    MSComm Question.

    williamu - Your assumption is correct. To my knowledge you can't easily create a MSComm object at runtime using 'New'. However, you can create and destroy references to existing objects. In situations like this, I usually lump controls like this that can't be created at run-time (also Common...

    Connecting to Sybase

    I would love to grab a quick recordset and store it locally and operate on it, but i haven't found a way to do this without installing the local ultralite database on the ppc. Like I said, my data requirements are minimal. All i need to do is pull a list of names off the network server (a 2000...

    show color picker in properties window?

    Hello all. I'm a bit new to creating my own user controls, and was wondering if someone could tell me how i need to define the control properties such that at design time, my property "BackColor" can popup that little color picker like all the intrinsic controls. I have also defined...

    Can't receive from some domains

    I recently inherited a client's 2000 exchange server on a win 2000 box serving some 50 users. This thing was initially setup for internal use only. They called the domain 'DOMAIN' (clever, huh?) so they had everyone setup and running with mailboxes like frank@domain.com. Now they want to...

    Strange Problem with Buttons!!!

    Does the exit button Hide the form, or unload it? Maybe some stuff that you think is happening in the form_load event isn't firing.
  9. SIG357

    Defining path-to-files to import

    You can test to see if the file exists using the Dir() function. If it doesn't (Dir returns "") then pop open a Common Dialog Cotrol (Open File mode) style, and let the user brose for the requested file. Check back in if you need help with the syntax.

    Send Files from access with wildcards

    Right on dan. If all elise needs is the file name to look at, Dir is certainly sufficient, and probably more Efficient. THe only reason I suggested FSO was that it would allow more options in picking the files, possibly using other properties of the File object as criteria. I still can't...

    Send Files from access with wildcards

    good eye danvlas! That one slipped right by me
  12. SIG357

    Counting number of columns

    intCount = rsMyRecordset.Fields.Count
  13. SIG357

    Send Files from access with wildcards

    Maybe the .Add Method dosn't like long filenames? Try creating a temp dir and a test file, then attaching that: .Attachments.Add("C:\Test\test.txt") What email system are you using?
  14. SIG357

    Securing Website?

    1. If your db is file based (like MS Access) make sure it is not in a URL addressable area, to prevent unauthorized download. 2. Use asp to restrict access to the actual web app, i.e. if the user's not already logged in, redirect to/display login. 3. In the asp code that accesses the db, make...

    Disk Free Space Incorrect

    I have a 4GB partition on one of my servers that is reporting 3.75GB used, but when I tally up the sizes of all the main folders, they only come out to ~1.5GB. THere are a few files on the root, but nothing of substantial size. Recycle bin is empty. When I try running disk cleanup, it either...

    Windows Common Objects Library Reference

    Check the Office Object Library. Add it as a reference from the VBA editor.
  18. SIG357

    Selecting a folder thru browse?

    If you're just running locally, and have control over script security levels, you might want to look into creating a simple ActiveX control that calls the SHBrowseForFolder API function. Or you could roll your own using fso to expose the section of the file system you want to make available.

    Transparent Layer

    In thatcase, I think you're in the same boat I am. I've been looking fo a way to make the background of a progessbar transparent, but I've yet to find anything. I assume there's some obscure, roundabout way of doing it through the API, but I haven't found anything yet...
  20. SIG357

    Transparent Layer

    are you just using an image to highlight the point? VB's image control provides a transparent background, and should be able to do everything you're looking for, as long as the actual picture format supports transparency.
