I managed to get my control to show up finally, but it doesn't happen the way I want to. I had not actually added the control to the form's controls collection, but instead in the DataGridTextBoxColumn.TextBox.Controls. If I add the control to the form's collection, it shows up like it should. However, this is not the way I want to do it, since my form should only be aware of the columnstyles I use, and not of the controls they may use. I've written a new thread about this with a complete sample code that illustrates the problem. I hope you can help me! Thanks!!

Yes, that's not great code. In the most optomistic light, it looks like it might have been introduced during modification of the code (where it might have been used before the re-assignment). In the worst case, I would check if the variable instanceDS has a scope wider than the local procedure and make sure it is not used from within GetDataSetFromTables(). That would be REALLY bad. Also check that no other objects are affected from within GetInstanceDBDefinition(); it might be modifying some properties for later use(side effects).

I've just learned that Access can't handle batching of statements, whereas SQL Server (probably among others) does. In other words, another weekness of MS Access, which I'm terribly stuck with :sigh: Thank you for your comment anyway!

Thank you very much! I discovered your solution by trial and error, but I did not understand why. Now I now that there is something behind it. Again, thank you.

2 more ways: 1. use the second variable as an index instead, and define a constant buffersize. 2. use a static field to store offset info. top secret Download xacc-ide 0.0.3 now! See some screenshots

What I would like to do is to have Console.ReadLine read the obsolete information as if it was entered by the user and thereafter process keyboard input as usual. Like this: :>edit entry1 entry1: obsolete information_ In DOS, this could for example involve writing each character to the keyboard buffer. Can I force characters into an input stream or somehow modify the stream's underlying structure? While you could do the same things using the Console API via DLLImport, this would be a huge hassle, just to avoid doing a GUI. Usually, you use console applications where user interaction is not needed (e.g., batch files). You'll spend lots and lots of lines of code trying to emulate a textbox in a console application and you'll end up with a poor interface: all of this is already done, and with a better face. Yes, even I am blogging now!

I think the only way is to catch the exception, or verify the IP/hostname beforehand yourself. top secret Download xacc-ide 0.0.3 now! See some screenshots

Application.Exit posts the WM_QUIT message which signals to windows to shut down (note, that's "windows", not "Windows"). The application will ultimately exit.
