Dave, Do I have to add the reference object in order to get these properties to work? Thanks, Bob

I have a vb.net program that writes a bitmap image to a file.. IE: C:\map\map.bmp I want to take that file and print it to a specific printer or multiple printers that is not the default printer in the printer menu. I do not want this to be interactive but automatic. Basically the program is a mapping application and I want a copy of the map to automatically print when the address is located. This is for a fire dispatching environment. Bob

This is the code as it stands right now... 'Updates the current dataset the datagrid is using Me.SqlDAFire_Cur.Update(Me.DsFire_Cur1) Me.SqlDAFire_Cur.Fill(Me.DsFire_Cur1) 'Rebind the datasource to the datagrid Me.DataGridFire.DataSource = Nothing Me.DataGridFire.DataSource = Me.DsFire_Cur1 Me.DataGridFire.Expand(-1) It does not expand the entire datagrid with the records though and since I would like this automated I was thinking of putting this into a timer event. Thanks, Bob

I would like to have a datagrid that automatically 'Refreshes' the dataset every time a new record is entered into the sql database. When I run the update on the dataset, fill the datagrid and use the expand statement, it does not fill out the rows. Any help / suggestions to achieving this is appreciated. Thanks! Bob Gronenthal

I have two monitors on two separate video cards and would like to display a form on the second monitor automatically when launched.

I have a vb.net program that is polling 911 data for new entries by a position number. When the user 'logs into the program' he/she puts the position number that they are at. I need the latest 911 data to populate there screen by position number. I am storing their logon entry as a public variable so that I can user it anywhere in the project to 'tag records' by them. I would like the select statement to use this variable to only retrieve the records for that position. Thanks, Bob

I am having a significant brain block... I am trying to take a string variable and use that as the criteria in a select statement to a sql 2000 database. I have tried the parameters collection in the data adapter but I cannot seem to get it to work. HELP.... Thanks Bob Gronenthal

Thanks Charlie. I made the Dims Public and it works that much better. Bob

I am trying to pass data between text boxes and can only get it to happen one-way. I have formA and open formB. Both forms are open and have textboxes on both. I can create a command button on formA to get the text from a text box on formB, but when I create a command button on formB to push the text back to formA it error out with no instance of object. I dim frm as formA and get to see the properties and controls of formA. Using a statement like me.frm.textbox1.text = me.formB.textbox2.text Any suggestions?? Rob
