Is it possible to pass data between a MODULE in Access and a VB2008 app?
To be more specific, suppose a VB app calls a MODULE in a access DB and the job of the module is to count the number of records that have "Joe" in a column. I know this can be done with a SELECT within the bindingsource BUT in some instances, it is much faster to pass the task to Access and return the result.
So - can an Access MODULE RETURN a value back to a VB app?
I am writing a POS application using vb.net 2003 and need to print 3 or 4 lines of information (complete with formatting instructions) to an attached parallel printer. Here are the specifics:
1.Printer is a Practictical Automation CLTX2003 parallel thermal printer
2.Formatting instructions accomplished using Friendly Ghost Language (FGL)
3.No dialog boxes should open for user confirmation or input
4.Would prefer to print each line (with its formating instructions) directly to the printer
I have a program that we converted to vs 2010. When then moved it to the users computer and they only have Excel 2003 on their station. How can we tell the excel reference to use 2003 (version 11) instead of 2007 (version 12). The program now is looking for 2007 version 12.

View 7 RepliesI've tried hiding one tabpage in the form and it was somehow successful. However, it was not the one i'm planning to do with my program. I don't know if there exists any code that could make the tabpages(two actually) automatically hide when the form loads and would only be visible after some passing some conditions.

View 3 Replies working on an application which performs a set of operations on Active Directory based on an op code.The application was developed long back and has been working fine. I recently made few changes, which is causing the Server to run out of memory whenever the program is being run. I also modified the code to make sure that the variables being declared in each function are set to "Nothing" at the end of function so that the memory can be collected by garbage collector. To make sure, I'm also forcing garbage collection to take place at different parts of the program. But, I still continue to have the issue. The program is very big and hence I could not upload it.
The code retrieves a list of rows from a table with opcodes in it and based on operation code, it performs a set of tasks. The problem is that when it loops through each row in the table, the size of memory required by the program keeps increasing (> 1 GB) to the point where the Server (Windows 2003) is crashing. I have tried different profiling tools, but none of them have been able to detect any memory leaks in the program. I'm guessing that the resources are being held up and hence causing this issue.
I can launch a program from inside my program and embedded it in my program using a Visual Basic Control such as a Panel. That works well if you launch say NotePad or Calculator.However, If I want to launch a program that uses MULTIPLE forms... all that gets embedded is the Main Form... All the other forms are floating on the desktop nonconstrained... So If I minimize my program the other forms are still shown.So what I am attempting to do is to get ALL the Forms from the external program embedded into their own objects on my form.Have pieced together a program from a couple of program samples that I have seen across the internet... Here's the code so far:[code]The Main form for the program that I am attempting to embed is 384 x 347 in size.Panel1 is a Panel Control on my Main Form."MyProgram.exe" is a program that I have written myself.I have looked at Spy++ for Visual Studio 2003 and it is able to identify ALL the forms from my program.My question is how do I embed ALL the forms from my external program in the NEW Program?
View 8 RepliesI have a program written in VB.net 2003 that are folks run under alternate credentials. Inside the app there is an option to open a UNC path to a network share. We were running Windows XP SP3 and IE6. The code is simple just a call to the explorer.exe with /root,\UNCPath. After installing IE 8 onto the machine this no longer works. Best I can tell the code is still working but now being executed in non interactive mode so nothing opens up. You can however see a new spawned explorer.exe running under the system account for each attempt at opening a UNC Path. Any ideas what IE8 could have done to cause this behavior?

Recently, some new machines on the .NET framework 3.5 have been having unrelated issues with our runtime.This has forced us to port our code path from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2008. Since that time the hash produced by the code is different than the values in the database.The original call to the function posted in code is:

I wrote an application in VB.NET 2003 and would like to upgrade and use VB.NET 2008. Is there anything I should know before hand when converting my application from 2003 to 2008? Didn't know if it was like converting a VB 6.0 application to VB.NET.

View 22 RepliesI am NOT allowed to install into Windows Server GAC. I am allowed to upload my program files to a shared drive, not the operating system drive.To begin, I created a simple Class Library .dll and uploaded the entire project folder to the shared drive. I have absolute permission to do anything with this drive and the computer. This class library has only (1) public property.I created a client exe. with a reference to the shared drive .dll. I do not want a local copy of the .dll into my client folder. I want all clients to use this shared copy on my shared drive. And I repeat, I do not want to install into the GAC. I also have full permissions on my terminal.I have created a key file (.snk) for my .dll, and set up assembly information (public id) and tested.I have tried without key(.snk file), and removed assembly information, and tested.Can someone point me into the direction to install/or not to install a MyClass.dll on a shared driveand be able to reference it from other applications?I do not want to use ASP.NET. This is just a base class. This is not a Web service. It seems Windows server 2003 wants this installed into the GAC (C:WindowsAssembly)I have to be missing something.

In VB, under Data Sources, I set five to textbox and the last two to linklabel. I then dragged each to my form. When I run the program, everything works, navigation and data displayed. However, I have not been able to figure out how to have the URL and Map (linklabels) when clicked to open into a browser. I have found many sites on the web that gives me example code to hard code one specific linklabel to be presented as a hyperlink, but have not found a solution to making a linklabel a hyperlink when the data is filled from an Access database. I am also trying to figure out how to mask the data. For example, I want URL [URL] to display as Homepage, and [URL]to display as Directions.
I am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?

I am working on a VS .NET 2008 windows service for 2003, however it doesn�t appear to work correctly.I am basically reading a file from a networked computer and trying to display it�s content, the code is as follows:
Code:
Public Class LB_Analyzer
Private WithEvents Timer1 As New System.Timers.Timer
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
[code]....
Now, everytime I run this service it logs the events inside the "GetMachineVol" function, but I never get to the ""Ticked at "" event log from the "main" sub, pretty much as if the service stopped working after trying to assign the value returned from "GetMachineVol" to the string "MachineVolBSFull". I tried using this code on a windows form and everything works fine, and since debugging a service is quite beyond my skills, I really do not know what could be wrong.
I have a form and some controls as dropdown and textboxes..
The situation is that when the form loads, i want the value in textbox to be incremented, everytime it loads..
This is something i tried.. I get the value '1' everytime !! It shows no sign of increment..
However, i also want it in the format 0001,0002 if possible..I tried something like this..
Private Sub Order_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
textBox1.ReadOnly = True
