I am trying utilize a dataview object to group a column of data together. Is this possible. Here is what I am after (easier to show it than to explain it) Item |--Group 1 --------||------Group 2---------------| Label |-A-||-B-||-C-||-D-||-A-||-B-||-C-||-D-||-E-||-F-|...

DrSimon, you are correct I am a chemist and biochemist both, by education, but make my living programming and doing it (better pay, and I have 20+ years experience at it so the degree doesn't matter that much) As far as your question about archiving, yes data can be archived, and is on a...

DrSimon you have hit the nail on the head. The reason I am trying to figure out which tables are which size is to know whether I will have say 2 tables that are 400 mg apiece and then would defeat the purpose of splitting them apart to into one table even if they logically go there. Just trying...

Thanks for the information. I think with the combined ideas I might be able to figure something out. You are right I should be able to loop through each table and export it to a new file and then look at each file size and use that for my decisions. I don't mind then going back and splitting...

I have read a few times that people have asked this question but it always seems to degress into a simple question of "WHY WOULD YOU WANT THIS INFORMATION?" I have a valid reason. I am trying to find out how large each table in my database is so that I can decide how to split the back end...

I have a problem that started a few months ago. Basically have several domains (i.e. aol.com, etc) that I can not reach. When I go to ping them the DNS resolves the domain name to the ip address, but then the ping times out. I started noticing this problem when I had users sending email to...

Kind of, I upgraded the users operating system from Win98 to WinXP. For some reason the problem went away after that. [ponder]

I have a VERY complex report. It works fine 99.9% of the time; however every one in a while I will have a field simply not show up on the complete report. Basically I have A) A Main report with 8 Sub Sections on it (each one is a sub report) B) In each sub Report there are at least 8...

This is a good idea. I will have to play with it a little and see how it corresponds to the printed document, but it is by far the best idea I have come across yet. Thanks

That is correct. The problem comes in that they can adjust that space, and it makes it impossible to preset the size of the rich text box. So I was thinking I could handle it similar to word by showing a ruler on the top, and on the side so that they would know when they are changing pages as...

The Rich Text box is resizeable already, that is part of the problem. For example say a user has a page something like this. |------------------| (a + B) A = ----- (c + d) but when the report prints it the word wrap end up like this |--------------|...

I am trying to build a means of puting rulers (or possibly limiting the width) on top and sides of a rich text box, like word, works, word perfect, etc have. Basically I am building an app that a user types part of a report into a rich text box, and then generates it as a report via Crystal...

Thanks for the help. That worked great, and in combination with a little bit of text selection code, I find very little problems with it. Have a star.

Personally I like Mastering VB .NET published by Sybex. It covered most topics enough to become familiar with the differences and advantages of VB .NET (especially coming from VB 6 and Access VBA) while not become so in depth that it lost me.

I have a numericupdown control on a form. It has the thousands separtor set to true (Since some value can be in millions, it is MUCH easy to view) On the lower values the control works fine obivously in the values that a user would use the up/down arrows to move to (say 20) the comma doesn't...
