would i store a currency value as a decimal, single or double? thanks! Kevin

Thank you... the actual problem was that I had several errors that I hadn't noticed... I had made regions and had them closed. When I fixed the errors, all went back to normal... thanks for your help... duh, I write code! kevin

I dont know if that what this function of the IDE is called "autocomplete"... Used to, when I typed a variable in lowercase the program would automatically change the capitalization to reflect what was declared. This has stoped working. When I type a key word- it capitalizes the right...

The database would reside on a laptop, that could walk away. I don't think the client has considered this scenario, but I thought of it the other night and decided to do something about it on my own if the solution was simple and "free". Kevin Howell

Thank you, that was exactally the direction I was needing to be pushed... Kevin Howell

I want to have a listbox or checklist box that contain mutiple columns of data populated by data from a DataReader. I would like the data to be presented something like: 12/12/04 (row 0 col 0); $250.00 (row 0 col 1) 12/13/04 (row 1 col 0); $500.00 (row 1 col 1) and so on.. I think I...

I have 2 functions that make entries "SQL" safe. They add or replace SQL unsafe charactors like "," with "~,~". My problem is that when I bind a dataset to a control, I have no way to remove the "~" charactors where present. I am creating a dataSet from an Access datastore from a query that...

Uh.... boy, am I a big dummy... Yes, Christiaan you were right... I forgot that I genaricized the code snippet and that wasn't the name of the acutal MDI form... Only after fooling around with it for several minutes did I realize my mistake... <BLUSH> errrr... I'd give you 2 stars if I...

Thank you but the line dim mdiForm as mdi_parent gives me an error that mdi_parent isn't defined. Surely there must be an easy way to do this wouldn't you think?? Kevin

Is there anything nifty like asp.net's required field validator in vb.net? I don't seem to find reference to it. Thanks! Kevin Howell

How do you reference a control on another form? I would like to unhide and increment a progress bar on the MDI parent from an MDI child. I have tried (from the mdi_child): dim mdiForm as mdi_parent mdiForm.ProgressBar.Visible = True and so on... but this doens't seem to work I have tried...

Thank you for your reply. I am have gotten around the problem, albiet inelegantly, buy using "left" and "len" to strip the "/bin" As I understand what you are saying, when a user installes this on his system, this solution will break. Please explain what a "compile time constant" is and how...

I read the thread796-774766 that said that "comboName.Items.Insert(0,"Select")" would insert a "default" item at the top of the box. Also in this thread, it mentioned that the insert must take place after the binding. I'll be darned if I can get it to work. My code is: Public Function...

In asp.net, you can set up a DSNless connection by using the server.mappath method... ie. DSN= DSN & Server.MapPath("data\rio.mdb") In vb.net, I can't seem to find a simple way to get the root path of the application. I've tried application.startupPath, but I get the "/bin" directory, not...

I have a dataset that is populating a combobox with the "DataSource", "ValueMember" and "DisplayMember" properties of the combo box. I want to concancate (sp?) the values from two cells in a row to fill the "DisplayMember" property. My code: comboBox.DataSource = dataSet.Tables("tblCity")...

If I have an MDI parent form and run procedures from another class (say cls_db) that fills public datasets with a public dataadapter that are declared in the form initalization, would these objects (datasets and dataadapter) remain available to me until the form is closed? Secondly, if I wrote...

Does the update, insert and delete actions apply to the underlying datastore or just to the DataAdapter? If it doesn't work on the datastore, how do you then update, insert or delete the source data? Thanks! Kevin Howell

Please enlighten me to the advantages of one over the other. I understand that one is direct and one is disconnected. For a non-networked desktop application, shouldn't the simplicity of a direct access weigh heavily in favor of it? Or am I missing the point altogether. Thanks in advance Kevin...

If I declare something "Public Shared" in a class, once initialized it holds the data until when? The class is destroyed? Suppose I wanted to initalize a Public Shared variable in a MDI form. Would that variable be available until the MDI parent was closed (application exit?) Thanks in advance!

In asp classic, it was possible to compress / repair an access database via code. I was wondering if asp.net provides this ability and what namespace should I be looking in? Thank you so much! Kevin Howell
