porkchopexpress, Thanks for the tip, that how I found that 'System' had the files locked earler.

With Process Explorer I've got lots of programs running under System, but none of them are locking the files in question, only the top level System object. The files I'm looking at are jpeg images that are accessed by three programs, an old database written in Access, and new version of the...

Thanks for the help, Process Explorer lists then all as open by 'System'. Anyone know if it's safe to use Process Explorer to close the file handles - or why they are open in the first place?

I am experiencing an issue with what appears to be 'locked files' on my Windows 2000 server system. When I try to rename or move or get exclusive access to some files I get the error below: ‘Can not rename {file name}: it is being used by another person or program Close any programs that might...

Thank you all for your help. micker377: I thought about that but no luck in this case, the walls in the building are not air tight (as far as the dust is concerned their are no walls at all) and a VNC solution with a thin client is no good either as CAD tends to be more screen intensive...

Thanks for the responses. I think water cooling may be a little bit out of my reach right now. Also, I would think the dust would impair the water cooling as well – perhaps not as much? In all I'm kind of surprised that no one makes an 'industrial' case that is more resistant. But thanks for...

I currently have a number of PCs setup in a building that receives a lot of dust (it's just off the main shop so there is nothing I can do about it), I've noticed the systems I put in just a few months ago have already had issues with the grime building up inside them. I'm wondering if anyone...

Would anyone know how to enter a null/empty date into Access through ODBC? My problem is I have a date field where the user can enter a date, save it, and come back later and change or remove the date. However I can't seem to get Access to accept an empty date without it crashing. thanks for...

I'm trying to programmatically enter multiple lines of text into a crystal report’s text box with VB .Net. However, when I try to enter a line break (i.e. vbcrlf) it’s completely ignored. Anyone know how I can have multiple lines in a single text object? i.e: This is a test rather then...

I am trying to insert a jpeg image held in an Access database OLE field (embedded, not linked) into a crystal report (using the integrated IDE that came with .net 2002), however when I view the report I only get the file name of the image rather then the actual picture. Thanks for any help you...

Thanks, looks like that was exactly what I needed, it translated into VB .net with no problems.

I’m sure this is a simple question, but I’m totally lost. I have a VB .net project with a crystal report in it and I want to change the unbound text in code. I have the ClientReport object but can’t seem to change the text of any object inside it. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone know of a way that I can tell when a user has clicked on a tab? I have found the 'on click' and 'mouse move' events for the tab page, but I would rather run my code when they click on the tab it's self to populate the page.

I'm working with the academic copy of Windows 2003 and am having difficulty setting up a VPN connection. I've done this in Win 2000 with no problems, but when I click on the 'Dial-in' tab under Active Directory Users and Computers -> User Properties I receive a pop up box with “Could not load...

I am trying to play an avi movie at the start of a program, but am having difficulty in encoding it in anything better then 256 color MS-RLE. When I try to open an avi file encoded in anything else I receive “runtime error ‘35752’” I am using: VB 6.0 Windows XP Microsoft Multimedia Control 6.0...
