Set A Number Of A Records To Be Saved In MS Access?
Mar 20, 2012
I'm having a problem setting the maximum number of records that can be saved into Access. The maximum allowance is to be 10. Records are being pulled from a listbox. The whole problem is that if the listbox has 7 items and my table already has 5 records, it still records them, making a total of 12. What I'm looking for is a way to trap that to a max of 10.[code]...
i have a sql table which has 2 fields number & name
1 abc 2 xyz
Situation is that the app finds out max of number and increments it by 1 to get new number.The problem is when two users enter some record sometimes two records get saved on same number.
I've found a sql string like: "SELECT Count(*) FROM table"My question is: how can I use this string and get the result into a variable in VB2010? I used to program with VB6 for years, but now things are very different.
I am new to VB and trying my hand at the below code. I am trying to determine the number of records for each possible combination. Depending on the outcome of the number of records groups may be combined. I am not able to find the record count for each grouping. Can you please look at the code below and suggest what I am doing wrong?
I am using VS 2010 and Access 2010 and in a table I have a Primary Key called Counter which is an Autonumber.When I save a record I need to be able to access the value of the counter field for the new record. When I try and access the field I get a value of zero.I can see the value in Access but I cannot set it in Vb.Net. I have set the fields and then
I have problems to print the records which is saved in text file. It prints whatever in between the textfile but does not print whatever contents in the textfile.

I'm trying to build a new customer data entry page for a db project. One of the features I would like to add is a way to check and see if there have been any new records that have been added that haven't been explicitly saved to the db. If so, when the form_closing events fires I want to evaluate whether or not new entries have been made that weren't saved, and then count the number of rows that haven't been saved.
I have a textbox, a sql database, a binding source bound to the sql database. I can use auto-complete mode of the textbox with custom strings and it suggests in in a drop down form as the user types in a textbox. How can I use autocomplete mode with datasaved in different records of a field using the bindingsource?
I want to search the records from the textbox and display the records to the datagridview, if there are no records, just display empty on the datagridview.
this is not working: Dim sqlsearch As String sqlsearch = "SELECT * FROM setting WHERE mname LIKE '%" & TextBox.Text
I'm trying to create a function to extract the filename and number from saved files where the filename and number is not known before hand. I successfully created this example but the file name in the example is hardcoded. My program creates backup files and numbers them starting a one. I want to extract the saved files and list them in a treelist by filename only.ie.. unknown filename 1, backup 1, saved file 1, saved file 2, here is what i have but it only retrieves the hardcoded filename.
I'm trying to access a database which is presently saved in .cds format (which I believe is a TClientDataSet) from within my programme written in VB.Net. The reason being, is that the programme I am writing uses the same database as another programme. Both programmes will never being running at the same time, and it is a read-only operation so I could potentially duplicate the database and convert the database to an SQL-compatible format, but obviously this isn't a tidy solution.Is there anyway that I can directly read data from the .cds file with VB.Net? It seems like this would be something that is not too complex and wouldn't be too different from just reading a .csv file.
I 'm trying to develop a database whereby all information input via vb 2008 will be saved into a microsoft access database. I've tried to populate a few information. The data was saved at that point, but when i reopen my system the next day, all the rows are gone. [code]
If i run the program in debugmode and then do a update it will be saved to the database.(must stop and run again to see the update. How to se the update directly?) My main problem is that if a build the program and run it outside VS then update never being saved. How can i solve this. I tried using "commit"(maybe totaly wrong) but that didnt work.
I'm having a problem that I've spent all day researching to try and figure out. It seems that the 'Attachment' type in an Access 2007 DB file is stored as three seperate pieces of data in the one field. If you open up the Relationships view, you can see it in the table itself.
I'm trying to do a simple DVD movie database to keep track of everything I have, and who I've loaned things out to. I'm doing this in part to further my education in VB.NET and to figure out some of the things involved with interacting with databases. I haven't actually written any code yet, read on and you'll understand what's going on.
I've got an Attachment field setup in the database to hold a picture of the movie poster or DVD cover art or something like that to help identify the film, and I named it 'Art' of type 'Attachment' since that will hold an image. Looking at the table in Access I see that 'Art' is broken down into three entries: Art.FileData, Art.FileName, Art.FileType. I'd like to be able to pull the filename and file type and display those on the form, but we'll get to that later.
When I use a drag-n-drop gridview of the database into my blank VB form, the Art field just shows the filename, in my case it's 'screenshot.png' since I just dumped a screen shot in as a test. So, the gridview on the form will see the field and display the filename, which is fine. If I do another Windows form and drag-n-drop a Details View (instead of the grid view), and have the Art field in the table set to a PictureBox (in the Data Sources view, you can highlight a field and then designate it as text or picture or date or whatever), I end up with a blank box instead of my image.
