Open new outtlook mail window

You can't. You have to create your own message box using a standard form and a couple of buttons.
Only then will you have complete control over the visual appearance of your message box.

I think anything other than what Prasad has shown will require you to Interop with Outlook. Search Google[^] for details.

I'v never tryd this before (I always use a ftp fileserver and a path in the database) but I think you can just get the image the same way as you would request a string from the sql server.

If not you might want to consider using a file server and only a path in the database for it will most likly be faster and you're database size will be much smaller

There are almost as many examples of this on the web as there are chat applications. All you have to do is Google for "sql server 2000 vb.net store retrieve image[^]".

Do NOT use the term "urgent" aywhere in your posts. This tends to get you ignored. If it were that urgent, you'd be Googling this question yourself, until your fingers bled.

How to Deploy a Vb.net Application

9-Jul-07 4:38

So, how many timers are you going to post this question, then ignore the replys you get?

You're making a huge assumption. Most motherboard don't expose any kind of serial number.

You can get the serial number of most harddrives using the links you got 2 days ago.

CPU serial numbers (CPUID) are turnedoff by defulat in just about all systems. Relying on either CPU or motherboard serial numbers is a very bad idea if you're looking to use them for securing your application. There is NOTHING that says a hardware manufacturer has to incorporate them into the hardware and even less that says it should be readable by any code.

This looks like a permissions issue from the error message.

The user you are running the application under will need to be registered both on the server and the SQL database.

Have you checked this?

You always pass failure on the way to success.

so does it mean i have to create a User for every peson who has to use the application?
if i create my application in my connection strng i pass the user iD of an Admnistrator and the password, Doesnt it uses that credentials to run on any machine?

thanks

Yes you are correct SQL server will pick up the connection settings you send. So it looks like you should get a connection to SQL server.

What I wonder is this - can you see the server i.e computer over the network from the client machine? It may be that although SQL server side you are ok - on the windows server side you may not be.
Having said all of that I am not a windows server expert - it is more something I would look at.

Have a look at this link as well.

You have no choice but to install the .NET Framework on the workstation you want this app to run on. If you used VB.NET 2005, you MUST install the .NET Framework 2.0.

Is your application installed on the workstation or is the code running from a network source, like a file share on a server? If the code is running from ANY source other than the hard drive in the local workstation, you can get this error message. This is because of Code Access Security (look it up on MSDN). Code running from any non-local source is run in a heavily restricted sandbox by default.

In my Organisation the Users dont have Access to their Local harddisk, now for me to see the Exe to Execute them, i had to install it to the Network drive so i can Access the Exe. the reason is that ma new to VB.NEt, when i Deploy my Application. it creates shortcuts that are not executables, and when i click them they just taking me to the Explorer.

Thank you Dave
