I am looking for some code that will allow me to set field properties of fields in a table I have just created in code using vb.net (2005). I have seen a number of articles to do this in vb6 but not vb.net.
View 2 Repliesi am using vb.net 2005 and ms access, i have a column called accountnumber in ms access. i want to enter 14 digit number in that column, i am confused to choose which data type, because longint cannot accept more than -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.

I am building a data based application using VB 2008 an SQL Express. I need to create textboxes on my form using code, (With & End With) method. I need a simple code string that will allow the app to check if the field to wich the textbox wil be databound is Nul, If so the textbox will not be created.
View 8 RepliesAs you can see below in the code the " & tblName & " will work fine but instead of using the BankName (which the user cannot change because it is in the code) I would like to do the same as I did with the Table name and use a variable that gets its name from an excel spreadsheet rather that an actual name hard coded in a VBA module. I would like the variable field name entered in the Excel Spreadsheet by the user just like the table name is filled in by the user. The problem is getting the ADO SQL string ( cmd.CommandText = "ALTER TABLE " & tblName & " Add Column BankName Char(25)" ) to recognize that the value in the Variable " & fldName & " is the field name to be used.
Sub AddFieldToAccess()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command

'If I do this I end up with a field named BankName what I need is the name in the variable " & fldName & "
cmd.CommandText = "ALTER TABLE " & tblName & " Add Column BankName Char(25)"

Set cmd = Nothing

View 2 RepliesI am trying to edit a dbf table. I would like to be able to rename field headings and change the field type, ie string or dbl, and the size of the field. is this possible to do with vb.net. I have connected to the dbf file but after that am lost on what to do.
View 3 RepliesI am creating a database in VB.NET for a movie rental place. I currently have three forms;
Member Information
DVD Information
Borrow DVDs
What I would like to do is when I am viewing a member's details, if I click a button 'Borrow DVD for Member', the member's ID number transfers over to the Borrow DVDs table in the Member ID which also would hold some information from the DVD Information table, but I'm sure if i can figure out how to do this firstly, I will be able to apply the same rule and work it out myself.I have been trying to use a query statement like;
INSERT INTO [Borrow DVDs].[Member ID] [IN goodstuffvideos.mdb]
SELECT [Member Information].[Member ID]
FROM [Member Information]
but that has been coming up with error codes and completely not working.
Borrow DVDs table fields are: Borrow ID, Member ID, DVD ID Number, Hiring Fee, Borrowing Limit?
DVD Information table fields are: DVD ID Number, Title, Rating, Hiring Fee, Borrowing Limit Member?
Information table fields are: Member ID, Family Name, Given Name, Address, Town/Suburb, Postcode?
The error coming up is; Error in INSERT statement. Unable to parse query text.And under that it says The query cannot be represented graphically in the Diagram and Criteria Pane.

I have a combo box on my application (working with VB.net) called CmbAttendantstatus. I have sent the dropdownstyle = dropdownlist at the Properties level of the combobox.
There are 200 field types e.g;
Current Attendant
Ever Attendant
Never Attendant etc
The issue is I can only select one from the list, fine, but I want to be able to type the first letter on the combobox and it takes me to the nearest field type rather than looking through the entire drop list. For example I want Never Attendant, I just need to type N and the drop list takes me to anything starting from N and if I add E for example any field starting with NE shows up for selection. Presently, when the dropdownlist is selected you are not allowed to type anything...

I have a table and I want to select a field in it and then display it in a text box
something like:
SELECT userName
FROM userTable
WHERE (userLogged = 'ON')
how can I display the selected username in a textbox?
BTW the userLogged indicates wether the user is logged in or not
if the user is logged in then the userLogged will be changed to "ON"
if the user is not logged in it will be "OFF"
I know it's not that practical but I'm still practicing.
