i am using the loop to add data source for each series i want the chart to show.

As far as I know, you don't. Those are secondary data files and, combined with the master, make up the database. You do not manipulate the data in the files through anything other than the interfaces provided by the database. There is no supported method that I know of for getting at the data in the secondary files without going through the database. This question belongs in the General Database forum, not VB.NET.

Remember Me Next time checkbox on Login Server control. if checked when a user is loging on, next time the user logs on, no need to type the user id again. but the checkbox is checked, and the login server control keeps asking for the userid

Oh, you cross posted this. Please don't do that. You got the same answer in both places, you should just define the width in your aspx, not in code.

you keep a datatable in the session ? Can't you set the width in the aspx ? BTW, why did you not ask this in the ASP.NET forum, or did you cross post ?

This is just a guess, but have you tried a UNC path? e.g. \\HostingServer\CDrive\Invoice\myData.mdf Steve Jowett ------------------------- It is offen dangerous to try and see someone else's point of view, without proper training. Douglas Adams (Mostly Harmless)

Instead of doing it in coding,you can try out an different way. The domain hoster while giving you the details of the mail server will also provide you with an option to send auto responder . Try using it. Ramya

the problem with your code was order of execution. you need to set the left and top before you show the form because execution stops while the form is shown and continues when the form becomes hidden.

hi You are right. We can use the datagridview control. But it is not working exactly as mshflxgrd works in vb 6.0. I tried to use Datagridview The main problem i faced is that I am not able to position the focus to the cell (that is to set other cell as the current cell when the data entry of one cell is completed and enter key is pressed) which i wanted at run time. If you can help out this issue then hopefully we can use datagridview instaed of mshflxgrd. If fact i am also in the process of converting my vb 6.0 application to vb.net I am now stuck up with this issue. If you can help it out my time could be saved thanks in advance.

The picturebox should be there to show a picture, not to store one. If the database doesn't have a picture, you can either choose set the PictureBox's Image property to Nothing, or you can show a blank image or silohette image. It appears you already have a picture in an Image object. After all, you have to set the PictureBox's image property to it so it shows up. So, you can save the image data to your database from the original image object, without using any of the properties of the PictureBox.

The code as shown below worked for non-modal window form but did not position modal window forms. even setting the cordinates before showing the window form dim myForm as New Invoice myForm.show myForm.left = listview.left myForm.top=listview.top any further discoveries to positioning modal forms will be appreciated. thanks thank u t.aransiola

Normally you would do this in the connection strings section in your config file. That's why its there. Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
