    Total Newbie PL/SQL Question

    johnherman, Thanks for your reply. I kind of assumed that, but procedures have to be called, right? In other words, if I have many procedures/functions in my package, and they do certain functionality, that isn't performed until the procedure/function is called, right? If that's the case...

    Running reports externally for 11i

    By the way, I should have mentioned that we have edited existing reports with Oracle Reports 6i. If there's anything else I can provide to get suggestions, I'd be happy to do so. Thanks. Steve

    Running reports externally for 11i

    Ok, I'm a real newbie here, so please be gentle. :) We're in the middle of an implementation of Oracle 9i and Oracle Application 11i. There are a few reports such as Invoices, Purchase Orders, AP Checks, etc. that we'd like to do a bit of customization to. We have made small changes using...

    Expand/Contract "Details" area as needed?

    Thanks so much! I almost am there. The only problem is: There's two "Suppress" boxes. I assume I click one. One is labeled "Suppress (No Drill-Down)" and one is "Suppress Blank Section". I assume it's the first, but when I click the "x+2" button for my formula, I'm not sure what to put in...

    Expand/Contract "Details" area as needed?

    ...Detail3 Notice the extra spacing between my detail records. Is there a way I can add data without increasing the space for my detail area? *On a side note, does anyone know how I can prompt for my Select Expert criteria? I run this report individually for specific account numbers, but...

    Help converting this vb6 code to vb.net?

    Riverguy, You're 100% right. I apologize. I plan to be a bit more focused later today. :) As far as the PrintReport sub, it's just a sub that was used with an older version of Crystal Reports to actually just print the results... Anyway, sorry for the bad post. I was going to be out...

    Help converting this vb6 code to vb.net?

    Rob, Thanks for the tips. I guess my main concern is: I want to do this right, and using DAO is now dead. I have other another module I did that uses DataTables and works great, but that's a form. This is primarily just computing a few things to populate a database table. The real problem I...

    Big favor to ask

    ...database if someone would be kind enough to help me out. I'm just looking for a few tips on what I'm doing wrong, where I could improve, etc. I'm *NOT* looking for someone to write it for me, but hoping for a guiding hand. I'll guarantee a Christmas card to anyone who'd be so cool! :)...

    Dataset overkill for my application?

    Brian, Thanks a bunch! Unfortunately, I'm not using a DataGrid, but I got this working yesterday: Private Sub txtCompetitor_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtCompetitor.Leave txtName.Text = dr.GetString(0) & ", " & dr.GetString(1) Dim...

    Dataset overkill for my application?

    Sorry for my ignorance, but I can't find anywhere in my books or elsewhere how to do that. Any pointers on where I could look?

    Dataset overkill for my application?

    Thanks for your reply! Both fair questions - :) To explain better: I'm dealing with 10 text boxes. However, this is NOT a datagrid, just a traditional application form. I don't have any need for navigation between records because the first two textboxes are for a competition number and a...

    Good ADO.NET Book

    You can't go wrong with: Micorosft ADO.NET Core Reference by David Sceppa ISBN: 0735614237 Seems to be the favorite of most, and I use it constantly.

    Dataset overkill for my application?

    I'm looking for opinions/suggestions. Please help! :) I'm a newbie, so please be gentle. I have a simple windows application that has ten text boxes. They are: txtCompetition, txtCompetitor, and eight scores: txtScore1...txtScore8, etc. There's also a save button. The first two text boxes...

    Newbie question on scope and datasets

    Hoping someone can help me out: I have a fairly simple windows application that uses an Access database. I'd like to bind textboxes to my dataset, but am unsure where I'm going wrong... The problem is, upon "GotFocus" of a certain textbox, I want to open a dataset and keep it open...

    File.Copy problem - Empty file

    Well, this option seemed great, but it seems that the file is still in use by the first object whilst trying to copy the second. So now I get a message saying "The process cannot access the file 'c:\...' because it is being used by another process." Grrr... I guess I'll have to go...

    File.Copy problem - Empty file

    intrex, Thanks alot. The system.threading.thread.sleep method worked great. I had to fiddle with the number of ms, but 400 seems to work. Weird, huh? I noticed that it doesn't matter what order I do the copying in - the first destination can be zero bytes if the sleep isn't used. The...

    File.Copy problem - Empty file

    Hi. I have a function that fires on the creation of a file in a directory. What I want to do is make two copies of the file, copying one to one directory on a remote machine and another copy to a directory on the local machine, and then I want to delete the original. Here's a small snippet of...

    FileSystemWatcher "created" event won't fire as a service - HE

    I'm in *desperate* need for help. I'm a bit of a newbie, so please be gentle. :) I'm trying write a vb.net program as a service. Essentially, all I want to do is have the FileSystemWatcher wait for files to be copied into a directory. As they are, any that have a .bmp, a .pcl, or a .inv...
