Gentlemen: Thank you all so much for a series of prompt and robust replies! Of course, I have to give myself 50 lashes for implying this Siemens Speedstream is doing DSL when in fact it is cable. My apologies to Crowtalks. I am dealing with Cox Cable installing cable service in a new business...

I have a Siemens Speedstream 4100 modem providing DSL service. This device comes with a default IP of 192.168.0.1 and that has been the active IP address on that device from day one. I am now installing a D-Link 2310 broadband router that comes with the same default address of 192.168.0.1 It...

I am looking at Chrissie1's reply where he changes the Me.Close() to newcase.Close(). When I entered the same code in my project, I got an error that newcase was not declared. As I look at the code in the thread, I am wondering how you can use "newcase.Close()" in the Private Sub btnExitCase...

I am adding a button to a form at runtime: Dim formabc as New Form() Dim newbut as New Button() newbut.Text = "Go for it" newbut.Location = New Point (100,100) formabc.Controls.Add(newbut) I am sorry if this sounds simplistic but how can I now add any action for this button if I can't get out...

I was able to see how to solve this by referencing the form ahead of time using DIM. Take care and this thread can be closed.

I have a main form that I use as a start point. Once a checkbox is checked, I successfully open a 2nd form on which is a button. Upon the user clicking that button, I am trying to open a 3rd form called NMember. On the button click action on the 2nd form, I have this code: Private Sub...

Thanks for the reply. I am sorry I neglected to mention that bringing in a database is not an option here. It is strictly a matter of doing string comparisons and I was looking to see if there was a known routine that was optimized for this task. I know I have my work cut out for myself when...

I generate flat ASCII text files in a application where each row contains a full name e.g., John Q. Public. It is unavoidable that I will end up with duplicates of some names so naturally, I am looking to pare down the output file to only unique entries. While I know I could write code to look...

Thanks so much for the great and timely response. I will put this to use immediately and I appreciate your efforts in helping me.

I am trying to use the built-in VB tools rather than manually code my task of trying to tell if a string character I have trapped is or is not a member of an array. This would seem to be a classic use of ArrayList.contains but the documentation is sparse on examples that I can go forward with...

Hello- I am having a great time coding in Visual Basic using Visual Studio 7.0.9955 doing the kinds of things it was meant to do i.e., forms, dialogs, etc. However, it is probably no surprise that now and then while working alot with ASCII flat files, I need to execute a DOS type command (more...

To jebenson- I can't thank you enough for this quick and soooo helpful response. You can't believe what a roadblock you have pushed aside for me and I truly appreciate it. In the spirit of this forum, I will do all I can do help fellow users, even though my expertise is somewhat limited...

I am using Visual Basic .NET, Version 7.0.9955 that comes with the Michael Halvorsen Book, "Microsoft Visual Basic .NET - Step by Step." I assume what I am trying to do is doable in Visual Basic unless someone can tell me there just isn't a way to accomplish this task. I am trying to...

I can create code to draw a line on a form. I can create code to place and display two buttons on a form, separated by some spacing. I am looking to be able to draw a line that connects two buttons such that it persists when the form is minimized then re-opened. I am aware that putting the line...

Thanks very much for the post. I did find that I can use the manual Setup Project without the need for the Wizard. Looks like everything that I need is there. Thanks again.
