I am not sure, but something like this has worked fine for me: Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=GExcel.xls"); It could be case case sensitive. // ♫ 99 little bugs in the code, // 99 bugs in the code // We fix a bug, compile it again // 101 little bugs in the code ♫ Tell your manager, while you code: "good, cheap or fast: pick two.

Thanks for the reply. I expect the issue is related to a configuration difference but it is not the resolution as the resolution on the 'failing' PCs is the same as that on the successful PCs. Thanks Again...

We don't have direct MS support; and their knowledge base (and other groups) has not yet shed any light on what I am seeing. However, I continue to hold out hope that I am missing something painfully obvious that will soon become clear. OTOH, I may just have to travel down another road.

Thanks very much for the help there. ORCA did work. I did find the whole thing pretty tricky though For the benefit of anyone else trying this in the future: this article kid of helped: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830612[^] but it took this article to tell me that one needs to format the Target as [#] http://bytes.com/topic/net/answers/411545-clicking-created-shortcut-triggers-reinstallation[^] I would have hoped it was easier, but not surprised at the Microsoft Magic. Think I need to look for a better deployment tool

Thanks for the suggestion.

Just as I suspected, I am an idiot. I simply did not have the MainMenuStrip property set on my MDI container to the MenuStrip I had placed on the MDI form. I'm a moron, but at least the MDI app is working as expected again.

From the help on SqlDependency Class: " SqlDependency was designed to be used in ASP.NET or middle-tier services where there is a relatively small number of servers having dependencies active against the database. It was not designed for use in client applications, where hundreds or thousands of client computers would have SqlDependency objects set up for a single database server." Not a good ideal in this context.

Well, I have an answer to my own question. If anyone is curious, I went ahead and created another class that inherits the PrintPreviewDialog, and by using that class to perform the preview functions I am able to capture keystrokes on the preview form, including escape, from within that class. I would prefer not to have to create another class but if that is what is needed, I will live.

Not as far as I can tell. Even if overriding WndProc the same data is sent for both. m.Msg is WM_SYSCOMMAND (0x0112) m.WParam is SC_CLOSE (0xf060) Dave

Or you could try UUEncoding, which isnt exactly what you have requested, but at least you wont be reinventing the wheel. Mark Churchill Director Dunn & Churchill

Never mind. I can do this programatically with the upgrade method.

I'm afraid I either posted my original question very poorly, or you misunderstood. I know how to create a shortcut key, my problem is that when a control other than a text box control has the focus, the user does not have to press the Alt key to go to another control that has a shortcut (or accelerator) key. For example, assume the command buttons below where btn1 has the shortcut set to "b", and btn2 has the shortcut set to "u" btn1.Text = "&button1" btn2.Text = "b&utton2" If btn2 currently has the focus, the user only has to press the letter "b" for btn1 to get the focus. I would prefer if the user always had to press the "Alt" key before any shortcut is activated but as long as the focus is not on a textbox, the "Alt" keys is apparently now unnecessary. I know I can tackle this issue by ensuring the Alt key is pressed in the KeyDown event of non-textbox controls, but I'm hoping there is some global setting in Tools-Options that I do not know about that will quickly tackle this issue for any apps I may develop. Thank you...

I have now and thank you very much.

As far as I know there is no way to know the free space unless the server has a [realy twisted custom] command fot it. IE: If you want to store a file you send a "STOR" command. To change the current dir, the command is "CWD". As far as I know there is no "standard" command for get the free space :( -- modified at 10:51 Friday 18th August, 2006 I'm on a Fuzzy State: Between 0 an 1
