way to enable/disable the individual controls. They appear to be managed by the object itself …

I recently rebuilt a friend's PC. He had dual boot Vista/Win7. All I had to do was run `msconfig`, go to the `boot` tab and remove the Vista entry. Once I had done that I was free to delete all of his Vista folders.

Whenever I am asked, "what language should I learn first", my answer is always, "English". Being able to communicate effectively is going to be your biggest asset. For example, your thread had the extremely uninformative title of "need help". As an effective communicator you should have taken the time to …

I get about 600,000 results if I google `how to do recursion in c++`. Have you looked at any of those?

Or you could skip the last `if` and just use while (pick !== 'quit')

Greetings from Winnipeg. Good to see you.

That seems like an odd error considering that you don't have a parameter named `@name`. Are you sure there isn't a typo in there? Please add the following code just above Comm.ExecuteNonQuery and post the output here For Each item In Comm.Parameters Debug.WriteLine(item.parametername & " = """ & item.value & …

After you create the query but before you execute it add the following line Debug.WriteLine(query) then post the output here. You also might want to have a look at [using paramterized queries](https://www.daniweb.com/software-development/vbnet/code/445801/use-parameterized-queries-to-avoid-sql-injection-attacks).

Have you checked out [ConnectionStrings.com](https://www.connectionstrings.com/)?

And you could charge him a fee for the installation and configuration and possibly a bit of training. If he is happy with the service he will likely return when he needs more help.

I'd brace myself if I were you.

I was looking for an Excle/vb.net code snippet that I posted a long time ago. I went to advanced search and selected `Programming` and `code snippets` with the search string `Excel`. The only hits that I got were member names containing `Excel`. I replaced `Excel` with `Reverend Jim` and got …

Please read [this thread](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question) for suggestions on how to post meaningful questions. Keep in mind that we expect you to show what you have done so far.

If you put a little effort into asking a proper question I'm sure you will get some useful feedback. In the meantime please read [this thread](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question) for suggestions on how to post meaningful questions.

You can start by being more helpful when you post. For example, you said you gave it 40mb and now the space is showing 20gb. That statement is confusing if not meaningless. 1. how big is your physical drive 1. how is it currently partitioned 1. how much free space …

You could make an NxM array of buttons or pictureboxes at run time depending on your other requirements. Both allow you to set an image to display. Please refer to [this article](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/code/423678/create-controls-at-run-time-with-events) on how to create controls at run time. One advantage is you can use the same handler for …

What is the problem?

I can see several issues off the top of my head such as - You may have to guarantee that your drive is available 24x7. What provisions would you have to make in the event of a failure (hardware or software) - Would you have to guarantee any type of …

You can load an image into a picturebox by Dim fs As New System.IO.FileStream(filename, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read) pbxPicture.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fs)

When you declare an array in vbScript the indexes go from 0 to the number declared. As silly as that may be, it works the same for vbScript and vb.Net. Feel free to post any more vbScript questions you may have. It was my main programming language for about 8 …

There is an article on how to create vb.net controls with events at runtime [here](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/code/423678/create-controls-at-run-time-with-events). After you read it please feel free to post any questions you have here. I realize that you are coding in C# but the technique is the same. I'll try to code up a C# …

Please consider that when you just post a homework assignment verbatim you are possibly in violation of some sort of copyright. Also please note that nowhere in your post is there any question actually coming from you. To us it looks like: >Here's my homework assignment. I'm too bloody lazy …

Are you actually unable to read any of the dozens of books or hundreds of introductory web sites that show you how to do this? You are too lazy to Google this yourself, but you expect someone here to spoon feed you the answer to such a simple question.

I frequently find myself looking for files on my computer. 99.9% of the time I am looking for a file by name rather than by contents. Typically there are two ways to find a file when you don't know what folder it is in. You can do it from the …

Here's an example of how to [export data from a ListView to Excel](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/code/464769/export-listview-to-excel-spreadsheet) but it doesn't use OleDb.

Well, at least it's concise.

13973.88 is closer to 15833 than it is to 10000 so what is the problem?
