Next My goal is simply to search for multiple file extensions. I cant use FILE* as my search parameter as this returns other files e.g FILE2012.10z which i don't want.

Dim files As IO.FileInfo()

i want to create system that can search and open 1 excel file from multiple excel file.Since there are too many excel file, i create a database(using excel) which list all the excel file and sorting it by project name in which i want to retrieve the excel file through project name. this is the example database that i had create:

I'm using the FileSaveAs dialog control to allow the user to select a filename to save a file either as a doc file, an rtf file or a pdf file (that part was easy).However, after a bit of testing, it seems that the file extension doesn't automatically change when selecting the different file types.If the filename in the dialog is Foo.doc and I select FileType *.pdf and click "Save", my app still tries to save the file as a doc type.Virtually every other MS app automatically changes the extension to match a selected file type from the Office Suite to Paint. here's my code:
Dim dlg As New SaveFileDialog
dlg.InitialDirectory = m_sReportFolder
dlg.FileName = sProjectName & ".docx"[code]......
changing the way the site search is done from just search a phrase as one string to searching a phrase "as multiple words" search. For example, if I search "cute puppy" right now, it will search it for "cute puppy" as phrase and won't match just "cute" and "puppy". The way the search is implemented is by passing a search phrase to a Stored Procedure in SQL Server.So now, I need to change to site search so when "cute puppy" is searched, it will search two words.... "cute" and "puppy" instead of just "cute puppy". Below is how the store procedure is implemented

Im making a search function for an application and they need to be able to search by any value in the DB in any of the three tables. Im wondering the best wayto about this. 2 of the 3 tables have the same columns while the last one is totally different. Below is what I kinda "thought" itd look like but no.
"SELECT * FROM cases, opencases, staff WHERE Crime ='" & txtsearch.Text.ToString & "'"
I need to query the results the user can search for anyterm and if it matches something in the columns it return it to the user. Im wondering if the best way to go about this is to maybe query all the tables and then put all the matching records in a seperate table and the dgv look at that table or how to exactly go about it.

View 1 Repliesthe problem is I'm trying to access a file that has no file extension. I think you can see why this is so difficult. The specific file I'm trying to edit is the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts).
View 2 RepliesI get how to do it, and i have been to [URL] before. My question is about what doing that does, is it possible to reverse it? What if you do not know where your program will be, and you are just testing it for now? Is there any way for it to "find" your program, or an easy way to edit where it is opened? For that matter, is it possible to tell if the file has been associated already, is it an issue to try and reassociate? Finally, how can you set the .ico file it uses?
View 1 RepliesI am creating a program which can store files, and I display their names in a list box, with their contents in another list box.

View 7 RepliesInside the program I have a text box in which a user puts in the filepath to a textfile that the program then uses as a series of commands to perform tasks. This works perfectly, however what I would like to to do to make my program faster is associate the file extension .gam with the program, so when a user clicks a .gam file it opens the program and automatically sets said file's location into the text field, as opposed to using the browse button I added and browsing to said file everytime they run the program.
Through this a user could then make a shortcut to said .gam file and run it right from their desktop, as opposed to rummaging around in folders and whatnot. At the moment my method has been thus, I have 2 folders of importance I have archived with the .exe, Gambits Pro.exe, these are: Gambits, and Control, inside of the Gambits folder is the default storage location for .gam files, as when you click the browse button its default directory is that folder. I have also added a few example files in said folder for a user when they download the program.

Instead of creating a listbox to hold the names of one's favorites, I've made it so when you add a bookmark it adds it under the directory (yourusername)/bookmarks. (yourusername) is represented by login.usernametextbox.text. Now I've added a filelistbox to the form and want it to display the contents of the bookmarks folder only without the file name extensions. Just the title. Then when a user clicks on the title it navigates to that specified file by opening a new instance of a browser form. Here's what I have so far:
Private Sub Bookmarks_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
bmarks.Path = Login.UsernameTextBox.Text + "ookmarks"

View 2 RepliesEvery table I have has an 'UpdatedBy' field which lists the user who last made an update to the record. I need a way of searching every datatable for that username and returning the count of the rows where the LastUpdated field is equal to a parameterized username. How can this be accomplished without writing a seperate query for each datatable that does the same thing and running each query one at a time? I'm not sure if this can accomplished somehow in the dataset itself or if a SQL Function could do this.
View 2 RepliesI am doing a simple database project.I need to give the input in the database which is an access db from my input form and i have managed to do this part right.then i need to retrieve the details from the db using multiple search fields and show them in the datagrid view.I have 8 search fields(5 textboxes and 3 combo boxes). I also have included 4 other buttons which respectively clears the search boxes;clear the results of the gridview; show all results from the database;go to the input form and offcourse 1 search button.now all the buttons working fine except the search button. actually when i click on the search button if i include sql query for all the search fields only the first one works and also if i have clicked any other buttons before clicking the search button nothing happens, no result is shown and it happens the same if i search once and clicked any other buttons and come back to search, no result. I need to show the results in the gridview depending on the user input on those search criterias. user should be able to search in any combinations.I am using the below codings in my search form. the combo boxes are not bound.datagrid is bound to database though.

View 11 RepliesI am trying to search one column (Titles) of an Access database using an SQL query. The search entry comes from a split string passed to an array and inserted into the SQL command.
This works well, however, the results I get back are for entries containing EITHER of the keywords entered, not entries containing ALL keywords entered.
The code I am using is::::

The loop is working, but acting as a new search as opposed to searching the results of the previous search.
