I have a problem with Oledb connection when I am trying to open an Excel spreadsheet:
[code]...
This piece of code works well on one computer, but on another the IMEX=1 doesn't seem to work, and the Jet seems to read the first few rows of the Excel spreadsheet that are numeric and decides that the whole spreadsheet is numeric, so it ignores some String values later in the sheet.
I have this OLEDB connection string
connectionstring as string = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & _ data.toString & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=2
I just want to know what is the meaning of HDR and IMEX, and what are their purpose on the connection string?
I'm trying to update my database, I'm using access 2003, my problem is that for some reason I can update the first row but when I try to update any other rows after that I keep getting an error saying Column 'ProductID' is constrained to be unique. Value '7' is already present.
View 6 RepliesI am a complete beginner with Visual Basic, I am attempting to continue where the original creator left off. His project is finished but he didnt (and still doesnt) have time to fix a couple of bugs with his code....Basically, he has written a small VB application that closes SWF flash files if the CRC matches from a list... So when an SWF is loaded into explorer the SWF is hash checked and then closed if it matches from the "hashcheck.txt" file.
All is working apart from 2 small bugs:
1) %^&{}[]#`� - dont work.Ive found that If there is any of these charactors in the folder or filename structure the file doesnt get checked/closed.
2) Network paths do not work.. (maybe is part of above bug?)

I have a VS2005 utility that I'm working on that has an Access 2003 backend. A couple of days ago, my boss asked that I change one field in two tables from TEXT to MEMO, to allow more information to be put in. In doing some final pre-deployment testing, I find when I hit my button to pull up the list of tickets, I get the error
"System.Data.ConstraintException was unhandled
Message="Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.""
The datagrid is based on a query I have in the database. The query runs fine, and when I go through the XSD and go into Query Builder, the QB is also returning data. I have made the various changes to the utlity as suggested by Microsoft, but no luck. When I put the two columns back to TEXT, the Grid works fine.
How the heck do I set it up so that the grid will recognise the new data format? The number of characters for the individual columns is set to 37,627 (I believe, it's whatever the default is). I only have 200 characters in my test data. I need to rebuild the whole dataset - this deployment has to be done by the end of the day tomorrow and I have a whole pile of other stuff left to do.
I've used this in a couple of places and it simply doesn't work. Despit the try event, VB.Net still crashes or throws up an error.

View 1 Repliesi want to ask what is the difference between oledb connection and odbc connection. I have a case, my office used ncomputing then i have to developed an application using sqlserver 2000 and vb.net 2005, i used oledb connection. When i try to implement it in ncomputing, why user must has admin access level and dbo level in sql server, it seems trouble when all users are admin. But there's a rumor that when using odbc connection, we dont need to give admin access level for users.es.

I have an application that requires data be entered, and after entering, a button is clicked to process that data. Clicking the button works just as it should--the data is processed properly. In constructing a test module, I provide a set of data values, followed by:
btnWhatever.PerformClick()
Nothing happens. I have used this syntax for years, and it has always worked flawlessly. I have triple checked everything else and isolated the problem to the failure of the PerformClick(). The PerformClick() is in a test subroutine that does nothing but fill textboxes and labels with default data, then calls the PerformClick() on the button to begin processing. Again, the button works fine, the data is entered as it should be, but the PerformClick() does not fire the click event.
This problem makes it so that when I view the data, any fields with text are blank - only integer values show.
Code:
Dim PathToCsvFiles As String = "\\umpqua\companies\shared\MLImports\"
Dim FileName As String = "Strategy.csv"
[CODE]...
Also it is pipe delimited so I have a Schema.ini
[Strategy.csv]
ColNameHeader=True
CharacterSet=ANSI
Format=Delimited(|)

View 2 RepliesA While back I developed a application that connected to Excel using DB connection. It worked fine since the application was designed for usage on one particular PC with Excel 2003. I especially liked the solution since the data retrieval was much faster compared to what I would get if I connected to Excel using Interop libraries.
However, recently when I tried to implement the same solution onto another app that would run on various PC that could use different versions of MS Office I ran into multiple problems. First of all, I can't use the same connection string on various versions. Also, the whole x64 vs x86 thing is adding to the problem.
I wonder if there is a way to check the version and use the apropriate connection string for every version?
