    External COM objects

    It is a FoxPro program error, stating exactly: OLE error code 0x80070003: The system cannot find the path specified. As far as the exe itself, registering it on every pc in the company would defeat the purpose of running it off of the server. I can run the exe locally from my machine, and...

    External COM objects

    Well i am getting closer. I was getting no where with the dll, so i rebuilt my class as an exe as MikeLewis suggested. I could successfuly run the exe using CREATEOBJECTEX() in my code from my local machine. Moved the exe to the server and registered it. Now trying to run my code from my local...

    External COM objects

    I can currently access a DLL i have locally on my machine with the CreateObject command below. o = CreateObject("Application.Class") This will only work if that DLL is registered on that local machine. How would i access a DLL off of a server or centralized machine? This would allow me to...

    Export from Miscrsoft Access to RTF or “W” – Publish it with Micros

    I have had this same problem and have been researching a solution for about the past month. I use to be able to export my reports to RTF with no problems. At some point in time I began to have the same problem as above. Any time i send a report to word or export as RTF, the data is all chopped...

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but it still does not work. I still have not found a way around this. What is it that tells access how to export files? Still hoping someone can help.

    Need to group and display by columns instead of rows

    What if you named a column in the table "Squad". The data, for example, would look like: SQUAD|RANK|LNAME|HOME#|CELL#|ROOM# This way, you could at a later time creat queries that you could pull all of the data you needed. Select * from [table] where SQUAD=3 This would pull all of the data for...

    MS Access 97 - Cant properly "Save as/Export..."

    I have an interesting problem here and i can not seem to find anyone else who has the same issues. At some point in time, i lost the ability to save the reports i run in access. My colleagues have the same setup on their computers, but they can save their reports as Access, Rich Text format...

    thanks for the help the computer is part of a domain i have already disabled that part of the security policy - no help have been looking through the event viewer, but no discernable evidence as to anything that might shut the PC down.

    Dos Batch process from win 98 to W2K and XP

    wow, this works like a charm. im a little rusty on my vbs but it is much easier to work with than DOS. I also used that original piece of code to automatically rename multiple text files. what the code below did was rename every file in the current directory to have the same file name, but with...

    Dos Batch process from win 98 to W2K and XP

    well thats quite helpful, i never knew you could just make .vbs files like that. quite handy. anyone know a quick fix for formating the date as 'mmddyyyy'? I am working on it now, but it still comes out like mdyyyy.

    Dos Batch process from win 98 to W2K and XP

    the main purpose is to grab the date off of my computer, and put it into a temporary variable(%DATE%), that i can use to automatically create and name a directory. There may be better ways to do what this file does, but like i said, i would have no idea how to do it.
