    Crystal 8/9 conflict

    as a means of closing this thread, I thought i'd report back on the work around that I have found. The problem lies in the crpe32.dll, the crystal9 product updated this file, which stopped our product working. By putting the crystal 8.5 version of this file in the same location as our exe it...

    Crystal 8/9 conflict

    thanks for that, I was hoping it would come to that, as it will mean a lot of coding for relativly low functionality, it also only affects a few clients at the moment. Thanks though. Matt If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you obviously haven't grasped the...

    Crystal 8/9 conflict

    Hi, We have an application that uses the crystal ocx (crystl32.ocx) from crystal 8. One of our clients has installed software which uses crystal 9 and this is breaking the ocx. We can still print reports fine, but we were using the functionality of generating a report on the fly from data...

    Create a VB exe that can be run as a Service

    There are a couple of ways. I should point out that Microsoft activly discourage it though. http://www.smsoft.ru/en/ntservice.htm this is a very good way to do it, I have used this and it works nicley. http://www.vbwire.com/advanced/howto/service2.asp This is the microsoft way, it involves an...

    Oracle Network Install

    Hi, I used to work for a company where the oracle client didn't need to be installed on every machine. Instead they had a mapped drive with the client install components on, a path setting which pointed to this and some reg settings. For the life of me I can't remember the reg settings that...

    Hi Vincentan, Open your report in crystal, in the Database menu there is an option 'Verify on every print', click this and then save the report. hopefully it will help you out, I wish I could say what causes the problem, but I never worked that out! regards Matt If you can keep your head...

    Network problems

    Ok, once again sorry for the delay, I was on a well earned holiday! I have now discovered that if after the connection fails I restart the DNS client service then I get the connection back for a short period. This will only work a couple of times though, then I need the full reboot again...

    Better way to hide Access Password

    I normally keep passwords in the registry, I encrypt them first. Hard coding the password makes it harder to change should someone discover it, also but not storing it in the exe it doesn't matter that "PWD=" exists, as you will be using a variable anyway. The only place a hacker can find it is...

    Installation Newbie

    I don't quite understand, you are installing the application on to the windows98 machine, and you can't write data from that machine? are you trying to share the database, or does each copy of the app have its own database? Matt If you can keep your head while those around you are losing...

    Licence server and Terminal services

    Hi, This may be in the wrong forum, but I'll try here first. We have an application that we want to extend to talk to a licence server. The licence server should log how many clients are logged in and stop new log ons if they have run out of licences. In itself this seemed quite easy, I...

    Network problems

    thanks for the suggestions. I am inclined to think it is not the router though, as my father in law has the same problem, but he has a belkin wireless router(with a lead to his desktop, so not actually using the wireless bit), again with latest firmware and drivers. I have done the winsock...

    Network problems

    Ok, WINS is disabled so it cant be that. It seems to be DNS that is not working because the connection itself is still up, in that if something is already connected( a download for example) it will stay connected. However no addresses can be resolved. I would think this to be a problem with...

    Registry API with windows XP

    could it be a permissions thing on XP? I'm not too sure about permissions on ME but with XP you have to have admin rights to touch parts of the registry. regards Matt If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you obviously haven't grasped the seriousness of the situation
