 | It also helps if you indent properly. You probably lost all the indentation because you didn't use the **Code** button to insert the code snippet. I fixed it up for you. |

 | Or you could use the RichTextBox control and write to an rtf file which is readable by Word. |
 | That depends on what, specifically you want to do. If you want to implement a search-and-replace feature where the user enters the text to search for and the replacement text then you do it one way. If you want to allow the user to select a block of text and … |

| | You are not going to like this answer but don't use DAO. ADO is not confusing or riddled with problems. ADO is actually pretty straightforward. The only confusing part can be getting the connection string right and we can help you with that as long as we know what type … |
| | I will certainly put that on my must-watch list. |
| | Please read the [Please Read This Before Posting](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/vbnet/threads/424836/please-read-this-before-posting). If you had you would have created a descriptive title. You would also have included some sample input and output. |

| | If you want to do it manually you can use cacls or icacls with the /e (edit) option. |
| | You do not want users to be able to create folders in areas requiring admin credentials. That would defeat the purpose of setting up access rights in the first place. The app should not have admin credentials buried in it. If folders have to be created by the users it … |
 | I don't see an INSERT query anywhere but if I had to guess it would be the embedded spaces in the column names. It's always a bad idea to use names with spaces. With a non-spaced name you can do INSERT INTO myTable (idnum,FirstName) VALUES(123,'Jim') But when you have a … |
| | Please take the time to explain what you want clearly. You said >if I'll type 5 in the textbox so it'll add in the combobox: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Do you mean you want to do 1+2+3+4+5? Do you mean you want to add the first five items … |

 | >Why do adults like watching cartoons? That's all anime is -- just another name for children's cartoons. That's like judging all westerns after seeing one old episode of the Lone Ranger. I've seen many Anime that had plots that were more complex and better thought out than many adult movies. … |
| | A spreadsheet is not the application to use for something with two million rows. For that you should be using a database. There are queries you can run to detect duplicates, or you can make the email address the primary key and detect the duplicate on insert with a try/catch. … |
| | It varies with me. Sometimes a page loads quickly and sometimes not. For example, yesterday I went to a member's profile to do an endorsement. The profile page came up but when I clicked on the endorsement tab nothing came up even after several minutes. I tried again with the …  |
| | You didn't provide the error message. Try "Select * from ADODB where firstname='" & str & "'" Text fields have to have single quotes. I'm also assuming that your table is actually named ADODB. If not then this would be an error. Again, you could have been a little more … |

| | A good programmer is not necessarily someone who spews out a lot of code quickly. Sometimes spewing out code quickly is required (fortunately not often), but over 32 years or so of employment I learned that my job was primarily to solve problems, not to write code. And when code …  |
| | When the message pops up, start Task Manager and go to the Applications tab. Select the application that is displaying the message (you should be able to narrow it down) then Right Click and Go To Process. Once you know what process is generating the message you can use MSCONFIG … |

The array is the parameter provided to the ListViewItem constructor which is perfectly valid. The new ListViewItem is the single parameter provided to the ListView Add method which is also valid. |
 | Do what I do (aways good advice, right?). Open the forum in one tab and when you want to read a thread, open it in another tab. When you are finished reading all the threads of interest, scroll down and click **Mark Forum Read**. |
| | Because the data is in text form and is regular (all records contain the same number of fields and are comma delimited) why not just do a text read followed by a Split to get the fields? The format of the Split command is Split(line,",") It will return an array …  |
| | As far as I know you can't create a stand-alone, single-file executable for a windows forms app. You have to create an installer. I haven't done this in vb 2012, however, I have a PDF of the Microsoft walkthrough for vb 2010. It's no longer available online so I will … |

| | What parameters do you want to get passed to the button click handler that would not get passed if you just clicked the button? If you need to get at a value you could always set Button1.Tag to be the value before you do PerformClick, then clear the tag in …  |

| | I find that I occasionaally have special projects where it would be nice to have a context menu for files. I tend to write housekeeping scripts and it is convenient to be able to run these scripts against one or more files at a time without having to navigate and … |
 | If I understand you, what you want to do is detect the ENTER key in the rich text box and do some special processing. You can use the KeyDown event for that. Private Sub RichTextBox1_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.KeyDown If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then 'add custom processing … |
| | Could you possibly just post the table structure and tell us what you are trying to retrieve? |
| | Re: VB SQL query In order to reference two tables you have to join them. Try UPDATE mytable SET mytable.fieldx = othertable.fieldx FROM mytable1 INNER JOIN othertable ON mytable.keyno = othertable.keyno or maybe clearer using aliases UPDATE m SET m.fieldx = o.fieldx FROM mytable1 m INNER JOIN othertable o ON m.keyno = o.keyno |

| | There is a certain query that you can use to check a table for duplicate records. This requires doing a JOIN on a table with itself. As far as I know, the only way to do this is by creating two aliases for the same table. |
The End.
