Check out SharpZipLib[^]. To quote the author, #ziplib (SharpZipLib, formerly NZipLib) is a Zip, GZip, Tar and BZip2 library written entirely in C# for the .NET platform. If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it. Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850)

In VB you probably need an instance of the Acrobat View instantiated before calling the file. In vb.net, I just had to address this. Really the simplistic approach is to hyperlink to the filename.pdf file and it will open in your web form window...kind of automagically. I wonder if anyone can tell me a way to have it open in it's own window, or web form without writing javascript with a new window event firing...I mean open a second web form while keeping the calling web form open??

NotifyIcon[^] class documentation on MSDN. Comes complete with an example too. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

I sure don't want to walk him through that! ;) I've been through it once and didn't feel like doing it again.

Actually im taking 'LoginTime' and 'LogoutTime' Datatype 'DateTime' from "login" table and subtraction of this two field is strored in field 'TimeDiffrence' datatype varchar Query i m using is "convert(varchar(8),(logoutTime-loginTime),14)Timediffrence" now i want the sum of the field "Timediffrence"

I concur with hspc. There are about 20 options for formatting the date. Look at the help on convert in SQL which will give you the parameters and examples.
