How To Add To An Existing Random File

Jan 19, 2010

Im creating a login system that allows staff to clock in using a 5 digit code. Staff members can also use the "add an employee" function to add a new employee to the Random File.The problem is, everytime i try to create a new employee and hit the save button, the new record writes over the existing records, one by one, everytime the programme is stopped and started up again.

My Question is: How can i get the new record to be saved, without deleting existing records,

Here is the save buttons click method:FileOpen(fileNumber, "C:employee.dat", OpenMode.Random, OpenAccess.Write) 'open the file with Write Access
myEmployee.name = txtNewName.Text 'adds the name
myEmployee.id = txtNewID.Text 'adds the ID
FilePut(fileNumber, myEmployee, n) 'save to the file
FileClose(fileNumber)

How To Read Existing VB 6 Random Access Files

Oct 30, 2010

I have 15 years' worth of files (approx. 10,000) that were created using VB6 structures and stored using the random access method. I am trying to write a conversion routine that will read the old structures and put them into a new format that is more compatible with the .net environment. I have not been able to successfully read any of the old files using the tools available in .net. Each file starts with a header record structure. The header record tells me how many tags are in the file. The next record (ie record number 2) is the first tag pointer record in the file.

There are num_of_tags of the pointer records. Each pointer record has the string that holds the tag's 'literal name and two long integers that tell where in the file this tags records are. Those actual records are stored as History data structures, [Code]

File Access - When Open The File With Something Like Notepad, It Shows Random Ascii Chars?

Oct 19, 2011

Years ago when coding with VB6 and earlier, I used a file open command to create, read, and write a file that made it easy to store useful information.I believe it was binary and you wrote/read the data to a specific line in the file. When you opened the file with something like notepad, it just showed random ascii chars. When I needed a line of data, I could specify what line to load it from.

Link To A Small Zip File With An Existing VB

Sep 23, 2010

Below is a link to a small zip file with an existing VB (2005 I think) program. [URL] This programs detects if the OS is Locked. I want to make a small edit, and have found the required code for the edit, but I have been unsuccessful at attempting to implement the code. As I said this program only detects windows locks and unlocks. What I want to do, is set it to run an exe when I lock my computer. Doesn't matter what the exe is, just a very basic program.

I however have not been able to find where I need to insert this code. The zip file contains about 6-8 files, I thought I found the if statement where I needed to drop the code but even when I added it to every if that seemed probably I couldn't get any result. what if statement the code I need to add should go into. honestly all I need, I can handle the code past finding that.

Open An Existing VB Class File?

Jun 30, 2011

I want to open an existing VB class file, add a few properties and close it again.

Simple enough, I thought: Take the CodeDom, a VBCodeProvider, parse the code (using the Parse-method), then identify the location where I want my stuff added (doubtless using some nifty LINQ expressions), add a bit of code and then have it generated and here we go.

Now I see that Microsoft apparently added the Parse method only for the fun of it but never implemented it.

What's the story here? Can I only generate code from scratch? Is it not possible to load existing code?

Overwriting And Existing Saved File?

Nov 3, 2011

I'm creating an app that will be run via scheduled task, it will save an XLS file with the following naming convention:'S14-PROORDEREXP-Thursday' (the Thursday will change depending on what day of the week it is)I have the following line of code to save this excel file:

VB
If gstrJob = "S11" Then
xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(gstrFilePathS11 & gstrFileNameS11 & gstrFileTypeS11)
Else

this will work fine the first time this scheduled task runs and there are no existing files but at the end of 1 week when I will be overwriting the existing files, how do I tell the application to overwrite the existing files without waiting on a yes prompt from me which it does in debug mode?
