    Auto Hibernate Function, how to??

    Hello everyone. I am looking to develop a database solution in VB .NET. I need to create an autohibernate function. This function will send the application to the system tray (I have already developed this bit), when the database has remained untouched for a specified period of time. I need...

    When is the CD is ejected

    I understand, but instead of incorporating ActiveX functionality why not use callback methods instead, in order to minimize the number of dlls/ocx's loaded. It could also be that both ActiveX and Callbacks are equal options. Its just that I'm getting more into using the API functions that I...

    When is the CD is ejected

    Thanks CCLint (I have heard that phrase before, unix??) Anyway, Will test your idea. I understand what to do and forsee that this should work in theory. Wouldn't it be good if VB provided a method to do this without reverting to ActiveX? Doesn't C++ resolve this issue without dll's? Nick...

    When is the CD is ejected

    Thanks BB, but this would probably exist in an If statement. This isn't what I am looking for, precisely although It does interest me. I am looking for an entry point in code which is executed when the user physically presses eject on the CD casing. Cheers, Nick. Dont be small. be BIG

    Identify file type from contents

    Hi. Can you post the first couple of lines? It is not feasible in my experience to just know what type it is without seeing the first couple of lines. What is the extension that they changed it to? There is a webpage out there that gives a list of file types - http://filext.com/ - you could...

    Hello. I am currently trying some code in VB using DX8.1. I have created a class module "Sprite", and "Sprites" as the container module. In "Sprites" I have a sub called DrawSprite (see below) which takes the data from the sprite to be displayed and displays it...

    Access XP Worst Yet

    OK, OK, so I was a little rash, but I still hold my ground on the search mechanism. The problem was resolved. It was rubbish data that caused the problem. However, I must point out a few other important things : * If you create a listbox in a form (details section), and populate it with...

    Access XP Worst Yet

    Thanks for the help, but the . operator is used to expose properties rather than embedded controls, so that doesn't work. Another thing that I don't understand about Microsoft is .. when it works, they change it .. why?? Eg. The search mechanism in Access 97 is really good and provides mostly...

    Access XP Worst Yet

    Hi. I have Access XP (SR-2), and it stinks. I have created a report. This report has a recordsource. The recordsource has a reference to a control on a open form. Whatever the value of the control, the recordsource still recieves Null. Heres the SQL: SELECT * FROM NEWLTT_FULLPROP...

    Unbound Object Frame

    WORD OLE INTEGRATION

    Hi Ormsk, Thanks for the code, but I feel that setting bookmarks in the word document would be too much trouble both for me and for the users, in the long run. I am hoping that somebody has faced this problem themselves and resolved it. I need for the users to just be able to type in a...

    Automate a "Sendobject" maco

    Hi Macky. OK, here is what you do. For the example, I will assume that your database is in : \\myserver\mackydb$\mydb\mydb.mdb If you have a home directory (that is backed up nightly), this is the best place for the batch file. Lets say this directory (using for the example) ...

    Automate a "Sendobject" maco

    Not that I know, the macro is dependant only on the access application itself, and the command is interpreted through the dos interpreter, so it would not be a problem. Try a test - write a macro that inserts a value and a timestamp into a temporary table, and set up a scheduled task to execute...

    Aged analysis in a query, grouping sums.

    Hi Egglar, Can you post the table descriptions for us, the sql is a little too tricky if we dont know what the table layout is. This will allow us to replicate the problem. It seems like you've gotten yourself in a little muddle : eg. Customer -------- Customer ID...