I haven't typed any code into any of the forms at this point. I'm still in the Designer trying to get the layout and stuff the way I want it, afterwhich I'll start adding buttons and methods and such to search for things, print out a nice list of the films in the database (with and without pictures) and be able to sort out a list of who I've loaned things to (like an overdue book list). But so far, by just dragging and dropping from the Data Sources into the form, Studio automatically creates the dataset and bindings and such to read from the database file, and I can see all of my test data *except* for the image in the PictureBox (it's just blank/empty).
So, if you want to see what's happening and sort this out, then you need to do the following:
1. Create an access database with a table, that table having at least one field of type 'Attachment'
2. put a picture/image into that field as a first entry
3. in Studio (or in my case Express), create a new project, which'll have a blank form in it by default
4. create your database connection by using the 'Add new data source...' wizard for your Access DB file
5. from the Data Sources, expand the table views and change the attachemnt field from the default of TextBox to a PictureBox (you may have to Customize the types to get PictureBox to show up)
6. drag and drop that whole table onto your form, which will automatically create form elements to display the data and stuff
7. Run it, you'll see the problem.
I have no idea what I need to look at or edit or change to get this PictureBox to display the image from the database. Like I said before, if I leave the type set to the default of TextBox in the Data Sources view, then the field will display the filename of the file stored in that field of the database. Having not typed any code yet, I have nothing that I've done that I can edit other than the automatically created stuff that Studio did when I dragged the table into the form.
Being completely unfamiliar with how VB.NET wants to talk to a database (SQL server, Access or otherwise) I decided to create this little program to learn how to do it. But I ran into this problem and need a little help. What I'm looking for is what I need to change in the bindingSource or TableAdapter or TableAdapterManager or BindingsNavigator or whatever resource is binding the fields on the form to the entries in the database so that the PictureBox will get the part of my 'Art' field that actually holds the image, not the filename or the type. I don't know how to do that, and that's what I'm trying to learn. What I would like to know is how to both get the image to display in the PicutreBox and pull the filename for that image as well to display beneath it or something in the form.
And before someone starts complaining about writing the whole program for me, I must say this is one element of a large personal project and if you read my entire post here you'll see that there are many other elements that will eventually go with it. I just need some help getting this one thing to work. Multiple web searches and such point to a variety of different approaches, many of which I've tried to implement but nothing has worked. I'd like to do this entirely in .NET with no other dependencies if at all possible, but some of what I've seen so far today suggests using Interop and other things to make this work, but those haven't panned out for me either as of yet. My ultimate goal with this whole program is to have one (albeit probably large) executable file that will encompass the entire program, and to have it all work. After that, then I'll look into things like creating my own modules and DLL's and such to thin it out, but I'm not even close to that point yet.
I'm using VB.net 2008 and I just want to know the syntax or the command that gets the number of records in a table.I saw numerous syntax on the net like this
The code below carries out the query find but continues to add records to the table.I amtrying to find out what the record count is so that I can then performnother action. When the query is executed the first pass the record count is 19.This is valid and matches the DB The 2nd pass the record count is 49, but the DB only shows 30.

I have 1000 records in DatagridView. I want to Display only 500 records in datagridview. I will put a button and a TextBox, and Enter 500 in TextBox, It should show 500 Records. How to Do?
I am creating a simple button based rpg and was wondering if someone could help me with 3 things how to hold information within the game until the player save's the game, Saving the game, and Loading the game.I want the saved games to be saved onto a encryted file like .db or .dat file..
I have a vb application sitting on sql 2005 database i want a scenario where the application can check the number of records inserted into a particular table(Users) , if the number of records inserted into that table after 1wk since the last insert is less than 100 records it should pop up a warning alert with the total number of records
I am trying to display the content of the text box according the number of records in the database. When i do it manually it works but when i do it through the "for" loop i am confused. my code is as below
For i = 0 To total_rec fname1.Text = ds.Tables("roster").Rows(total_rec).Item("FirstName") lname1.Text = ds.Tables("roster").Rows(total_rec).Item("LastName") Next
Now i want to change the index of "fname1" some thing like "fname(total_rec)" but it does not work
I have to export the data from the database to .txt file, I have the code below that does export it to .txt file but I'm having problems with this code because the data that I'm exporting is about 5 000000 records, it is quite slow and sometimes the pc can't handle it and stops the exporting.
Dim saveFile As New SaveFileDialog If saveFile.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then command = New SqlCommand
If you are working on a large record in database. How you manage to use the INSERT,,UPDATE? I mean when selecting a record base on two tables or more and those tables consist of 20 columns it hazard to put all those columns in one query.
[code]...
How to lessen the code without typing all those queries over and over again ?
