Hello,
In VB .Net, you can use:
Process.Start( <insert your parameters here> )
Hope this helps,
Mitch

All it needs in the same version of the .NET Framework installed that you used to develop the app. You don't need Access or Microsoft Office. Just install MDAC 2.7 or better and you should be OK there also.

I have a very simple question that I've been trying to figure out how to do. I want to take a 9 digit number and format it as xxx-xx-xxxx. I tried the following code, but it is not working.
Format(CStr(m_EmpID), "###-##-####")
Any suggestions?

Hello,
If you are using VB .Net you could use:
strnumber = strnumber.Insert(3, "-")
strnumber = strnumber.Insert(6, "-")
Where strnumber is your number in a string format.
Hope this helps,

just as an aside, it's considered really bad form these days to used a ssn as a customer id. many industries are being made to change their system to move away from this type of architecture. banks, insurance etc.
not sure if this is what you're doing, but from your post i'd say it's a pretty good guess.
just something to keep in mind.

I'm actually writing an app to lookup employees by name to retrieve the social security number for use with our system. Yes I agree about getting away from ssn and this is the exact reason this app is being written.
There is a big push to get rid of ssn as the employee id in our company right now, and we're removing the id from all printed material and using this app to look up a number when needed.
We're planning to replace the system in about a year and this is just part of a temporary work around.
Thanks for the post...

Hello
I need some help on writing an app that uses .dot files(word templates) in wich I add some data from a database and then prints the result. So far I came up empty on using the .dot file in my program or printing the result. I'm rather new to Windows programing (but i have experience in C++ programing). If you know of any way I can pursue the ideea further please post a reply.

The .DOT files are only usable inside Word. I would suggest writing an application that uses Word automation to load the template, fill in the fields, and the print it.

:SMACK!:  How's that for feedback?
You haven't posted any of your code that writes the file, nor reads it. Without that, it's pretty impossible to tell you what you're doing wrong. I'd be willing to bet you didn't close and dispose of your stream object properly, thus leaving the underlying file handle open until the GC gets around to disposing the object for you, thus closing the underlying handle.

Dim ppApp As PowerPoint.Application

Dim ppSlides As Slide
Set ppApp = New PowerPoint.Application

Set ppPresentation = ppApp.Presentations.Add
ppPresentation.Slides.Add 1, ppLayoutTitle
Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetData Picture1.Image
ActivePresentation.Slides.Paste

I'm no expert on the subject, but...
It looks like you're attempting to paste the image into the Slides collection of the ActivePresentation. The Paste method your using is expecting the clipboard contents to be a Slide object, not an image.
I would suggest trying to paste it to the ActivePResentation.Slides(Index).Shapes collection using that collections Paste() method.
I can't tell you how to do it, because I've never controled PowerPoint through automation before...

I’m writing an application that is to be installed on a number of multi-user Active Directory XP machines. There are a number of config parameters which need to be set up on each machine so I’ve created a simple form to edit and save the value into the registry in a key under HKLM\Software\.
My problem comes when saving those values. Administrators have permission to write to that key but normal users don’t, resulting in a Security Exception. What I’d like to do is be able to check write permissions in advance and stop the values for being changed on the form, or even dim the option from the menu.
Is there a way for a given registry key I can check if the current user has write permissions without having to open the key and waiting for an exception to be throw?
