You don't have to write another program to uninstall the app. You just add the .LNK file to the RemoveFile table in the .MSI using Orca or some other .MSI editing tool.

Okay so now i downloaded orca so i can edit the .MSI but now i need to know how to get the .MSI file. Does visual studio automatically create one? If so, how can i find it, if not how can i create one?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Uhhh...you already said you have an installer. What is it?? VS does NOT create an .MSI automatically. It's a project you have to add to your solution that gets compiled using the outputs of your main project. Express Editions of VS do not have this option.
Or you use some third party packaging software, like InnoSetup or Wise Package Studio, to create the .MSI.

There's an easier way to achieve this, by creating a plugin[^]. You might also be interested in the Bible[^] that CP hosts here.

This 'project' sounds very much like one of those viruses circulating on msn.
Nobody is going to help you write anything that could potentially hurt pc users.
So unless you can provide a very good reason why you would want to do this, your not going to get any help.

This is NOT a good way to ask for help. If you want code written for you, go to RentACoder.com and have your credit card handy. By the way, you get what you pay for...
This is a very advanced topic for someone who is new to programming. What have you done so far? If nothing, see my first point.

So go and write it and come back with specific problems - if you ever get that far, otherwise try rentacoder and pay for it.

Hello every body:
I want to change the buttons backcolor, when I press it  
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's nice. Let us know how you get on when you use the Click event and the BackColor property.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'd love to help you on this, but you forgot to mention to what colour you want to chance. Therefore I see no chance to be of any help.

i use VB 6.0 with MS Access as a database. With the insertion in table1 i use to update a counter (N+1, ....) in table2. but some time table2 does not update its value and repeat the previous value. e.g if previous value is 2854 then it should be updated to 2855
Help please

It would be difficult to answer your question without looking into your code.
|
|
|
|

Code is very simple and i know how to code for insertion into database.
str="Update table2 set field1=val1, field2=val2 Where condition"
set rs=cn.execute(str)
but some time it misses to update a record.

Change your number-field to an auto-numbering field[^].
That way the number will increase itself, every time that you insert a table - without the need to track the highest number in a separate table.

You should be using autonumbering fields for your primary keys. Also, when you insert a record into Table1, you need to retrieve the ID that record got in the table, then use that ID in your query to update Table2.

This code will NOT insert anything into table2, ever wondered why ?

I will be the first to admit that I don't know what I'm doing. But I have dabbled a little here and there so I'm willing to give this a try...maybe you will too?
I work at a company with some very antiquated software. We have a program that was built using no less that 8 different DOS-based applications strung together. We've managed to keep this thing working for quit a while now and still add new data to the source files and recompile them regularly. But, we're getting pretty nervous about the age and complexity of this application and want to replace it with a database-driven application. The input to the application is a text file that contains a bunch of 5-digit alpha-numeric codes like "E5101" or "E5101QTY=2". Each code represents either some very specific instructions to our manufacturing shop or some Bill of Material data (BOM). For example the "E5101" code means to take the part we're building, put some glue into the hole, and then insert a bushing into that hole and let the glue dry. The example of the "E5101QTY=2" is a BOM code and it basically means that we will need two of the bushings that are used for the assembly. I hope this is clear as it is a simple but powerful concept.
Now, the output of the application is another text file which contains these same codes but in a logical order. For example the code to issue some raw material needs to come before the code to cut that material and that needs to come before a code to paint that material. And BOM codes need to be separated from codes that are work instructions. So the order of the codes has been revised based on some rules/tags/parameters that we have been assigning.
Finally, my question is how should I approach replacing this application with a database?
It is really pretty simple in some ways but is as complex as a geneology tree, which is one of the main software components that comprise this application. It was developed at the Mormon university BYU where they are big into tracing their ancestry. This worked for a industrial applications because to correctly order these codes the user need to be able to build something like a database and have a way of relating the contents. But this was done before databases had been formalized.
So, please be kind to a newbie and give me some sage advice on the best way to approach this.
Thanks
Noah

Maybe you should post this in the General Database Forum - you will get better replies there.

I am not sure if the answer will be small enough to discuss in the forum. Still, you should give a try in the database forum.

You're new to programming and want to replace a complex historic bunch of code?
I suggest you use the Job Board and look for a professional to solve your problem.

You've come to a point in the road where the question is "Should I build a system to meet my requirements or Buy an already designed/tested/supported ?"
You may want to invetigate systems that will meet your need and weigh that against the cost of developing a new system. If nothing else, you will see how other people have solved the problem an maybe give you an idea on how to start your design.
However, I've done some work for manufacturing companies in the past from what I can remember, I think you want to start your analysis/design by thinking of the "big" blocks of your application, then gradually add more and more detail to each block and show the relationships among the blocks.
Some of the "blocks" I can think of are:
Customer
Parts
Instructions
WorkOrder
WorkOrderDetail
Research Entity-Relationship Diagrams to help you organize your design ...
