View 3 RepliesVS 2008 .DBF Connection String - Invalid File Path?
Sep 21, 2009Dim dbconn As OleDbConnection
Dim DBCommand As OleDbDataAdapter
Dim DS As New DataSet
dbconn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:COLORsitedataCUFORHDR.dbf;Extended Properties=dBASE IV;")
[Code]...
I prefer SQL server but im afraid in this app I have no choice. I think the .DBF file is v III dBase according to a thrid party .dbf viewer. The code explodes on the DBCommand.Fill(DS) line, telling me I have provided and invalid file path. The path is good to go.
Should I be using a driver with a different provider? When I remove the Extended Properties parameter I get an error unrecognizable database format - hinting in this case the path is correct.

2010 OleDb Text Connection String: "Not Valid Path"
Nov 7, 2010I've been all over the help files and finally patched together a VB OleDb connection string for delimited text files:
Dim connection As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=" & fName & ";" & "Extended Properties=""text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited"""
"fName" is passed in by an open file dialog.In every case (for all paths) it throws: 'C:1_2010NormalFileNormal.csv' (or where ever it is pointed) is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.Since no path works, it must be a syntax error, but I'll be darned if I can see it.
Full code of this routine is:
Dim connection As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=" & fName & ";" & "Extended Properties=""text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited"""
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection(connection)

View 4 RepliesString Concatenation - Problems Caused By Space(s) Within Path/File Name?
Mar 29, 2011I've got a small app which I use to start a 3rd party application. When run from a shortcut the VB app starts the 3rd party app to and when loaded it displays its own file/folder interface, the VB app the closes itself. However, if you open a file in explorer associated with the 3rd party app, the 3rd party application loads and opens the file itself and not the file/open interface.
Uh OK, so what's the problem??The issue is I have changed the file extension associated with the 3rd party app to now use my VB app. I can successfully open files with the app from explorer if there are no spaces in the file or folder path however if there are, the 3rd party app opens and displays a File not found error message and gives the path up to the point where the space then follows.The relevant snippets of code from the app relating to the issue is below, specifically Dim Arguments variable where I am not quite sure how my string cocantenation should be to deal with the value of the variable 'Filename' which may or may not contain spaces.

VS 2005 Refuses To Write To A Text File If The String Used To Be A Path
Dec 13, 2009I've searched everywhere to find out why the heck my program is doing this, but couldn't find anything like it...? I'm making a flash card program. Part of my program takes images corresponding to other data from a certain area, chosen by the user, and moves them to another folder, for later use. I want to store the path for the image next to the other data, storing the path as a string. When no image is chosen, the variable for the path is simply "no image".
