Just plucking at straws but the error may occur if deMain is already loaded (e.g. not unloaded properly from a previous report???). Maybe you should look into creating a new instance of deMain each time you need a report.... If this isn't where you are receiving the errors thenignore my post :) Rhys Kirk

Hi, Is it possible to programatically access a Folder Properties...for example, A Folder can be shared on the network by right-clicking on it and going to the Sharing Tab. I want to be able to programmatically change/alter all options on the Sharing tab without right-clicking etc. I am yet to find any articles or sample that can do this so any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Rhys. Rhys Kirk

Rishabh, Before you go around branding people "idiots" perhaps you should find out what kind of an idiot you are talking to...A+, MCP, MCAD. It was a genuine mistake that I mis-read your post and your attitude towards my mistake clearly shows your intellect; as a result I shall not post the answer you require. I shall however point you in the direction of some website which might help you in your request; I do not see why I should answer your problem. http://www.planetsourcecode.com http://www.programmersheaven.com And please leave your childish comments for the teletubbies forums. :-D Kind Regards, Rhys.

Does anyone know a way to capture a process? What I need to do is when a link is executed capture the link from the process. If possible, to then stop the process before it is fully executed. I am running a utility which detects for links to other documents ete..I am using this utility to detect links in a certain program which cannot be found programatically through VBA( believe me i've tried! ). So the only other way I can think of is to execute the link, capture the process hopefully with the link and stop it before it fully executes. Any ideas???? Kind Regards, Rhys. Rhys Kirk

Hi, Place the listbox control on your form and give it a name. Then double click the listbox and you will be taken into the code window. At the top of the events window you have 2 drop down boxes; the right hand list is the events list. If you click on this list you will see that below "Click" is "DblClick". You now have the double click event for your list box. With regards to opening a form there are numerous ways, this simplist being "Form1.Show". You should do a bit of reading of books as there are many ways of doing this depending on your purpose.... Kind Regards, Rhys. Rhys Kirk

I have a really annoying DFS issue, which Microsoft are aware of and say will be fixed in Windows .NET, and wondered if anyone else has had problems with DFS and got any resolutions. The problem, briefly... Our local DFS rooter is not selecting our local DFS share when it comes to accessing files etc through DFS. That is not so much a problem and is bareable, however when we run an access database with a client front-end and the backend database on a DFS share, the speed is completely unbareable. Every time a query runs it appears as though the DFS rooter is enumerating through the DFS shares and picking one. This happens everytime you try to do something in the access database. Microsoft were not keen to help and the only solution they have is to map a network drive to a certain level in the DFS structure and use the network drive to access the backend. This works to a degree but in my mind defeats the purpose of DFS. Has anyone else encountered this? Or a similar situation? Many Thanks for reading this, Rhys. Rhys Kirk

Hello, Is it possible to programatically change a folders properties? For example, I have a DFS folder which is currently active on a particular server, I want to be able to change the active server to another without opening up the Properties dialog box. Can this be done in VB6? Or as another example, I have a folder "C:\Test" which is not currently shared. Can I programatically change the folders properties so that it is now shared(providing I pass all the correct info) without using the Properties dialog? My reason is we run on Win2K machines with some 'lockeddown' machines. Certain tabs in the Properties are not viewable to the 'lockeddown' user but I would like to change some settings every now... any ideas or help is appreciated. Rhys Kirk
