When you right click on your Project Name, and select properties, one of the tabs has a compatibilities option group. There is No Compatibility, Project Compatibility, and Binary Compatibility. These options control among other things, when new class guids are created for your objects. ie, No...

Hey everyone, I need a design pattern expert to help take me over the line here. I think i have quite a good understanding of the theory of the Model View Controller pattern after reading a dozen articles on the topic - here is my understanding so far and please correct me if i'm wrong...

Hey everyone, I have a small project I would like to share with you all for some ideas... Monthly, i'm receiving electricity usage meter totals along with the date the meters were read for a whole range of different meter numbers. ie. Meter ID MeterNumber MeterTotal DateRead The meter...

Talk about a message in a bottle! I happen to have a book sitting beside my keyboard now that is almost exactly what you want - except the examples are vb not java. Developing Applications With Visual Basic And UML. Paul R Reed Jr ISBN 0-201-61579-7 I regularly return to this book to revise...

Thanks for your responses chiph. You might be interested to know that VB.Net solves the problems of having to register the progId's in the registery, or inis or flat files etc. Since .Net assemblies are complete self describing entities, there is no more need to use the registery or any...

stnkyminky... If you declared the Sub in Class1 as private you would have the same result in your intellisense menu. The difference that friend makes, is that other classes in the same dll file as Class1, CAN access the member. Thought this might add to your understanding, Brett. Brett...

Hi cjircita, I had a quick look at your code, and I'm afraid I have to suggest you learn how to split your code into modules. Look up the words cohesion and coupling in google to get an idea of what I am talking about. A big part of programming is in planning, design, documentation, and a...

The only way I have found to fix this is to set your browser options (im using IE example) to Tools -> Internet Options -> Settings Button -> Check for newer versions of page = Every Visit. See if this works! Brett Birkett B.Comp Systems Analyst

Hey cmetters... I am almost 100% sure that the error will be inside your dll function which you've called <function name> (request). Whatever this function is... go into the source for it. You will be using an object that hasn't had an instance properly created with the SET keyword. Also...

Hey timtom... If you find you are working with lots and lots of double quotes, the &quot;&quot;&quot;&quot; way can get quite messy. An alternative is to use: mystring = Replace(mystring, Chr(34), &quot;&quot;) But like I said, its only really a benefit for cases involving lots and lots of...

Your code looks fine to me... that is if conn.open(&quot;Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=&quot;&Server.MapPath(&quot;/saivandana/odbc_exmp.mdb&quot;)) has just wrapped in this window?? I would check your connection string (above). your code is ok, so it must be something to...

Hi LucyL, It all depends on the purpose of the application, whether or not an online db application is the right choice. The biggest benefit I can think about for you off the top of my head (and one you can use to sell to clients) is this: All companies consist of information systems...

Are you sure it refers to this line? If so... then what is the line that first creates the Session variable? Brett Birkett B.Comp Systems Analyst

scroce: Something is going wrong with the inner workings of an IIS process when you try to access the database while it is open. It should just let you close access and keep working as normal, but you know microsoft! Instead, your IIS's process seems to be getting jammed somehow when this...

Yes there is a dll file in your [winnt|windows]\system32 directory called cdonts.dll If the file is not there, then you will need to copy it in there and regsvr32 it. Just to state the obvious... the dll file must be registered on your webservers machine, not the client machine you are...
