Hi Tushar, Yea, thats the parts that got me stumped.. I am not even sure I added my exe properly into that Setup project or not.. Been trying to search for a walkthru on this in the net but unsuccessful at the moment.. Hopeful you can help out.. Thanz in Advance..

Been through that book, it doesn't go through SQL database programming. Select and Insert Command.. We are getting somewhere eventually.. Beasically, I am not asking anyone to write the whole code down for me. as Mentioned on the starting thread, I gave a small example of what I am trying to do and hopefully, someone out there who is helpful enough and have some spare time in his hands can help out.. This is what this thread is for, after all.. So anyone else with some knowledge on this and is willing to help... Will appreciate your time...

Just issue the close method over the form. It'll be closed (passing through the closing and close events) and then destroyed.

Man, u guys make it seem so easy... Hahaha, Once again, I am deeply indebted to you, Christian Grauz. Thanz man...

No, you learn how to write the code yourself instead of having a Wizard mess it up for you. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Man, I have been pondering this part for a 2 hours and the solution is actually such a simple step... Hehehe..Anyway, it works. So thanz a lot, Eduard.

Public Function AcceptNumeric(ByRef TextBox1 As TextBox, ByVal decLength As Integer, ByVal eKeyChar As Char) As Boolean Dim dotIndex As Integer Dim decPlace As Integer Dim eHandled As Boolean decPlace = TextBox1.MaxLength - decLength - 1 dotIndex = TextBox1.Text.IndexOf(".")

Ahh, found that masked Edit Box u mentioned using google. Thanz a bunch lespaul. U r great...

I have had a few times when it was necessary to hide form1 and then make it visible again when form2 closed. I found that it didn't always become visible again. Probably a focus issue and I have not had to deal with that very much in vb.net. While I agree that it is a dirty way of doing it, it worked.

Hey, not bad, two replies in a day... You guys and gals are great. Thanz for being so helpful... Will take a look at that thread you sent me...
