    Looking for a method to display a one year calendar driven by defaults and user input

    I have accomplished this using MS Access with a form and subform. Subform used for each individual month. But I have no idea how to do this in VB.net. I have written a couple of very simple programs in VB.net, but nothing that would give me a clue on how to incorporate 12 "items" (like the...

    Michael and PHV, THANK YOU!, THANK YOU!, THANK YOU!!!!! Michael, I don't know what did not work for you in your test with my code, but right now that is not important to me because it is working for me. PHV, Your code sample is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I tried to find information...

    How to replace variable placeholder in Word doc with variable text

    Actually I came here for some help with a VBA problem, and what I have found is advice on how I should have designed the system so I would not need VBA help with this one thing. No telling where else I would have run into a different VBA coding situation that I would have needed help with. Why...

    How to replace variable placeholder in Word doc with variable text

    I have this thing 99% complete, or I can do it your way and be back to 55 - 60 % complete. Not what I want to do on a fixed price contract. I was VERY clear in my original post as to what I was looking for. And asking for how I should have done this in the first place was not what I was...

    How to replace variable placeholder in Word doc with variable text

    I did find something that helped, and have put 2 and 2 together and here is the code I came up with: ActiveDocument.Select Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "{mfld" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue...

    How to replace variable placeholder in Word doc with variable text

    To quote myself: "ps: I do not want to use Word fields as that would be more difficult for my users to define these documents in the first place."

    Need to run a bat script as a user.

    What is the OS you are dealing with? I'm assuming Access is the database, what version of Access? Could you post the Batch script?

    How to replace variable placeholder in Word doc with variable text

    I have multiple variable placeholders in a Word document that need to be replaced with variable information from an Access table. My Word document defines these variable placeholders with this syntax: "{mfld...}" The {mfld signifies the start of the variable placeholder, and the } signifies the...

    Simple/Basic RTF Editor

    Hugh, I found this site: http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/UploadFile/scottlysle/WordProcessor09122006234320PM/WordProcessor.aspx which seems to be a tutorial for how to do exactly what I'm looking for. I'll be working on it this weekend. Thanks for your help! Vic

    Simple/Basic RTF Editor

    Yes, this one looks like a good one. What I'm really looking for is something like this product (Angel Writer) that I can embed into my application, rather than being a stand-alone like Angel Writer. But this is a really good start. Thanks! Vic

    Process single characters from a Word document

    NYMarsh, This is what I have so far, but have not been able to work on it for a while. Hope to get back to it next week, but never know. For Each pRange In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges ' Do With pRange.Find ' to ensure that unwanted formats aren't included as criteria...

    Process single characters from a Word document

    macropod, I have been looking around for over 4 or 5 hours now using Google to find what I can, but mostly no luck. Generally, when one knows what the actual words are, then help can be found, but when one only knows what is needed to be done, but not the correct words to use, that is when it...

    Process single characters from a Word document

    macropod, Again, thanks for the code. But as usual, I need more. Two things: 1. Where can I find some documentation with decent examples (read "not microsoft") as how to work with ranges and/or selections. And, .Find and Replace too. I know Access VBA very well, but when it comes to...

    Process single characters from a Word document

    I have a need to examine each character in a Word document, and then, depending on the context, remove a group of characters, change the formatting of the character or group of characters. But I'm not sure what the objects are to work my way through all the characters in a document. The code...

    Yes, that works! Thank you very much! Now, any idea why the function I was trying would not work? Do you see anything that I could change so it would work?

    How To Read a Value From Windows Registry?

    OK, I've looked at the link and found this piece of code that looks like it is to be used to read registry key values using WMI:const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001 strComputer = "." Set oReg=GetObject( _ "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_ strComputer &...

    How To Read a Value From Windows Registry?

    PHV, Thanks for the quick response. I've read through that link to Microsoft.com but have not found any reference in there about what values are to go into the parameters of the function I'm trying to use. I also do not see any reference to what to put into the parameters of the functions...

    How To Read a Value From Windows Registry?

    I am trying to read a certain entry from the windows registry, but not having much luck. I have found a VB routine to read the entry, but I have not been able to find EXACTLY what entries to make in the parameters in order to get this routine to return the value from the registry. The VB...
