    So how do we do this?

    Sheridan Data Widgets

    Well I don't have an installation file and a quick look at the files shows that it appears that I have everything else needed to run except the .300 file. The .lic file is the license.... you wouldn't need that if the company sent you a new one right? I have folders that contain all the...

    how do I dump an access 2000 database to .csv in vb6?

    Here is the code that I use for access 97. I actually got the code (if I remember correctly) off this site and modified it to work with my app. This portion of the code opens the db, and exports it to a .csv format (with a .dat extension)...

    how do I dump an access 2000 database to .csv in vb6?

    I have no problem with dumping a database from access 97 to a csv file, however I can't find a definitive answer to do this with an access 2000 (or higher) database programmatically from within vb6. The code I was given produces an error 3197 (possibly a corrupt database, I don't know yet) Can...

    I have one more little question; Above, you said; -----------begin quote------ Your general workflow would be something like this... Download ALL pertinent macros to the printer. You could put them all into a single file if need be. You probably want to make them permanent. Now your...

    Duly noted. And I can't thank you enough for your wonderful and insightful assistance. I'll get my hands on a PCL5 ref. manual asap. I was gingerly snooping around and found this: http://docs.huihoo.com/help-pc/hw-Laserjet.html And although I'm not a complete dunce, this might be a...

    Lost in space AGAIN

    I figured out part of it... the version of VB that I'm using won't let me bypass the windows drivers (easily). Once I tested it out in a different version, I was able to successfully print out the overlay. However, the printer still thinks it's a duplex job... prints only one-sided but still...

    GREAT!.... got the form to print out by copying the two *.prn files! And yes, the panels get filled with data... Which is now the problem... If I copy the overlay to the printer (and there are 2 forms) as permanent macro #1 and macro #2, shouldn't I be able in my application to simply "print...

    Just uploaded the PCL5c driver version... it is different than the PCL6 version, however I still have the same results.

    PCL6 driver.... I'll immediatley install a pcl5 driver and give it a try. In the meantime, i've upload the form to this link: http://dkusa.com/eng02.prn take a look at it and let me know when you get it (so I can delete it and recover the space) BTW, Thanks for your patience, I appreciate...

    Yep.Lights blinked & panel read; "Processing Job" doesn't appear that the macro is permanent... used "ovl.exe" to create the overlay from a corel draw file and the last line (after the escape char.) is: &f1s1x10x4X does this need to be changed to read: &fNy10X

    PARTIAL SUCCESS! Sent it as: copy /b file.prn \\cmscomp\laserjet from the DOS prompt and didn't get an error and got a "1 file copied" message... but didn't get the desired overlay either. The PRN overlay file is approx. 838k and I don't know if it was there and wiped out when the compiled...

    I did that and got the error message. But since the printer isn't connected to a computer, what in your example,would be the "computername"? I did this: copy /b file.prn \\192.168.1.102\LaserJet And got the error message when it was shared as "LaserJet" Do I need to swap around the IP and...

    At the time, it actually wasn't shared anywhere. I (now realizing how dumb I was) simply shared it on the same machine I'm sending from. (as Homer would say; "Doh!") However, I guess my point is that the printer is not directly connected to any of the computers and is therefore not necessarily...

    It is simply the default printer named as "LaserJet 5500 PCL 6" Since it is the default printer, I simply issue a; printer.print "yadda, yadda" command from VB.

    Well, the printer sits on the network alone - not connected to a printserver or computer. It is connected only to the router the same as all the other computers. Here's what I've got (except with about 6 more computers); comp ======\ \ comp =======---- [Router] /...

    Thanks Jim, but I'm not sure that I'm getting it all.... the printer is on a tcip port and share named "LaserJet" so the command I attempted to send (through the DOS window) was: copy /b file.prn \\192.168.1.102\Laserjet What I got back was an error message that; "Windows cannot find the...

    Okay, here's the scoop and I'll leave it to all you experienced folks to help me out: #1. using an HP5500dn networked printer (PCL6) #2. need to store a *.prn overlay macro on the printer. I have the *.prn file, but not sure how to store it on the printer since it's a network and not a direct...
