I'm working with a connection to a Access db. I noticed that when the mdb file is not found in the location it should be, an exception OleDbException is thrown. I would like to create some kind of form where the user specify the new position of the Access mdb file to continue to work. Then, it would be useful to save the new location as well I suppose. But, where do I have to handle that exception?

I recently upgraded my system to Windows 7 64bit and ever since then I have had nothing but issues with my code attempting to access an Oracle database. I was using msdaora for my connection string however that does not work in 64bit. I changed over to OraOLEDB.Oracle which everything I can find on Google says to use however it fails every time. I have installed Oracle 11g 2 times now and even tried reinstalling VB.net 2010 and still no luck.
Here is my connection string....
Code:
MyConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Server=emsp.grhq.XXXX.com;Data Source=emsp;User Id=XXXX;password=XXXX"
And I am inporting....
Code:
Imports System.Data.OracleClient
Yet when I try it says...

I am trying to run a fortran .exe in VB with the Shell() command. The fortran .exe, when ran, it asks you for a file name. It works perfectly on it's own, but when I try calling it through VB Shell(), it does not work.. (i.e. I cannot get VB to get the file name in it.)
Added info:I am using VB9 but I'm writing in compatibility to .NET. As for the Fortran .exe, when you call it, it opens a command window where it asks for a file name (which I got as a string in VB and I'm trying to pass it in), then you press Enter and it's done. Basically the .exe takes a text file and creates a new text file. We've also tried adding & mystring when calling the exe, but it gives a "file not found" error.
We have an VB.net application that is being moved from one box to another. It runs great on the old box. The new box is configured the same as the old one but is on newer hardware. When I run the application on the new server it complains that the adobe toolkit that we use can not be found.

I'm developing a very simple app that does nothing more than launch two other apps. I'm developing this under the .NET 2.0 framework for WinCE 5.0 in VS2005.No matter what I do, I keep getting file not found exceptions not handled, and the program crashes. (Yes I should probably have a try/catch block, but this isn't the issue.)
Here's some code
fullPath = Path.GetFullPath(drivePath)
Me.Label1.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 6.0!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular)
Me.Label1.Text = fullPath & strDrivePath
Now, the label change here is not important, I only do this to output the full path of the directory, and strDrivePath is "whatever.exe"
If Directory.Exists(fullPath) Then
If File.Exists(fullPath & strDrivePath) Then
Me.Label1.Text = "EXISTS!!!"
[code].....
The irritating thing is after getting and displaying the full path (I know it's there) I check with the first IF to prove to the program it's there. No problem.I then use the second IF to prove to the program that the executable is there, and change the label output on screen to prove to myself the code is executed. The label changes. The file is there.
Then when I run the program, File not found exception. It's driving me insane. I've tried in multiple OSes (Vista and CE 5.0), I've tried in directories with spaces and no spaces, I've tried using Process.Start() and setting up the file details through the info command.I've tried putting a path in there directly instead of using variables. I've tried wrapping the whole kit and kabodle in quotes like this Shell("" & fullPath & strDrivePath & "" ) and like this Shell("""" & fullPath & strDrivePath & """").I've searched high and low on forums around the globe, including multiple threads here and I just cannot get it to work.

I had the following piece of code working for the last few weeks and earlier today it seems stopped working.I have the code in a try/catchh block and in that try I create a file, "Build.bat" with code in it that will get it to do some oracle/sql wizardry

After stepping through my code I noticed that the catch is executed at the shell line, so I put it in an if statement to see if the file exists and it always comes up as true, but on the next line I still get a File not Found error.

I have a solution which upon a button push, loads a PDF into the application for viewingThe loaded PDF is an index page linking to other PDFs. This all came off a CD of a VendorMy client want me to create a "Job Book" of all the CDs from these vendors.Here is the issue.When select the button for a particular document, the front page of the PDF (Index Page) load fine. The loaded PDF has buttons as links to the various pdfs so when I select a button within the loaded PDF I get a message stating it cannot find the pdf requested. The buttons within the index pdf are all set to relative path so all the folders should be available. but alas the program does not find them.

IF fileName <> "found"

In the old dos days you could combine 2 files as save to a third file:copy file1 + file2 file3. It still works in a dos shell. I did this: Shell("copy " & file1 & " + " & file2 & " " & file3)I got an error that file3 cannot be found. I know it doesn't exist I want to create it. So I created a bat file:copy %1 + %2 %3 and called it as such:Shell("ccopy " & file1 & " " & file2 & " " & file3). I still get the error that file3 cannot be found. First I don't see how it can tell from the shell that file3 is a file. How do I do this otherwise? Do I have to create a blank file before calling it?
