Did you create a deploy for the application and deploy it on XP or did you just copy over the exe?

No problem, happy to help. The get and savesetting() really don't intefere with the registry that much, so don't be afraid to use them. Still, it's always a great idea to back it up anyway. Have fun with VB! Be an idiot: http://www.freakingidiot.com

When you say config files, what's in them? I think using app.path & "\settings\file.txt is fine for the most part, but you have may have to write some code that reproduces those file(s) if they are some how deleted. For configuration settings (user and otherwise), I usually use the registry...

I see, the "ressources\fileInput.txt" part is getting messed up. While telling you that using file names like this isn't good coding in the long run, I'll also tell you how to remain with the same path. Try something like this: strPath = App.path & "\ressources\fileInput.txt" open strPath for...

Here's the part I don't get: "The problem I have is after I select a file using the Common Control and close the form and open it again (it's the 2nd form the first one just open the 2nd form), I get a "Path not Found" in FillComboBox...I assume it can't find the path ...

Here's a star for all the work you tried to do to help lebisol, but still nothing. It really doesn't matter anyway, as long as the data can be used. Be an idiot: http://www.freakingidiot.com

Here's a picture of what I mean: http://www.drscripting.com/filemaker.jpg The 'salutation' field is new, and as you can see, is it a light grey color. The database won't let me turn it black. Be an idiot: http://www.freakingidiot.com

Hi, I searched for this but couldn't find it anywhere. I used the "contact management" template to enter in names and addresses. I added a new field, however, that field is a light grey while all the other fields are in black in the Browse Mode | Table view. I tried changing the color...

Thanks Clint, it works great now. Be an idiot: http://www.freakingidiot.com
