Hi, I have a stored procedure (sql server) with 3 parameters that runs fine in query analyzer but returns nothing when I run it through my web page. ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[PROCEDURENAME] @stateschoolID varchar(100), @gender int, @grades varchar(100) AS SELECT * FROM <TABLE> WHERE...

Hi, I've been researching this for a bit and I've had no luck so far. I need to create a control to be able to read a device attached to a serial port on a client's PC. The idea is this: The user start the app (browser) and on one of the screens is a button that when clicked will hopefully...

Hi, Starting my first web app using ASP.NET and I'm storing the connection string in the web.config: <connectionstrings> <add name="foo" connectionstring="provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data source=<source>;Initial Catalog=<database>;UID=<user>;PWD=<pwd>"; </connectionstrings> Problem is when I assign...

Please help! I have an old (not that old) and I want to install windows server 2003 enterprise. I have MSDN pro and have all the DVDs necessary. What I've tried so far is to install over XP pro (won't install), over 98se (won't install), made copies of the DISC1 and DISC2, copied to CD/DVD...

Hi, hope this is the correct forum for this. I've created an app in VB and distributed it using Installshield, been like this for 3 years, no problems. Lately we've had an issue if the user is connected to a LAN, when they uninstall the previous version and install the new version it still...

Hi all, if this is wrong forum then apologies. I have a standalone app in VB6 and MS Access. I was asked recently what would be involved in changing this to use SQL Server instead and have it point to a centralis(z)ed server. Off the top of my head all I could think of was changing the ADO...

This is driving me crazy! I need to be able to login to an sql server db but I can't use windows authentication because some users will have win98. I've set up a test user and tried logging in using that but every time I get "Invalid password" error. I can log on to "Management Studio" using...

Hi, I'm switching from Access to MSDE (2005) using VB as a front end. I can log in ok using windows authentication but realise now that I can't use it because some end-users will have win98. So I've set up a test user to try login from VB but so far with no luck, connections string is as...

Reading through Thread654-1311171 it came to me that some of us have come across situations like that. I'd like to flip this and dedicate this thread to the coworkers have inspired you and how they have done so? Be it a neverending fountain of knowledge, someone who makes you think, someone...

At Dublin airport last week, mindlessly wandering waiting to pick someone up from a flight, I saw a sign on a fire hose (the things that get your attention, eh?), anyway the sign was: Fire Hosereel Shouldn't that be Firehose Reel?????? Am I missing something? Patrick

Hi, Recently had a comment made, by a consultant, on the way I looped through an ADO recordset. What I always do is this ... Do While Not rs.eof rs.movenext loop The comment was that this was the slowest mthod possible for looping. Is this comment correct??? He made no reference to...

Hi all, This is not for me. I've been asked by my nephew, who's interested in becoming a programmer, for some advice. I've no idea where to start, I can give him books, but don't have time to spend with him to answer his questions. Other than tek-tips, do you have any suggestions, links...

Before I start with the question, I do have a little java experience though it's been quite a while since I've done any development. I have an app that I've written in VB (sorry) but some potential customers are using Macs so I have to develop the app in probably java. The back-end is MS...

When I open IE from my desktop it's fine, if I click on a link it's fine. Problem is when I'm running an application and there's a menu item to check for updates, it opens an IE window but it's blank. It only happens from within applications, any ideas?? FYI:: Win XP Pro (SP2), Zonealarm & MS...

Hi all, I've been using the mscomm1 control in an application to interface with a scales. However there seems to be an anomoly. In my code, in the OnComm event, I'm parsing the string in a function as follows: Private Sub cmdRead_Click() If MSComm1.PortOpen = True Then...

I've done extensive research on this but I'm still stumped. I'm using the mscomm control to try to receive data from the serial port, albeit with no luck. Originally I was using a weighing scales (Hampel) but couldn't get that to work so now I'm using a serial mouse I bought yesterday. Thing...

Hi, anybody used vb to interface with Hampel weigh scales through the rs232 port?? Any help / guidance would be greatly appreciated. Patrick

I come from a VB background and have created DLLs using VB but now I want to try using MSVC++. I know this has been done to death here but I'm looking for something different. I want to write a DLL in MSVC++ that I can use from VB6. All the examples I've seen here require a declaration in VB...

First let me start by saying that as much as I would like to I absolutely CANNOT post any formulae details. I get this error when I run a report. There's a formula that contains 2 formulae, which in turn contain more formulae. This goes on for about 7 steps before table names are specified...
