Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me. I am setting a VB.Net (2008) with Crystal Reports (ver 10) deployment to go onto other PCs. I have done this before but for some reason, getting a CrystalDecisions.Shared problem when I try and view a report on another PC. I have included in the project Crystal_database_access2003.msm Crystal_database_access2003_enu.msm Crystal_managed2003.msm Crystal_regwiz2003.msm I have also made sure I have the correct licence key. This has got me baffled. I have properly missed something simple out or done something wrong this time.

Hi, What is the best way to store/retrieve binary data in/from SQL server DB via VB.Net. I have inheritate an SQL server database that has stored PDF files in a table and not got a clue in how to store or retrive the binary data. I plan to write a VB.Net application to display the contents. Any ideas?

Hi, I do not know if this is the correct place to put this question but maybe someone has come acroos this problem. So sorry in advance. Is there a way to generate multiple files from 1 run i.e. via vb.net create a pdf file but the pdf has more than 1 page. I want to create a new file for every page e.g. Page1.PDF, Page2.PDF etc.

This can be closed. Found out another way. Copy to ListBox, select a file and then do what I want with that file.

Hi, I want to open a file via OpenFileDialog1 or is there a better way to select a file and then open it. Via this way, I want to select say a pdf file and double click and the file opens. I seem to be able to select the file but the file will not open. I know I am missing just about one line of code.

Hi, What do I need to do display on a form my 1..My default printer 2..List of all my printers Basically what reference do I need to import to get my printer properties. P.S. Any sample code would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible via VB programming to convert a word document to a pdf format? If so what is the best way and if not, how can this be done?

Hi, I am doing a project and wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I want to within VB.Net control a printer's print queue. I want to be able to view, pause or cancel a print job e.g. sent a document to the printer at a pause state, then able to print it. Don't know if you can just view a certain user's documents as well e.g. User Document A Let1.doc B Rent.doc A Cash.xls Able just to display A Let1.doc A Cash.xls Any ideas would be gratefully appriciated.

Thanks for the reply. The idea is rather than print straight away put the print to a queue then print later on the day. User request and I do as I am told. Not high enough up the chain. I like the idea of creating a PDF and then display all the prints. Then select the print you want. I would then run a procedure every couple of days to remove un printed documents. Do you think this is the best idea?

I wonder if anyone can help or give me advice before I start this vb project. All VB systems I have done before, the printing off crystal reports direct to printer was straight forward. Now I have to put my output first to a print queue to be printed off at a later date. What would be the best way of doing this? I will be using vb.net 2008 along with SQL Server. I have a couple of ideas but in short don’t know where to start. I thought putting the text file to some area in a database but how could this be done. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

I have the multi selection on. What I want to display is the actual items selected to be used in another procedure e.g. if b then etc Almost like assigning the selected items to a variable. Hope this makes sense???

Hi, How do you select multi items in a listbox? I have a listbox with say the following values A, B, C, D, E, F I want to select and then display the items I selected e.g. C, E, F It has been a while since I done VB development and I am a wee bit rusty. Due to staff cutbacks. Thanks in advance.

I am using VB 2005 and have connected to an Access database. Rather than do the usual for i = 0 to total, can you populate an array with the dataset some how.

I wonder if anyone can help me solve this problem. On a form load, I do a simple yes/no test. If I say No, then I want to close the form I am loading. I have tried Unload, me.Close, formname.Close but with no success. Keep getting errors. Is the problem with the Load event? I have tried closing the form from a procedure I created but no luck. I am properly doing something really stupid or missing sometning simple out.

Easy question for someone. Where do I get the control for MAPI I have VB.Net 2005

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help or even guide me in the right direction. I am developing using VB.Net 2005 and have a Windows Server 2003. I am going to write a routine that can display all the user names in the active Directory as well as maybe other information i.e. computername and more importantly their IP Address. Can this be done and if so can someone point me in the correct direction or can someone suggest a better way? I am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. Some time ago I managed to deploy a VB.Net 2003 system with Crystal Reports 8.5. I have forgotten how I did this. Can anyone point me the correct direction or give me any help. I remember it was add merged files etc.

Just got VB 2005 and wonder, How do you add code snippets to the list. Also can anyone recommend any web sites for code snippets? Thanks

INI files in VB.Net I read, is different from the way they where handled in VB 6. I will be needing an INI file for a project I am doing Is there any place that you could recommend that show sample code before I go down the old way of doing this
