    Locked files

    With Process Explorer I've got lots of programs running under System, but none of them are locking the files in question, only the top level System object. The files I'm looking at are jpeg images that are accessed by three programs, an old database written in Access, and new version of the...

    Locked files

    Thanks for the help, Process Explorer lists then all as open by 'System'. Anyone know if it's safe to use Process Explorer to close the file handles - or why they are open in the first place?

    Locked files

    I am experiencing an issue with what appears to be 'locked files' on my Windows 2000 server system. When I try to rename or move or get exclusive access to some files I get the error below: ‘Can not rename {file name}: it is being used by another person or program Close any programs that might...

    Dust proof / resistant cases

    Thank you all for your help. micker377: I thought about that but no luck in this case, the walls in the building are not air tight (as far as the dust is concerned their are no walls at all) and a VNC solution with a thin client is no good either as CAD tends to be more screen intensive...

    Dust proof / resistant cases

    Thanks for the responses. I think water cooling may be a little bit out of my reach right now. Also, I would think the dust would impair the water cooling as well – perhaps not as much? In all I'm kind of surprised that no one makes an 'industrial' case that is more resistant. But thanks for...

    Dust proof / resistant cases

    I currently have a number of PCs setup in a building that receives a lot of dust (it's just off the main shop so there is nothing I can do about it), I've noticed the systems I put in just a few months ago have already had issues with the grime building up inside them. I'm wondering if anyone...

    Multiple lines in crystal reports

    I'm trying to programmatically enter multiple lines of text into a crystal report’s text box with VB .Net. However, when I try to enter a line break (i.e. vbcrlf) it’s completely ignored. Anyone know how I can have multiple lines in a single text object? i.e: This is a test rather then...

    VB. net and crystal reports, inserting image from database

    I am trying to insert a jpeg image held in an Access database OLE field (embedded, not linked) into a crystal report (using the integrated IDE that came with .net 2002), however when I view the report I only get the file name of the image rather then the actual picture. Thanks for any help you...

    Thanks, looks like that was exactly what I needed, it translated into VB .net with no problems.

    Unbound text in a Crystal report

    I’m sure this is a simple question, but I’m totally lost. I have a VB .net project with a crystal report in it and I want to change the unbound text in code. I have the ClientReport object but can’t seem to change the text of any object inside it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Tab Control Events

    Anyone know of a way that I can tell when a user has clicked on a tab? I have found the 'on click' and 'mouse move' events for the tab page, but I would rather run my code when they click on the tab it's self to populate the page.

    How to control textbox input (numeric) while user types in data

    Not sure if it will do exactly what you want, but I would recommend the Visual BASIC Masked Edit Box control. You can include it into your program by going Program -> Components, then scrolling down to ‘Microsoft Masked Edit Control 6.0 (SP3)’ and selecting the checkmark next to it. One you have...

    anyone else having problems w/'spyware'?

    Sorry to say I don’t know of any way to stop spy ware before it hits, but for the aftermath cleanup I would recommend LavaSoft’s Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoft.de/ or PepiMK Software’s Spybot Search & Destroy at http://security.kolla.de/ (as mentioned above). You best chance would be to set the...

    ‘Ghosting’ video problem

    Hello, I’m having a rather odd problem with my monitor. I appear to be getting a ‘ghosting’ effect to the right side of every object on my display, an example would be my mouse curser. If I place it in the middle of my screen I can see a semi-transparent image if it a few millimeters to the...
