Sorry about the misunderstanding.I don't want to show all the records at once.What I mean is that user can see one record at a time but he can navigate to next and previous record as well.Is there is any way to do this.
Thanks for ur reply.

Hi all,
How would one go about finding the latest file through vb??? I have file like this... "c:\TESTER\FORMAD.R02001" and "c:\TESTER\FORMAD.R02002" and "c:\TESTER\FORMAD.R02003" and so on...
the "c:\TESTER\FORMAD.R" section stays the same... so the "02001" and "02002" and "02003" and so on is the part that indicates the newes file where the highest number is the newest... how do i find this newest file through VB....
Thank you in advance

Hello,
You can try this code. However, this is specific to the type of file name you have mentioned. To
test this code, put up a ListBox and a button control on the form. On button click event, paste
the following code.
Dim ofd As New FolderBrowserDialog
Dim result As DialogResult
result = ofd.ShowDialog()
If result = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(ofd.SelectedPath)
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
For Each dra In diar1
ListBox1.Items.Add(dra)
Next
End If
Dim filearray() As String
Dim greater As Integer = 0
Dim index As Integer
Dim i As Integer
If ListBox1.Items.Count > 0 Then
ReDim filearray(ListBox1.Items.Count - 1)
End If
For i = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
Dim s As String = ListBox1.Items(i).ToString
Dim substr As String = s.Substring(s.LastIndexOf(".") + 1)
If substr.StartsWith("R0") Then
filearray(i) = substr.Substring(2)
End If
Next
For i = 0 To filearray.Length - 1
If IsNumeric(filearray(i)) Then
If filearray(i) > greater Then
greater = filearray(i)
index = i
End If
End If
Next
If greater = 0 Then
MsgBox("No File Found")
Else
MsgBox(ListBox1.Items(i - 1).ToString & " is the latest file")
End If
I hope this helps.

Hi Support123,
If file is created sequentially,i.e. 02002 is created before 02003, then you can know newly created file by the CreationTime or CreationTimeUtc property of the FileInfo object. If you intend to know last updates file, you can use LastWriteTime or LastWriteTimeUtc properties of FileInfo object. Sort the file based on one of these properties in Descending order, top 1 file in the array (with index 0) will be the latest file.
I hope it'll give you the idea.

I am trying to Import Address book (Name, MobileNo) from Excel file. Everything is working. Because of the importing speed issue, I decided to add the column ID (GUID) to DataTable. Running the sql statement SELECT NewID() AS ID, Name, MobileNo FROM tablename (tablename is worksheet name in Excel) raises an exception and its clear for me that NEWID() function is not working for OleDb(Excel) database, while same query runs fine in Sql Server. While trying to find some solutions, i figured that DataTable events (TableNewRow,RowChanging) can be used to assign new guid value to every row. But  it still did not solve the problem because these events are not fired by OleDbDataAdapter.Fill() method. These events are fired if we use DataTable.Rows.Add() method.
Is there anybody have the solution to this problem? I don't want to loop through each row to add the value because records can be between 20,000 to more than 100,000. I expect quick response.

I dont think Adding Column Id will speed up, instead check ur connectivity method or use DSN etc to speed up or simply import ur data to backend database by external means for once and all
thnx

Excel isn't exactly a database. The Jet database doesn't have a NewId() function like SQL Server T-SQL does.
You'll have to generate GUID's using your own code and populate that column yourself. You'll also have to verify that the GUID your code generates does not already exist anywhere in your data too.

Where you put the code is dictated by your process. If you already have a large table, but are just missing the GUIDs, you'll have to go through and add the values yourself, enumerating the entire table.

Thanks Dave Kreskowiak and fazeepk for your quick response.
I am adding ID (GUID) column for internal purpose, which is must for my program. I am adding through the loop, which i wanted to eliminate, thats why i asked if there is auto generating way available. Thats what I mean to speed up.
Dear Dave Kreskowiak, I know Excel is not database and has no NEWID() function. Purpose to ask the question was, may be I've not enough knowledge about Excel. May be there is any other function/way available. But from your reply I can guess that I've no any option other than LOOP.
I think DataTable is not related to any database. Its pure .NET object. Why its not firing events, when it is populated by any means(i.e. FILLed by DataAdapter).
Well, thanks again to both of you. I'll just wait little, if there will be any other reply with solution.

