Thanks for getting back and providing me with the information. As below, this should be enough for me to work something out.

I have no idea what you're doing, but DataSourceConnections is a read-only property that returns a collection of IConnectionInfo objects. You cannot assign annything to that property and you definitely can't call it as if it was a method, like your code is doing. I don't use CrystalReports, but perhaps you're looking to do something like: crReport.DataSourceConnections.Add(...) A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak

Yes and no. Shortening the message is one way of improving the probability it hits the truth, but then it is also less informative. I'd rather have it say: "the file is currently in use, either by your own process or by some other process." That way, the reader knows he has to actually look for two quite different possibilities. And then, of course, they should put in some more effort and find out which of those two it is, and provide the more specific message; either "the file is currently in use by your own process", or "the file is currently in use by another process (processname, processID)". But that would be helping the user, something Windows isn't inclined to do much. :) Luc Pattyn [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum The quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get.

The image datatype in SQL Server allows you to store files. Google 'store files in SQL Server database' and you should see lot of examples describing how to do this.

If you click on the second link in my first reply and scroll down to the answer from 'JWolf011' and look at the code he has posted. You have not show us the code you are using so I cannot tell you exactly where you should put that code but for an example suppose that you have a Button to turn off Duplex. Double-click the Button to get the template for its Click handler in your code window. Inside the new handler type the code from that link (leave out the two Debug.Print lines, if you like and you must change mo.SetPropertyValue("Duplex", True) to mo.SetPropertyValue("Duplex", False)). Then when you run your application and click that Button it should turn off Duplex. Then do your normal printing. If it works then move the code into your normal print routine.

Central_IT wrote: What is the best way to ... Depends on your definition of best. The easiest way would be based on the Directory.GetFiles(String, String) method, taking the Count of the array being returned. This however is not the least expensive one in terms of system load, as it is building an array of strings, which potentially could be huge and take long. The cheapest way would probably be based on calling the Win32 functions GetFirstFile() and GetNextFile(), which requires P/Invoke and a bit more code. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, improve readability, and make me actually look at the code. modified on Friday, January 14, 2011 6:27 AM

Try changing the selected items to 2 ie MsgBox(lvwListView.SelectedItems(2).Text) You should also be able to refer to the name of the field ie MsgBox(lvwListView.SelectedItems("Department").Text) Cheers Ants

IMO a ListView is a viewer, which means it shows data it got somewhere; that same somewhere should be used to stuff an array, not the ListView itself. You shouldn't mix up presentation and business layers. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, and improve readability.

Hi, The application was not running or looked as it had stopped. Is there anything that indicates that the app is still running? I did press the stop button. I can make a change to the form designer then go into the code and run no problem from there. It is a strange one that was driving me nuts but properly I am doing something wrong.
