williamu - Your assumption is correct. To my knowledge you can't easily create a MSComm object at runtime using 'New'. However, you can create and destroy references to existing objects. In situations like this, I usually lump controls like this that can't be created at run-time (also Common...

I would love to grab a quick recordset and store it locally and operate on it, but i haven't found a way to do this without installing the local ultralite database on the ppc. Like I said, my data requirements are minimal. All i need to do is pull a list of names off the network server (a 2000...

Thanks strongm, that did the trick!

Hello all. I'm a bit new to creating my own user controls, and was wondering if someone could tell me how i need to define the control properties such that at design time, my property "BackColor" can popup that little color picker like all the intrinsic controls. I have also defined...

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm working on a Pocket PC app using VS.net 2003. I'd like to open an ado connection to a sybase db on our serveramd grab a few records. DOes anyone know of a way to do this with out installing additional software? I know Sybase has an ultralite db...

I'm currently developing a Pocket PC 2003 app in VS.net 2003 using VB. I have searched unsuccessfully for a way to directly invoke the VoiceRecorder of the Pocket PC from VB.net. Has anyone done or heard of this? If ound a few examples using unsafe code in C#, but was hoping there was a more...

I recently inherited a client's 2000 exchange server on a win 2000 box serving some 50 users. This thing was initially setup for internal use only. They called the domain 'DOMAIN' (clever, huh?) so they had everyone setup and running with mailboxes like frank@domain.com. Now they want to...

Does the exit button Hide the form, or unload it? Maybe some stuff that you think is happening in the form_load event isn't firing.

You can test to see if the file exists using the Dir() function. If it doesn't (Dir returns "") then pop open a Common Dialog Cotrol (Open File mode) style, and let the user brose for the requested file. Check back in if you need help with the syntax.

Right on dan. If all elise needs is the file name to look at, Dir is certainly sufficient, and probably more Efficient. THe only reason I suggested FSO was that it would allow more options in picking the files, possibly using other properties of the File object as criteria. I still can't...

good eye danvlas! That one slipped right by me

intCount = rsMyRecordset.Fields.Count

Maybe the .Add Method dosn't like long filenames? Try creating a temp dir and a test file, then attaching that: .Attachments.Add("C:\Test\test.txt") What email system are you using?

1. If your db is file based (like MS Access) make sure it is not in a URL addressable area, to prevent unauthorized download. 2. Use asp to restrict access to the actual web app, i.e. if the user's not already logged in, redirect to/display login. 3. In the asp code that accesses the db, make...

are you just using a static image for the banner? there in *nice* browsers there is an onError event for images: <img src=&quot;banner.gif&quot; onError=&quot;this.src='different.gif';&quot; />
