You said the other PC does not have VB.NET 2003? It might not have the .NET Framework.. so you'll have to install "dotnetfx.exe". It can be downloaded at microsoft website.. search for it.. www.microsoft.com And if you have a database with SQL server.. you will have to setup a SQL server on that PC.. a client i suppose.. goodluck

Hi there, Do you mean you want to allow the user to select a location to save a data file sent from the server? Basically, your application is not allowed to access the IO system at the client side, so you may think of forcing the browser to display the Download dialog box with the SaveAs button so that the client can choose a place to save the file.

Read the docs on ADO.NET, or find an article on Database access with VB.NET, or search google. This question has been asked so many times that a little searching will get you the answer in no time.

Thank you ! dadax

GetDate() will return the current date and time. It is easy enough to just get the time portion from the returned DateTime Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

You don't want to do that anyway. From a security standpoint, there's practically no value of encrypting passwords on the server if you transmit them over plaintext SQL. Anyone with a packet logger (easy) can get as many passwords as they could by finding an admin password and reading them out of your DB (hard).

Hi dadax! Check my blog article at http://www.cubido.at/Blog/tabid/176/EntryID/34/Default.aspx. It describes how to do that using SQL Server's new encryption/decryption feature. Regards, Rainer.
