I have created some basic help instructions for my program. How or what should I do to present this to the user. I have a button set up for the user to click on, but what is the best way to present these help instructions to the user?
I know that on most programs that you press "F1" and the help files display in a nice form. I am not certain that mine need search capabilities since its only a couple of pages in length.
Having a slight permission problem with Win 7 I am guessing it will be the same on Vista but work fine on XP (yet to try)But my program is sitting in: C:Program FilesCompanyProgram And its trying to create new files alongside itself in the Program Files area but bombing out which I know is permissions. If I go there to create the file myself it comes up with a UAC prompt and when I hit allow it works fine but obv the program can't do that byiteslf so bombs out.Is there anyway I can over come that without the user having to grant admin rights to the program each time it starts or do I have to write data to another place?

I am currently writing a program in VB 2008. Here is what the program is intended to do: I need it to have two forms of input, so I want it to open existing text files and create new ones. Once the user has selected what input to be taken (either a file is opened or a new one is made, guessing multiple forms need to be used here) the user will then take the text file either created or opened and then be able to click a button which will sort all the text in the text file into alphabetical order and then display the results to the screen. While this happens, I need the words in the file to be counted by a counter (so a loop i guess) that then displays on which line each word appears on. I then need this information to be displayed in a text box on screen.

I do not want this. I want to put some code into my file that sais that the tlb files it needs are located in say: [code] and still have it work. again right now they all have to be in the same folder which is really bugging me.

now I cant find out how to create from all the gif files one multiGIF... it will make my day (or week now :) )
I hope this post is in the correct forum. We have a folder on the server that has pdf files. The file names are in the format of 'report_name_propname_04_21_12.pdf'. The report_name is different as is the prop_name and 04 is the month, 21 is the day of month, and the 12 is the year. The goal is to have links on the web page that has the prop_name(s). When clicked it would display a list of months as links. ie 01,02,03,...11,12 under the propname link. When these month links are clicked the web page would display
a list of links of the pdf files. The part of displaying the pdf link I have. The question I have is how can this be achived in code? Is there a control for this functionality? I think it is like an Excel pivot table.
