strongm, that sounds like it could be the answer to my problems. Thanks very much. -Max

That was the original design. The server is currently started using that exact method and runs perfectly. It took only one bad shutdown, however, for the boss to tell me that that is not enough (since the server shutdown but the pc did not). So now I have to start the damn thing manually if...

I created a winsock server in order to avoid the hassle of accounts, firewalls and dcom. The server is launched on logon having a shortcut in the "Startup" folder and has been working just fine. However, I've been ordered to "start the server when the client logs on if it is not running...

In that case, since he has to display things as the keys keys are pressed, one could try: Private Sub txtName_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) Dim pos As Integer pos = txtName.SelStart txtName.Text = StrConv(txtName.Text, vbProperCase) txtName.SelStart = pos End Sub...

You forgot to close the if statement inside Private Sub txtName_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) Dim i As Integer i = 0 Do If KeyAscii >= "a" And KeyAscii <= "z" Then If i = 0 Then UCase (Chr$(KeyAscii)) End If i = i + 1...

macleod1021: I completely agree, except that I am extremely confident in that the code does not alter or format the dates as they are saved, and so I was trying to see if anyone has encountered similar problems before I approach the boss with the problem. -Max

George, thanks for the quick reply. That's exactly what I thought so I checked the files. The files coming do all have time components, except that all the troublesome files (at least those that I saw) are 1am, not midnight. Although that does seem strange for files that have been...

synapsevampire: we cannot display the viewer's taskbar so we cannot click the cancel button. However, I tried the same report with the same parameters in Crystal Reports itself attempting to click the stop button while the report was going to the last page => the button was not even enabled so...

I found a very strange problem in a gigantic program that I have no time to analyze closely just yet. The problem lies in file dates created and modified retrieved via a file object. They are retrieved as date objects, put into date objects and saved into access as date objects (..., #" &...

snapsevampire: we realize that navigating to the last page of a report requires cr to finish first. The problem is that we need to cancel the reports processing while it is navigating to the last page. Turkbear: the page is run in a cr viewer, an activex that is distributed with VS.NET, I...

B00gyeMan, I spoke with CR tech support and was told that such a thing is impossible even with threading (as you have found out by yourself). I'm not exactly sure what can be done in this situation, but apparently stopping the viewer's cr processes is impossible. -Max

For all those interested, I just spoke with CR tech support, and they kindly informed me that stopping a report creation/navigation that results from cliking "ShowLastPage", which is what we do, is not possible. -Max

Isadore, thank you very much for all of your help. I'll give these a try and see what comes of it. Thanks again. -Max

The code initiating the report is pretty standard server side and should be running, at least at first. I'm really looking for a way to stop the report in the middle of its load server side load from the client. Thanks again Isadore.

I need to stop crystal report from loading in the crystal viewer on the web. The code running loads the report and navigates to last page (don't ask, it has to). The problem is that while I can navigate away from the page or even close the browser, crystal reports continues to run and take up...
