Thanks for replies. Both contains good ideas to resolving the problem.

You're welcome. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. [The QA section does it automatically now, I hope we soon get it on regular forums as well]

GENIUS I couldn't work out why it wasn't happening! Although you could have been a bit of a smartarse over that, it was nice to see you just pointed out what others failed to see! ------------------------------------ No Good Deed Goes Unpunished Clare Boothe Luce

The System.IO.DirectoryInfo object can be used to get a list of all directories. Storage Cards will have this attribute: System.IO.FileAttributes.Temporary.

Yes something along those lines would be a much better license protection system. Not perfect but much better.

Hi all, I solved the problem simply changing the first line of code (definition of function) Public Function ReadField(ByVal NameArray As String, ByVal Field As Integer) As String With this one: Public Function ReadField(ByRef NameArray() As String, ByVal Field As Integer) As String Thanks fo help Ignazio

with the ComboBox outside the TabControl it would always be visible and have no need to repopulate, unless you want to. :) Luc Pattyn :badger: :jig: :badger: Have a look at my entry for the lean-and-mean competition; please provide comments, feedback, discussion, and don’t forget to vote for it! Thank you. :jig: :badger: :jig:

Thanks to all, I resolved with following code: Dim TotRecords As Integer = WptFile.GetLength(0) - 1 Dim Index As Integer Dim Index1 As Integer = 1 Do Until Index1 = WptFile1.GetLength(0) For Index = 1 To TotRecords If WptFile1(Index1) = WptFile(Index) Then WptFile1(Index1) = WptFile1(WptFile1.GetLength(0) - 1) ReDim Preserve WptFile1((WptFile1.GetLength(0) - 1) - 1) Index1 = Index1 - 1 Exit For End If Next Index1 = Index1 + 1 Loop It cuts (re-dimension) array WptFile1, after deleted all duplicated records.

Thank you very much Joel!

Thanks Joel!

Thanks for reply, but C# is not the same of C++. Bye!

Thank you very much Joel! Your posts are precise and reliable as usual. I will follow your advice. But While I was trying to resolve the problem, I made this simply modify to the code: I placed the OpenFileDialog1 code and the file reading code in 2 different Sub, and in the first line of reading Sub I added ME.Refresh() statement. It seems that this modify works and the OpenFileDialog1 disappears before the file is read (as I desired). Ignazio modified on Monday, December 15, 2008 4:35 PM

Is there any way you can post a sample of your code? Joel Ivory Johnson (J2i.net) Live Messenger

Thanks Adam, I received your reply in "real time", just while I was working around... Your line works! Ignazio
