Hi, I have been looking for a while at applications such as Norton Antivirus, MS Money and Quick Books, and have noticed that they seem to have this 'web like' interface to them. Can anyone tell me if these are special controls they are using or are they the regular controls tweaked to look...

Hey all! I thought I read somewhere that it is best to use a function that returns a connection object whenever a connection object is used thereby keeping the connections centralized. I cannot recall what I have to do to accomplish this, I have tried something simple, but find that I cannot...

Hi, I have a form that allows a user to modify a record using a class behind the form. Once the record is saved, the form closes and a listbox on the main form is populated via SQL with the updated records from the DB. The problem seems to be that when the listbox is populated, the class has...
