.mdb just means a microsoft access database which uses VB code behind it. SQL is a language to access data from a database such as SELECT * FROM TBL_CODEPROJECT. If your database is small Access is easier you don't have to code a lot for simple things. If you need a larger database then you can look at SQL Server (2003, 2005 or Express--which is free) to store your data then using something else (such as Access/VB, a .NET environment to access the data inside the database.

The old function:
Format(InputDateString, "00/00/00") would take in something like 032807 and return 03/28/07.
I cannot seem to reproduce this with:
InputDate = String.Format("MM/dd/yy", InputDateString)or
OutputDateString= InputDateString.ToString("MM/dd/yy")Am I even close to figuring this out? I am trying to avoid the VB6 functions as much as possible.
As for the Mid() = that would be like saying:
Mid(InputRecord, 99, 5) = ReplacementString Is there a replacement for this other than
InputRecord = InputRecord.Substring(0, 99) & ReplacementString & InputRecord.Substring(99, InputRecord - 99)

Referring to the Formatting piece, if I first convert the string to a numeric value then use:
ConvertedValue.ToString("00/00/00")Then it works great how come I cant seem to get it to do anything from the original string?

1) For the mid function use Substring(startIndex(zero based), length)
Dim strOriginal As String = "My String"
Dim strSub As String = strOriginal.Substring(3, 2)'Returns "St"

I understand substring Im really asking about the replacement capability of the Mid function.

The Mid function didn't do replacements. It just returned a substring from a string.

If you perform the following function:
Mid(InputRecord, 99, 5) = ReplacementString It will indeed substring out the piece you dont want and replace it at the same time with the new string.

Odd. It's not documented to do that. Testing in VBA reveals that it will only replace the exact number of characters specified in the original span. Using a different length string will only get cut off.
The closest equivilent in the .NET Framework is String.Replace(). Strings are immutable so any changes you make are not reflected in the original string, but in a copy of the string.
Dim s As String = "This is a test..."
s = s.Replace("is", "was")
The original string "This is a test..." is dropped while the Replace method returns a new string with the changes made.

I've seen people utilize the Mid for that functionality though, and you're right it is a fixed length but that is the intention for where it is used, at least where I currently work. I decided to modify what the other poster said and just do InputRecord = InputRecord.Remove(99, 5).Insert(99, ChangedInputValue).
I am aware that the strings just create copies but this doesnt seem to be a large enough building scheme to utilize something else and like I said before I cant guarantee that the value at 99 for 5 is unique so a .Replace might have unforeseen consequences.

It is documented, but there's the Mid function and the Mid statement. They are two completely different things.

Sorry - did not read your post properly. Nothing I can think of that is as direct. You could use:
Dim s As String = "12345"
s = s.Remove(2, 2)
s = s.Insert(2, "xx") 'Returns "12xx5
I take it String.Replace(oldString, newString) is no good?
Hopefuly someone else posts with a better answer than mine...

Yes because I cant guarantee that the instance from 99 for 5 is unique.

Then you'll have to build the string back up using the available substring methods. The StringBuilder class would probably come in handy for that and save you from creating more String objects than is necessary.

Did you right-click References in Solution Explorer, Click Add Reference, and look under COM tab for "Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library"
|
|
|
|
|
if you still dont find it you'll need to install The Office 2003 Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) ull get them from the micrsoft website , just search for it...

i have one doubt....,
see when we are opening a new project in .net,
one global.asax file will be create automatically
what the use of that one?,
there some session start and session end process will be go on
its possible to explain those things...,
any one knows about that share with me......,
Take care....,
Regards,
Magi

The Global.asax file is in the root application directory. While Visual Studio .NET automatically inserts it in all new ASP.NET projects, it's actually an optional file. It's okay to delete it—if you aren't using it. The .asax file extension signals that it's an application file rather than an ASP.NET file that uses aspx.
The ASP.NET page framework recognizes automatically any changes that are made to the Global.asax file. The framework reboots the application, which includes closing all browser sessions, flushes all state information, and restarts the application domain.
The Global.asax file, which is derived from the HttpApplication class, maintains a pool of HttpApplication objects, and assigns them to applications as needed. The Global.asax file contains the following events:
* Application_Init: Fired when an application initializes or is first called. It's invoked for all HttpApplication object instances.
* Application_Disposed: Fired just before an application is destroyed. This is the ideal location for cleaning up previously used resources.
* Application_Error: Fired when an unhandled exception is encountered within the application.
* Application_Start: Fired when the first instance of the HttpApplication class is created. It allows you to create objects that are accessible by all HttpApplication instances.
* Application_End: Fired when the last instance of an HttpApplication class is destroyed. It's fired only once during an application's lifetime.
* Application_BeginRequest: Fired when an application request is received. It's the first event fired for a request, which is often a page request (URL) that a user enters.
* Application_EndRequest: The last event fired for an application request.
* Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute: Fired before the ASP.NET page framework begins executing an event handler like a page or Web service.
* Application_PostRequestHandlerExecute: Fired when the ASP.NET page framework is finished executing an event handler.
* Applcation_PreSendRequestHeaders: Fired before the ASP.NET page framework sends HTTP headers to a requesting client (browser).
* Application_PreSendContent: Fired before the ASP.NET page framework sends content to a requesting client (browser).
* Application_AcquireRequestState: Fired when the ASP.NET page framework gets the current state (Session state) related to the current request.
* Application_ReleaseRequestState: Fired when the ASP.NET page framework completes execution of all event handlers. This results in all state modules to save their current state data.
* Application_ResolveRequestCache: Fired when the ASP.NET page framework completes an authorization request. It allows caching modules to serve the request from the cache, thus bypassing handler execution.
* Application_UpdateRequestCache: Fired when the ASP.NET page framework completes handler execution to allow caching modules to store responses to be used to handle subsequent requests.
* Application_AuthenticateRequest: Fired when the security module has established the current user's identity as valid. At this point, the user's credentials have been validated.
* Application_AuthorizeRequest: Fired when the security module has verified that a user can access resources.
* Session_Start: Fired when a new user visits the application Web site.
* Session_End: Fired when a user's session times out, ends, or they leave the application Web site.
