Hi guys,girls,others
need to automate a report in word using vb6 and the results of a query on an access database. got as far as getting the info from the database now need to put it all in word. problem is the info might contain just one record or it might contain over 200 records, or even more, or nothing. so, never having accessed word from vb6 before and the last time i tried to write code was 8 years ago, i am having some problems here as you can well imagine.
help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Carter,
Better an imperfect answer than no answer at all:
First thing I would consider if I were you is to forget about vb6, and go for vb.net. Its a bit scary and a little frustrating at first but give it two weeks and you'll wonder why you ever considered doing it in vb6. With vb.net it is very easy to retrieve data from any source, stick it into an xml file, which in turn is relatively easy to turn into a word file, or any other MS Office format for that matter. This will also make your code work with pretty much all versions of Word.
If that is not an option for you, you should consider starting off with Word and not vb6. In other words, open a word file and play around with Word's own macro functionality, which Visual Basic Editor in itself is roughly the same as vb6 anyway. You could probably just copy most of the code you wrote so far, and you won't have to struggle with getting Word to work and accept input, etc, etc.
If that too is of no help to you, I suggest posting a new question on this forum and being way more specific about the problem you are facing. (bits of example code, error messages, specific steps you don't know how to take, etc.)
Good luck,
Johan

OK, there you have it, my probably totally unprofessional attempt at coding, but it works so far so i must say i am quite pleased with myself.
my problem is with the range object i think. i need to have more than one word on a line and i just cant seem to do this. the first line is to have the headers and the following lines are to have the information organised under the relevent headers.
vb.net is not an option, i only have vb6 and not even the msdn help files so battling is putting it mildly.

Which costs more vb.net or your mental health?
But seriously, besides the comments I posted earlier, I am afraid I can't help you further. My suggestion is to post only the bottom part of the code you posted in a new question:

I am sure that someone can help you with this, because it is not at all an uncommon automation project.

And don't sell yourself short. The question of professional or unprofessional coding is only interesting for the hardcore C++ nerds (they seem to have a real hangup about it  ).
Good luck with it,

Why are you even using it when there is a Ftp client already built into the .NET Framework 2.0, using the FtpWebRequest[^] and FtpWebResponse[^] classes.

Dim Cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim Rst As ADODB.Recordset
set cnn = new adodb.connection
Cnn.Open "Your database connection statement goes here"
set rst = new adodb.recordset
rst.open "Your SQL Query Statement",Cnn,adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
you can now manipulate your database information, like add, delete, etc.
hope this helps. this works for VB6 when you have referenced ado.

There is an SQL Client provider that you can use. I'm not sure if you have to install it or it is part of the core package. Try looking for DataAdapters/Command/other database objects here:
System.Data.SqlClient
If you need connection string information try this site:
http://www.connectionstrings.com/[^]
Hope this helps.

hi,
i am developing a client-server application in vb.net.
I am using a socket class in it.
I declared one object in my client application as:
dim clientSck as TcpClient
clientSck.connect(ipaddress,portno)
here if server application is not running it raised the exception,
so how this can be handled, how can i include state property to check state connected or not.
Please tell the solution.

Wrap this in a Try/Catch block to get the exception and handle the problem however you want.
Try
clientSck.Connect(ipaddress.portno)
Catch ex As SocketException
' The Connect call threw an exception
' Do whatever you need to do to handle the situation
End Try
The TcpClient class already exposes a Connected property. It's true if a connection was successful, otherwise false.

Nilish wrote: can i protect my files by applying the password
If you were talking about password protecting any file, not just your own application, then no, you cannot do this. This requires writing a low-level file system extension to support this, writing a database manager to hold all of the passwords, writing a utility to manage the password database, and finally, comming up with a method to recover a file if the user ever forgets the password (like that ever happens!  )
This requires a blackbelt in Windows internals and NTFS. No, there is no guide to walk you through something like this.
If you were talking about protecting the data files of your own application, then you'd have to code this into your app. You could encrypt the file with the password making it look like a pile of junk if opened in something like Notepad. This will NOT stop any other application from opening the file! It just encrypts the data in it!

VB.NET does not do this. MySql does this. Send the command to MySql through the appropriate data provider's command object. (I'm guessing you've got a MySqlCommand object from somewhere).

Thanks,
but i know this mysql does this. but i m not getting the mysql command to take backup & restore it. I will try to execute those commands in vb.net.
If u know the mysql commands for backup & restore plz tell me.

I swear, lately, about 80% of the questions that show up can be answered by a single Google.

I was trying the command line arguments to get the path of the selected folder programatically in vb.net.
It is working fine except one thing
if the folder name is like c:\abc def
then i am getting c:\abc
if the folder name is c:\abc
then the output is correct.
in command line argument
i am using
application path %1
eg
c:\abc.exe %1
Please help
|
|
|
|

If the path contains spaces then put it in quotes in the command line.
MyApplication "c:\My Path With Spaces\some file.txt"
or, if you are using a batch parameter
MyApplication "%1"
