Nevermind I figured it out. I just used the ReadOnly property on the BoundFields I didn't want to edit. Randy

Hello everyone, Is there a way to have the edit function of a GridView on an aspx page only allow the user to edit certain cells of the selected row? I currently have the GridView setup and it returns the data from the database (MySQL) and I have setup the autogenerateeditbutton. However when...

Hi everyone! I am working on an app to take some pictures (they're graphs) and copy them into an Excel spreadsheet. Currently I can open the Excel file and I can copy in text but I'm not sure how to copy in an actual file (in this case a graphic file). I am looking to automate this with a...

Well sort of. I really just need to send a one line command that I would either put into a cmd window or the run line. The only way I know to do that now is to use shell and call a bat file that has the command in it already. I was looking for a way to do that without the bat files.

Hi everyone! Is it possible to send a run line command from a VB6 application? I know how to call programs using shell but I really just needed to send a quick one line command that I normally would type into Start\run. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your help! HayleyQuinn - Duh I should have seen that there wasn't a call for the sub!? Is it possible to just have the program go down to a sub without calling it? strongm - How would I use the debug.print line to put that data into a variable I could use? Thanks again!!!

Hi everyone! I have an Access database that holds information for a VB6 program to read. One of the fields holds UNC info for a file transfer. Is it possible to add two different UNCs in the same field? The files that get transfered need to go to two different servers now. Thanks, RB

Hi everyone! I have a question about changing data that already exists in a SQL db. I have a table with a field called pdate. The type for pdate is varchar(15). However it searches incorrectly since it's using dates as varchar (yes I had a previous question for that). My question is can I take...

Thanks dhulbert it makes sense now! Is there any way to convert the current data in the date field to use the date type? I thought that SQL used dates in a yyyy-mm-dd format and all the dates in my db are in the mm-dd-yyyy format. Thanks again!

Hi everyone! I have inherited a SQL database that works OK for the most part. However I have also inherited a VB program that will query the database for a range of dates and then display those dates in a report. The problem happens when you try and query a range for example of 04-25-2005 thru...

Hi everyone, I've inherited some old VB6 code that needs an update (hopefully simple!). Please bear in mind that I don't have a VB background. I needed the program to output a text file based on some variables the user inputs. Can this be done with certain formating (i.e. inserting certain...
