If you open Internet Explorer and type www.google.com into the address bar and pres enter, a message box appears asking for my proxy username and password. I would like to be able to specify this username and password programmatically. I suspect that if you do not receive this, then it is...

Hi, I am trying to write a program that will open a web page in Internet Explorer and save the result. I am having a problem with my proxy server though. If I wasn't using a proxy, the code would be: Dim wbBrowser as New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer wbBrowser.Visible = True wbBrowser.Navigate...

Thanks for that, Jason. I thought that might be the case but didn't want to admit it! Dan Griffiths Software Analyst National Grid plc

Hi, I've read a lot all over the internet about how it is possible to send emails using SMTP. However, I would like to know if anybody knows how to RECEIVE emails using SMTP. Basically, I have an email adrress on an SMTP server and I want to know if I can check it using VB .NET 2003? Dan...

Thanks, you're right but I have tried running those scripts so that I can now guarantee that no remote servers are subscribing to the publication. However, Enterprise Manager still locks up when you try to delete the publication. This is really a moot point now anyway because I no longer have...

I have come across Enterprise Manager caching several times before, but in this case I have even resorted to rebooting the entire server and still the unwanted snapshot agent is in the list. I still can't delete the publication Dan Griffiths Software Analyst National Grid plc

I have a problem with publications on a SQL Server 2000. I have a database called DTAD and this contains a publication of the same name. This is an old process and I no longer require it. However, when I try to delete it SQL Enterprise Manager freezes and remains in a 'Not Responding' state...

Hi, I don't know whether this is the right forum to post in, but I am having trouble with a file DSN. I have a shared Access database located on a server. It uses a DSN file in the same directory on that server, that points to a SQL Server database. This setup works fine until 2 people try to...

Thanks for the help. If I use your code, pmegan, it works fine through both the IDE and Windows. If you notice from my previous post, there was a typo in the path of the key. Dan Griffiths Software Analyst National Grid plc

If I open regedit I can see that key and I can change it. As I said before, my original code runs fine through the VB IDE but gives an error message when I run the executable through Windows. My initial thought was that it might be something to do with permissions (eg. the IDE runs the code as...

Thanks for your suggestion but I've just tried that and the short answer is no. Firstly, there is no such object as 'My' in the application therefore the call My.Computer....... results in an error message of 'Object not set to an instance of an object'. Secondly, to my knowledge the...

I am experiencing the same problem as described in thread796-1042121. I can run the program (a windows forms application which simply changes a registry value) through the Visual Studio IDE but as soon as I try and just execute the program (by running the .exe file through Windows explorer), it...

Thanks for your suggestions. They have started me thinking in another direction. It would appear that Application.Run performs exactly the same as myform.ShowDialog. That said, you can achieve further processing after this by putting code into the _Activate event of the form. The answer appears...

Thanks for your suggestion, but I have already tried this and the same thing happens. It would appear that starting a windows forms application of this type through Sub Main is the wrong way to go ... Dan Griffiths Software Analyst National Grid plc

I have a simple Windows Forms based application which I am trying to upgrade from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic .NET. At the moment, all I am trying to do is open a form from a module. That is, I have a form called frmProgress and a module called modBas. In modBas is the following code...
