I've created a program and using a setup and deployment project, I've created an msi file to use for installation. I'm including the Crystal Reports merge module, so the installation takes quite a while. The install works fine, it's when I create a new version that I'm having problems. I have a...

Thanks. Is there a way to install either of those with the install? Is it just another reference needed in my setup and deployment project? Sorry if my questions are rookie... I've not done an install before. thanks again! Thanks - Todd

I'll give that a try, but one more question. What about computers that don't have Office at all? Right now I'm including the adodb.dll in the install, which works on my Vista test machine, because I don't have office installed. Thanks - Todd

If I use Ace, will that work on machines that don't have Office 2007? Or is there an include I'll need for those older machines? Thanks - Todd

He has office 2007 on his computer, but my software worked fine on his computer with the first version I sent him, so it had to have used Jet correctly I would think. I have a connection string in my code to connect to the db... "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" &...

I guess a couple other things I should mention... I have Vista Business on my laptop. And the tester has Vista Home Premium. On my laptop, the main program installs to C:\Program Files\ (with data still going to ProgramData), but on the tester's computer it goes to C:\Program Files (x86)\, even...

I'm writing an application in VB.Net 2005. As I get to a good stopping point, I compile and build an install and send it to our tester friend. This is my first program that will need to be installed on Vista. The first version I gave him worked just great. But the second version I'm getting the...

I've created an application in VS 2005 that houses data in an access database. I've also created a setup project to deploy the software. I'm having issues when trying to install on a Vista machine. I'm saving my database to the C:\ProgramData folder like I read somewhere. The first time that I...

I figured it out. I was assuming it was a tab. I had also tried comparing it against vbCrLf. But, as it turns out, it was just a vbLf. oof! Thanks - Todd

I'm reading a record from an access database. In one record, I have some tab and carriage return delimited information. Specifically, Name<tab>Address<return>Name<tab>Address<return> etc. Well, I'm then using that data to merge into a word document, so I needed to add formatting. So, now it...

Ok, so I have a repeater on my aspx page. One of the fields is a date. I want to format this to the shortdate format. The date comes from a database, so it could be null, which is what causes the problem. Here is my code... <%# iif(not (DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DueDate") is...

I'm trying to create help files using HTML Help Workshop: 4.74.8702.0. I've created my alias.h and map.h files and my html files. I've also linked them to certain textboxes on my VB form. alias.h ---------- CNum_Help = Helpfiles\clientinfo.htm#clientnumber; FName_Help =...

Thanks Jeff! The eval() function was just what I needed! (star for you) Thanks - Todd

well, the whole validation could change. I was just using a simple example. It could be anything like the following... sStringFromDB = "(cint(sVariable) > cint(200) or cint(sVariable) < cint(100))" sStringFromDB = "nCategoryID = ""1000""" ...and since this can change to whatever to be able...

Ok, so the subject doesn't really make sense, but I didn't know how to sum it up very well. Here's what I want to do, and hopefully its possible. I want to be able to pull a validation rule from the DB and store it in a variable. The reason for this is because the rules could change and we...
