What is the best way to read values from other Third Party Applications (textboxes, combo boxes) using .Net? Any Ideas? Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance Mike Lasseter

why not just email from form1? I don't think you can eliminate the Outlook Message using VB.Net. You will have to use Extended MAPI. There is an article on code project that is done in C++. Search for Extended Mapi and you will find it. Mike Lasseter

Try connecting to the Oracle Database using Sqlplus on the machine you are having problems with. If you can connect, then look for multiple tnsnames.ora file on the machine. Also make sure your Oracle Home points to the right directory in your Environment variables. Mike Lasseter

You will need to run another query to update that table "update available_parts set quantity = quantity - " & textbox3.text & " where partno = " & textbox2.text You should really look into using parameterized queries. Also rename textbox1, 2, 3 to something more meaningful.

You need to have IIS installed and running in order to create a web project in .Net 1.1.

Because I work for company A who wrote the application for company B. Now A is telling B that we need to rewrite/redesign the application?

I agree with you that the coding process needs to be improved. I inherited this application when I took a new job. The app is updated/enhanced about once or twice a month. Currently, these changes are taking longer to implement because the code is performing the same functionality in several different places. My motiviation for moving the application to .Net is to redesign/rewrite the application (it is not a large app, it should only take 2 months to rewrite). My problem is I can't go to the business and say the current application is a mess and needs to be rewritten, but I can say VB6 is no longer supported by Microsoft. But I need to provide more reasons for upgrading. Thanks. Any ideas?

I have an application that was written in VB6 (lots of spaghetti code), that I am trying to get the business to upgrade to .net (redesign). What are some reasons that could be used to entice the business to upgrade? I know the following: 1. Microsoft no longer supports VB6 so any future software releases (office, OS, etc.) could break functionality. 2. Maintenance Cost will be cheaper. 3. Fewer bugs due to better design, unit testing (nUnit) Anyone got anymore? Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to do a like on the auto number field? "SELECT * FROM tblCustomersParent WHERE CustomerName Like '%" & txtSearchString.Text & "%' or CompanyID = " & txtCompanyName You should really look at using parameterized queries as well. Mike Lasseter

move the commas around until you get them how you need them. You should see the pattern by now. ##,##,##,###.### Mike Lasseter

DataGridView is the .Net 2005 version of the DataGrid (2003). You should be able to use the same type of logic to find values in the datagrid. Mike Lasseter
