Mar 28, 2012I have a small project that contains three forms. The problem is that one of the forms is on a USB flash memory device(by accident)...the project works with USB flash memory device connected. I want to move the form from flash into the project on c: drive. However i think the project file (?) may keep the original path to the form and it still looks for it. The form in question has an icon which contains an arrow (is this indicating its else where?)

View 1 RepliesPassword Protect Flash Drive In VB 2008?
Feb 8, 2010lately, ive had a lot of free time and have been trying to password protect my flash drive in VB 2008. and ive figured out almost everything i want with it, but ive come to a bit of a roadblock. as of right now, ive got 2 accounts, but thats all ive done so far, because every account has like 3 if statements, and it would start to accumulate a bit of i made anymore. so, ive been looking into using a database, and having it retrieve the password and username from there. ive searched for hours, and have found a lot of little bits and pieces of code, but nothing that would work for my situation. Will somebody tell me how i would:
1: make sure that the password and username match in the database when i click the confirm button
2: add a new username and password to a database when they want to make their own account
3: save changes to the database when i log out and move to another computer
also, is there a simple way to log the date, time, IP address, and Username, put it in a text file, and email it to me? i would also like to know how to open a flash drive using its name, and not its letter, cause its a different drive letter on different computers.

Nov 20, 2009I developed a project that uses Access 2003 db on my Vista 32 bit desktop. I recently bought a Vista 64 bit laptop and upgraded it to Windows 7.I installed Visual Studio on my laptop and Office 2003.I copied the project from my desktop to my laptop using the exact same paths. When I try to build the project on my laptop I get this error:"Unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store"So, I tried creating a simple project using an Access 2003 DB and when I try to run it I get this error:"MicroSoft.JET.OLEDB.40" Not registered on this machine".I went to the "windowsSysWOW64" folder and ran "regsvr32 msjetoledb40.dll"and it ran successfully, but it didn't solve the problem.If I use the Server Explorer in the IDE, it displays the data.

View 1 RepliesHow To Detect USB Flash Drive
Feb 27, 2007I am making a program that will allow a user to use any USB flash drive as a key, that when inserted, will automatically (upon validation, of course) enter login and password data into web forms, applications, and maybe even Windows Logon. But first things first: how to I detect when a USB key is inserted into the drive, for instance, perhaps just detect the last/latest inserted drive?
In addition, does anyone know if there is a way to directly identify a flash drive, maybe based on a serial number?, rather than validating it from a file on the device?

Mar 18, 2004I am trying to write an application which will have different functions depending on someone's security level, but my bosses have ruled out holding a users name and password information in a database due to risk of the database being hacked.So I have decided to use USB flash drives, which will have encrypted datafiles on them, and each staff member will be given one with their details pre-programmed onto them.However I am now stuck with detecting whether the device is present or not, I have thought I can continually scan the available drives and have each flash drive with a set volume label and when it arrives act upon it, but I don't want to keep continually scanning the drives, there has to be a better way than this, .
View 7 RepliesDetecting Flash Drive Mounting And Running A Program?
Aug 15, 2009I am using VB from Visual Studio.net 2008. I need to understand how to build a VBScript or Application that will detect when a flash drive is inserted into a Windows XP SP2 system. Once the drive is detected, the VBScript/App must then automatically search for any available .ppt file (power point) located in the root directory of that flash drive. If the .ppt file is found, pptview.exe will launched opening the file in question.
This script will be located in the startup folder and will run until a flash drive is entered and then it should pause until the flash drive is removed and then start searching again. This is for a kiosk to be used at trade shows for a company I am working with. The company wants this to be simple and automated and only requiring that the user setup the kiosk, which has no keyboard or mouse, plug in a flash drive with a .ppt file on it. The system will then automatically load the slideshow and play until the system is shut down or the flash drive is removed.
I am pursuing this option because an autorun.inf file on the flash drive only adds another line item to the autoplay dialog. Although it may be possible to write a small script that will select that item, there is no guarantee that the user will have that autorun.inf installed on the flash drive in question.
Also it may be better to copy the .ppt file into a temp directory on the kiosk machine, so that in the event that the flash drive needs to be removed there is not data transfer taking place, minimizing the possibility of data corruption.
Most of the file handling I may be able to handle on my own, but it is the detection of the flash drive insertion and removal that is a problem. I am looking for some clarity on this point first. I may ask other questions later, but for now that is the biggest hurdle I have to cross. [URL]..

View 7 RepliesCreating A Backup Database To A Specified USB Flash Drive (Using Serial Number).
Apr 25, 2010i have a question concering USB flash drives. I am building a Record Book with an Access 2007 database. When a user changes some information in the database i have built a procedure to create a backup of the database on a second hard drive. I was wondering if there is a way to find my USB flash drive serial number (either through coding or alternative ways) and specify that USB with that serial number as the location of the backup. As my program is at the moment, the backup is created from C to D. This can be a problem if on other computers there is no D drive or it's not a hard disk. By specifying the serial number to save the backup database to, should work on all pcs (theoretically). I am just not sure if this is possible in any way.

View 1 RepliesIDE :: Save An Already Saved Project To A Different Location?
Aug 25, 2005I downloaded a sample Project from the web. I opened the sample Project in Visual Basic 2005 Express Beta 2. After making a lot of modifications to the sample Project, I wanted to save my new project with its own different name, and in the usual directory where I have been creating other projects. I pressed Save All and accepted the default choice. Unfortunately, after pressing OK, I realized that I had saved over the original downloaded sample project, and had saved my modified project in a temp directory designed to receive downloads from the web.It's not a problem that I overwrote the original sample project, because I have already retrieved a new fresh copy from the web. Nor is it a problem that I gave it the name of the original project, because I was able to figure out how to rename the modified project by right-clicking in the Solution Explorer.
My problem is that I didn't want to save my modified project in the download temp directory. I want to save the Project (and all its associated sub-directories and files) in a directory of my own choosing (the same directory in which all my other created projects are saved). But now that I have chosen to save the project in an undesirable location, I want to re-save it somewhere else.For the life of me I can't see how to do this. The Save All command doesn't give me the choice of selecting the name or location for my project, it just updates my currently undesired location. The other two save-oriented commands under the File menu selection (Save and Save As) seem to be oriented to just saving the singular item (form code, dialog box code, module, etc) on which I am currently working. I can't find anything such as a "Save Project As" kind of command. And I don't want to try to cut and paste the whole directory, because I'm too novice to know whether I am moving everything properly with regards to what VB2005 needs to find and where it needs to find it.

Mar 17, 2009since I still use VB6 and the code is in VB8, I can't find the solution.The sub below is executed in a button's click event, and is supposed to save data to his database. It seems to work fine : you can add persons (in a separate form), and see them appear in the datagrid. You can stop the program, go back to the VB editor, and run it again (without rebuild), and the previously added persons will still be visible in the datagrid. But...If you add some persons, then go to the editor and force a rebuild (for example by adding more code), and than run the code again, the the previously added persons are gone (nomore visible in datagrid)!To me, it seems that the problem is to effectively update the database. I have searched on the internet about this topic, and I read that you must "set" the UpdateCommand.
