Thanks for all the help people! This is a great vb.net forum. -- Private Function Crop(ByVal Source As Bitmap, ByVal x As Int32, ByVal y As Int32, ByVal width As Int32, ByVal height As Int32) As Bitmap Dim Cropped As New Bitmap(width, height) Dim g As Graphics =...

Hey people, I'm pulling my hair out, I can't figure out how to crop an image to a simple retangle size. I've got an image, set it to a graphics object and set a retangle to that, but can't see what to do after :(

Hi thanks a lot. When trying to set the reg_dword to 0 or 1 I am baffled! Temp = SaveRegString(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer", _ "ForceActiveDesktopOn", &H0, True) Instead of giving me 1 it gives me 0x00000030 (48) I'm...

Okay I fixed the problem, u need to set the value of the new key immediately after. I need to set the new key to a value of either 1 or 0 in hex (type REG_DWORD) but dunno how to do it, the registry keeps saying invalid dword value.

Hi, I'm creating a new key with this code: Public Function CreateNewKey(sNewKeyName As String, lPredefinedKey As Long) Dim hNewKey As Long 'handle to the new key Dim lRetVal As Long 'result of the RegCreateKeyEx function lRetVal = RegCreateKeyEx( _ lPredefinedKey, _...

Is it possible to have the background of my rich text box as an image? So when users type over it, the text writes over the image.

Ah I think I found my answer in.. thread222-552224

Could someone kindly point me in the direction on how to accomplish this? I've been searching and found little, perhaps there are many ways, would one of them be to find keys and edit the the registry? Is there an easier way?

Thanks so much hookbob. I just ended up using a DSN-less connection. I provided a form to the user to specify where the mdb was located (and the mail merge .doc's). All works lovely :) Got it printing labels on avery paper nicely too.

Or you could run an SMTP server off your machine. Or access an external SMTP directly from VB.

Do you mean print all the rows contained in a table in Access? You'll need to pull all the data off the db and whack it on a report (datareports will suffice), then printing the report is easy. Look up in msdn for visual basic - creating a simple data report

CCLINT, I format all dates in dd/mm/yy format. When I queried dates which "could" be mistaken for mm/dd/yy it did, for dates that couldn't be mistaken eg. 13/12/99, it was fine. Anyway I don't trust Access, I'm sticking to dd-mmm-yy. It once confused two text fields on an Access Form...

I changed all my date fields in the database to dd-mmm-yy and it fixed the problem. Access sux :)

Hi, short date formate in Access implies dd/mm/yyyy

Hi, have a look at this: SELECT id FROM client WHERE existing_exists='no' AND (personal_date BETWEEN #02/06/2003# AND #02/06/2003#) This comes up with nothing even tho there is an entry with 02/06/2003 in it! If I push 02 to 06 in the query string, it picks it up, I'm confused! I've set text...

It seems only Word 2002 (XP) allows u to choose the datasource as ODBC as an option.. Has anyone here figured out how to use ODBC with say Word 2000 or 97? Otherwise I guess I'm going to have to use a direct link to the mdb file.

Ah no, as usual I'm being impatient. Here's the answer Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 285332 HOWTO: Automate Word 2002 with Visual Basic to Create a Mail Merge http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=285332 Under title &quot;Using ODBC&quot; :)

I've noticed you have to set Word's datasource property for it to accomplish a mail merge, but my VB application is connecting to an MDB using ODBC, as such it has no clue where the MDB file is (it'll be somewhere on the LAN). Isn't it possible to do a mail merge by applying an ADO connection...
