I don't understand good enough your question. Try yo use memo1.lines.savetofile and save content of Memo1 direct as file. I Love T-SQL "Don't torture yourself,let the life to do it for you." If my post helps you kindly save my time by voting my post. www.aktualiteti.com

Yeah, I think one of my "fans" is running around stalking me. I really couldn't give a rats ass if someone 1-votes me. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP Visual Developer - Visual Basic      2006, 2007, 2008

This possibly is a join but based on the info it's hard to say. Could you give few example rows from the tables and an example what the report would look like with that data. The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]

I greatly appreciate your help, very Patient :)

Don't know - never tried. Never had a reason to. I don't think there's a COM component you can put on your form to show a Java window. You might want to checkout a Java-dedicated board for an answer to this one, like Sun's Support Forums[^]. The only thing I can think of would be to put a WebBrowser control on your form and have it navigate to the source of your Java code, be it a website or a file path.

The first part is not very tricky - just use an OpenFileDialog to browse for the files. When OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog() returns DialogResult.OK, you can add the selected filename or filenames to your list (for example, an ArrayList). Creating a rar file from the files selected cannot be achieved with the base class library classes. I don't know a library that creates rar, but you should definitely have a look at SharpZipLib (google for it), it can create zip, bzip, gzip and some other formats. Regards, mav
