I know how to write and read files but I can't seem to add 1 to an existing file.
This file currently contains "10" but when I click a button I want it to +1 to that number.
I've tried a.WriteLine(+= 1) but it gives me an Expression Expected erorr which I don't get how to fix or what's wrong with it.
If anyone can help me fix or give another code that +1 to the existing numbere.
I have a workbook (Workbook1) that runs through some steps using visual basic, which ends up opening another workbook Workbook2). Once Workbook 2 is opened, I need to copy a section of data from it, into Workbook1 int a specific worksheet. I was able to do this by recording a macro, but the challange is, the name of Workbook 1, and Workbook 2, will vary by User. When I created the macro it uses the files as they are currently named. The section of code is below.

View 6 RepliesIm creating a login system that allows staff to clock in using a 5 digit code. Staff members can also use the "add an employee" function to add a new employee to the Random File.The problem is, everytime i try to create a new employee and hit the save button, the new record writes over the existing records, one by one, everytime the programme is stopped and started up again.
My Question is: How can i get the new record to be saved, without deleting existing records,
Here is the save buttons click method:FileOpen(fileNumber, "C:employee.dat", OpenMode.Random, OpenAccess.Write) 'open the file with Write Access
myEmployee.name = txtNewName.Text 'adds the name
myEmployee.id = txtNewID.Text 'adds the ID
FilePut(fileNumber, myEmployee, n) 'save to the file
FileClose(fileNumber)

Below is a link to a small zip file with an existing VB (2005 I think) program. [URL] This programs detects if the OS is Locked. I want to make a small edit, and have found the required code for the edit, but I have been unsuccessful at attempting to implement the code. As I said this program only detects windows locks and unlocks. What I want to do, is set it to run an exe when I lock my computer. Doesn't matter what the exe is, just a very basic program.
I however have not been able to find where I need to insert this code. The zip file contains about 6-8 files, I thought I found the if statement where I needed to drop the code but even when I added it to every if that seemed probably I couldn't get any result. what if statement the code I need to add should go into. honestly all I need, I can handle the code past finding that.
I want to open an existing VB class file, add a few properties and close it again.
Simple enough, I thought: Take the CodeDom, a VBCodeProvider, parse the code (using the Parse-method), then identify the location where I want my stuff added (doubtless using some nifty LINQ expressions), add a bit of code and then have it generated and here we go.
Now I see that Microsoft apparently added the Parse method only for the fun of it but never implemented it.
What's the story here? Can I only generate code from scratch? Is it not possible to load existing code?
I'm creating an app that will be run via scheduled task, it will save an XLS file with the following naming convention:'S14-PROORDEREXP-Thursday' (the Thursday will change depending on what day of the week it is)I have the following line of code to save this excel file:
VB
If gstrJob = "S11" Then
xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(gstrFilePathS11 & gstrFileNameS11 & gstrFileTypeS11)
Else
[code].....
this will work fine the first time this scheduled task runs and there are no existing files but at the end of 1 week when I will be overwriting the existing files, how do I tell the application to overwrite the existing files without waiting on a yes prompt from me which it does in debug mode?
I have a series of .DAT files I need to read into vb.net and then parse the data into a format that can be easily read into an SQL database that already exists. Would I be using a StreamReader object? Or is there a different way to go about this?

I want to use my word add in to open an existing file, the code is:
currentDoc = app.Documents.Open(currentFile)
where currentFile is a string containing the path to the file I want to open, when ever this code runs, there are no errors, but I also cannot see the document
edit: the program first closes the 'currentFile', adds something to the package, then tries to open it again with the line above, when it closes the document the word application stays open with no document in it, but when it opens it again it is not seen in the application, but the document is open
What is the simplest way to check for an existing file. Every method shown to me in my text and the information gained from the Visual Studio help doesn't seem to work. Each one of them tells me the syntax is wrong. I just want a simple way to check for an existing text file that is in the defualt file location.MSDN told me to use FileSystem.FileExists(file) - VS would not take this and...My text Tony Gaddis (VB 2008) shows:
If File.Exists(FileName) Then
open file...

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to figure out what would be the easier method for what I'm trying to accomplish. What I have is in, on the main form, a datagridview that is bound to an xls file. I then have another form that the user can import/paste data to another dgv. This content then needs to be appended to the end of the main form's dgv. Would it be easier to add it straight to the dgv and then save it to the excel file or save it to the excel file and reload the dgv? Or does it matter? I'm not exactly sure how to do either method but I figured I would start here.
