    Problem Installing

    It does seem like it is caught in a loop. It appears to copy the files and request a reboot. The computer used to create the application is also XP SP3. I will try installing the VB runtime separately. Any ideas on why it gets stuck in the loop?? Regards

    Updating Text in a Combo

    Thanks. I am trying to change from VB6 to .NET and find things very different. My application does require the user to pick from a list of choices, but there is also an option to edit the items in the list. I thought using a combo and allowing the user to edit and then save would be easy...

    Updating Text in a Combo

    The first section is just to indicate how I am loading dataset. My problem is within the save routine - loading the combobox works fine. I can add to the items in the combo list or edit the items in the list. If I edit I cannot work out how to save the edited item Regards

    Summary report Method

    I inserted my crosstab and now have a summary that provides my totals as required. After completing this step I realised that I might be able to use the total in the crosstab summary further. Is it possible for me to use this crosstab total to do a mathematical calculation with. For example...

    Summary report Method

    I have created a report in VB6 (using crystal reports 8.5). VB is passing a range of dates as parameters and the report is filtered according to these dates. The report has three parts. Part 1 provides a list of dates and distances covered by vehicles in groups. The format is as follows: Report...

    Select on parameter values

    I tried this but get the following error when I check the formula: This array must be subscripted. For example : Array[|] I have cut back to just one parameter and used as follows: Purchase.date = {?PM-?PRStartDate} - this works fine. Purchase.date >= {?PM-?PRStartDate} - this fails. I do not...

    Select on parameter values

    I am using VB6 to pass two datetime parameters to a crystal reports (8.5)main report. This works fine. I then have a sub report that I also pass these two date parameters to. The dates are a startdate and enddate. The sub report is connected to a table with a date field and I have selected...

    I have an ACCESS database that logs distances (in a Table Log Sheets) travelled by vehicles on particular dates. I created a report (DistReport) that allows the user to enter start and end dates and provide a detailed listing of all dates and distances travelled for each vehicle, then at the...
