I have a small vb.net application that fires a crystal report through crystal viewer.
The report uses an ODBC connection provided by 32-bit software accounts package, which is installed in the ODBC 32-bit This all works fine on 32-bit XP and 32-bit Win7 with no problems, When run on a win7 64-bit machine the application launches ok, but when it comes to running the report, it prompts for a database logon box for the odbc connection.
When the report is run seperate on its own, on the exact same pc through crystal reports desginer it runs fine, Its almost like the application is not picking the 32-bit ODBC set up is it the case that the connection needs to be coded rather than using the report connection,

I am connecting to Citrix database using SQL-defined ODBC. Having a problem with it. I am updating an existing application that uses the ODBC in SQL, and it connects fine. However, that database connection is secured, only available on the production side. The test side has a remote connection. I am attempting to change the remote connection values to match the parameters of the SQL-based ODBC, but the labels are different, and it doesn't seem to match. Specifically, I don't think I'm getting the DataSource correct. Also, it can't find the username and password that I use to log into the remoter connection - I get an error message "Invalid authorization specification".
In the old version Visual Basic 6, my code to connect to our Prophet 21 Progress database was:

"insert into table1 (parameter1,parameter2,....) values (value1, value2,....)"something like "set table1 (parameter1, parameter2) values (value1,value 2,...) where ...."?because I only know the syntax to define each parameters value "set table parameter1=value, parameter2=value2... where"
This program is very difficult for me, but I must get threw it or I cannot finish... What I am doing is making a Database of foreign Languages with the spelling of the words and the pronounciation inside the database... The USER enters a paragraph of words into the translator textbox and pushed translate.

Ill start this by saying im still very new to VB, ive had some programming expereice here and there since high school, but never really did much with it till now.Ive got a small app that im working on for a side project, i want to add the details of a given days records from a simple POS system i have built up so far. At this point i have all of the information generated and i cant seem to get the app to commit it to the database. I have seen tons of posts on this, and i have followed a bunch of them to no avail. Im sure this problem is because i have the code written wrong, and i cant get it figured out. Here is the code that im using to try to save the data:
Dim hoursworked As TimeSpan = dtpEndTime.Value.Subtract(dtpStartTime.Value) hours As Double = Math.Round(hoursworked.Hours + (hoursworked.Minutes / 60), 2)
