    Is it possible to Group in a Dataview?

    I am trying utilize a dataview object to group a column of data together. Is this possible. Here is what I am after (easier to show it than to explain it) Item |--Group 1 --------||------Group 2---------------| Label |-A-||-B-||-C-||-D-||-A-||-B-||-C-||-D-||-E-||-F-|...

    Determine Table Size?

    DrSimon, you are correct I am a chemist and biochemist both, by education, but make my living programming and doing it (better pay, and I have 20+ years experience at it so the degree doesn't matter that much) As far as your question about archiving, yes data can be archived, and is on a...

    Determine Table Size?

    DrSimon you have hit the nail on the head. The reason I am trying to figure out which tables are which size is to know whether I will have say 2 tables that are 400 mg apiece and then would defeat the purpose of splitting them apart to into one table even if they logically go there. Just trying...

    Determine Table Size?

    Thanks for the information. I think with the combined ideas I might be able to figure something out. You are right I should be able to loop through each table and export it to a new file and then look at each file size and use that for my decisions. I don't mind then going back and splitting...

    Determine Table Size?

    I have read a few times that people have asked this question but it always seems to degress into a simple question of "WHY WOULD YOU WANT THIS INFORMATION?" I have a valid reason. I am trying to find out how large each table in my database is so that I can decide how to split the back end...

    Can resolve Domain Name but Ping times out

    I have a problem that started a few months ago. Basically have several domains (i.e. aol.com, etc) that I can not reach. When I go to ping them the DNS resolves the domain name to the ip address, but then the ping times out. I started noticing this problem when I had users sending email to...

    Err 2114 Loading Images?

    Kind of, I upgraded the users operating system from Win98 to WinXP. For some reason the problem went away after that. [ponder]

    Sub --> Sub Report Field not Showing up?

    I have a VERY complex report. It works fine 99.9% of the time; however every one in a while I will have a field simply not show up on the complete report. Basically I have A) A Main report with 8 Sub Sections on it (each one is a sub report) B) In each sub Report there are at least 8...

    Rich text box rulers AKA Word Style

    This is a good idea. I will have to play with it a little and see how it corresponds to the printed document, but it is by far the best idea I have come across yet. Thanks

    Rich text box rulers AKA Word Style

    That is correct. The problem comes in that they can adjust that space, and it makes it impossible to preset the size of the rich text box. So I was thinking I could handle it similar to word by showing a ruler on the top, and on the side so that they would know when they are changing pages as...

    Rich text box rulers AKA Word Style

    The Rich Text box is resizeable already, that is part of the problem. For example say a user has a page something like this. |------------------| (a + B) A = ----- (c + d) but when the report prints it the word wrap end up like this |--------------|...

    Rich text box rulers AKA Word Style

    I am trying to build a means of puting rulers (or possibly limiting the width) on top and sides of a rich text box, like word, works, word perfect, etc have. Basically I am building an app that a user types part of a report into a rich text box, and then generates it as a report via Crystal...

    NumericUpDown Control and Thousands Separtor

    Thanks for the help. That worked great, and in combination with a little bit of text selection code, I find very little problems with it. Have a star.

    Good VB.NET Books?

    Personally I like Mastering VB .NET published by Sybex. It covered most topics enough to become familiar with the differences and advantages of VB .NET (especially coming from VB 6 and Access VBA) while not become so in depth that it lost me.

    NumericUpDown Control and Thousands Separtor

    I have a numericupdown control on a form. It has the thousands separtor set to true (Since some value can be in millions, it is MUCH easy to view) On the lower values the control works fine obivously in the values that a user would use the up/down arrows to move to (say 20) the comma doesn't...

    Why is the modified date not changing?

    I have noticed this as well, but is it possible to patch this behavior? I have several projects that have similar names (AB12CD34EF56, AB12CD35EF56, AB22CD34EF56, etc) and was used to using the date to sort out which was which. Unfortuneatly I have no control over what the projects are named...

    Start vs Shell

    Can anybody tell the the advantages of using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.google.com") vs Shell("cmd /c ""start http://www.google.com""") to start a browser. Obviously from a customer end, it looks cleaner to use the start since you don't get the extra cmd window pop up and...