It has nothing to do with Excel. There is no function in the Jet database engine that generates Guids. Jet is where the SQL expression is going to be parsed and executed. Excel is just used as datastore.
Aftab Sindhi wrote: May be there is any other function/way available
I already said the only way you've got is the one you're already using.
Aftab Sindhi wrote: I think DataTable is not related to any database.
No, it's not. It's an in-memory copy of the data and metadata retrieved from a database, or some other datastore.
Aftab Sindhi wrote: Why its not firing events, when it is populated by any means(i.e. FILLed by DataAdapter).
Probably because the events have to be wired up manually. You create a new instance of a DataTable, then you use AddHandler to wire up the events.
Also, when filling a DataTable with a DataAdapter, the events will not fire because the rows are not being added to the DataTable using the methods exposed by the DT. If they did, there would be a massive number of events firing, nearly all at once, while the table was being filled.

I'm trying to create an application that utilizes one button to record the start and end time. If the user clicks it once the app records the current time as the start of the function. If it is clicked again the end time of a function is recorded. The name on the button preferrably would change from start to end. I'm looking into trying this due to a limitation on the number of buttons allowed on a school project.
Thanks

DateTime.Now will give you the time right now. You can store this and subtract it from the current time the second time the button is pressed. The button has a Text property you can use to change what text is on it.

I have an existed Excel file (My_Excel.xls) with pure data, when I try to open it as database ... following SQL define requires a table name (what_table?) in order to access it:
<br />
conn = "Provider= Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & Environment.CurrentDirectory & "\My_Excel.xls; Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"<br />
<br />
Dim SQLString As String = "SELECT * FROM what_table"<br />
<br />
DBCon = New OleDbConnection(conn)<br />
DBDat = New OleDbDataAdapter(SQLString, DBCon)<br />
DBCom = New OleDbCommandBuilder(DBDat)<br />
DatT = New DataTable<br />
<br />
DBCon.Open()<br />
DBDat.Fill(DatT)<br />
DBCon.Close()<br />
How can I define My_Excel.xls the table "what_table" in order to use the above code?
Thanks to any help

Define a named range in your spreadsheet called what_table that represents the data area you want to access.

I have been struggling with this issue off and on for the last couple of weeks. I created a .NET project with a class that will be available to .NET and then another .NET project with a COM class that will make that first class available to VB6. I am not letting Visual Studio register the object for COM and am doing that myself. I am using the following commands to register the assembly.
gacutil /i TestCode.dll /f<br />
regasm TestCode.dll /tlb:TestCode.tlb /codebase
I am able to see the assembly in the references box in VB6 and I can use the intellisense but it wont let me use it. I have tried the following 2 ways to instantiate the object.
Dim objTestCode As New TestCode.Testing
and
Dim objTestCode As TestCode.Testing <br />
Set objTestCode = New TestCode.Testing
Neither of those allow me to use the code. At one time I was able to use the assembly but that was last Friday and it was when Visual Studio was doing the registering for me. The reason I am manually registering it on my own box is that I want to replicate what will occur when this is deployed to multiple servers.

Howdy, Cleako,
I think I may be up against a similar problem. It sounds as if we're both aiming for the same goal.
What failure do you get when you say that "it won't let me use it" ??
I posted the following question yesterday as well on a different forum within this site.
--Chris
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Howdy,
I am an RF engineer (read: non-programmer!) building a library of GPIB-instruments that I can use from various applications (.NET C#, Excel VB6) to script a few tests. This article has been *extremely* useful, although now I'm stuck at one error in Excel VB6 I can't resolve:
"File or assembly name instrument_drivers, or one of its dependencies, was not found"
What does seem to be working correctly:
- My dll, "instrument_drivers", shows up in the list of VB6 references
- I can 'Dim x As instrument_drivers.HP8648C' in my code (and the intellisense does recognize all of the class subroutines that I've made public,
- I can 'Set x = New instrument_drivers.HP8648C', again with confirmation of intellisense,
- I can 'x.open_device(23)', one of the subroutines
But, I get the above error when I go to run it. Google searches churn up similar problems from other programmers, notably opening permissions in a windows temp directory and disabling file indexing. All done, no luck.
Any ideas or comments are greatly appreciated,
--Chris

I ended up not using the gacutil /i part and just used the regasm part but it became a 2 line command.
regasm TestCode.dll /codebase<br />
regasm TestCode.dll /tlb:TestCode.tlb
