You need to register an ODBC datasource and pass the name of that to the getConnection() method rather than the name of the access file. Store your favourite bookmarks online: my-faves.co.uk

Not support in VB6. There is no operator overloading what-so-ever. This isn't even a feature in Visual Basic.NET 2002 or 2003. This won't happen until the 2005 release. Also, the operator your overloading is a stream operator. There is no such operator in the 2005 release, AFAIK. You class will have to supply it's own support for converting itself to a string and returning that string. Then your parent code can use that to output to whatever stream you see fit. But, there is no operator that does this for you. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

depending on what you are trying to do, there are two main options: 1. Causing the Code to completly halt can be done by using the Sleep method (i saw you got a got overview of it) or by looping like you did BUT - add a DoEvents() call inside the loop, this will allow the window to redraw this approach of halting is not very safe to begin with, especially in VB6 that runs EVERYTHING on a single thread. you might want to try these two approachs: 2. Timer based halt. Create a timer object, and set it to start timing you in the 'Wait' method handle the timer's "Timer" event, in the hanlding sub a. disable the timer b. call a method to continue the operation there are additional ways to achieve this, but i think this will get you going Fade (Amit BS)

What about having two forms A (in MDI App) with different data? Which one will be called?

OK. Then throw out EVERYTHING about namespaces and System, System.IO, File.Exists... EVERYTHING. VB.NET is a VERY different language from VB6 and none of this stuff applies to VB6. Now, you'll have to use the FileSystemObject to see if the specified file exists. This will return either True or False, it doesn't throw any errors. Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If fs.FileExists("C:\\myTestFile.txt") Then . . ' The file exists... . Else . . ' The file doesn't exist... . End If To open a text file for sequential write, you'll use the Open statement (docs here[^]): Open "C:\\myTestFile.txt" For Output As #1 Print #1, "This is line 1" Print #1, "This is line 2..." Print #1, "This is line 3..." Close #1 RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

The Machine Debug Manager is a service that is running on your computer. It must be enabled and running in order for debugging to work. To re-enable it (in Windows XP), right-click on My Computer and choose 'Manage'. In Computer Management, expand the 'Services and Applications' node, then click on 'Services'. (An alternatice to this is to use Start->Run and type 'services.msc' on the execution line) From the list of services, browse until you find 'Machine Debug Manager'. Right-click, choose 'Properties', and set the Startup type to 'Automatic'. Then click Ok, and right-click on the service name again. This time, choose 'Start'. Now the service is running and is automatically started when your machine boots up. The debugging should work again. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

In that case, the licesing is screwed up and you have to refere to the Microsoft page I put in my first post. What you need to do is get ahold of MS Support as directed in that page and they'll send you a reg file that will correct the problem.
