Should i use WSH, WMI, BAT? Any recommendations there? Thanks, Taen Karth

Thanks again that did it!:-D Thanks, Taen Karth

So how would I accomplish this task? or is there a better way other than RTF for saving and readin formatted text Thanks, Taen Karth

To filter use a DataView. You could say something like this: DropDownList2.DataSource = DataSet.Table3.DefaultView DropDownList2.DisplayMember = "CustSiteName" But, since you have the tables related to each other I don't think filtering is neccessary. Instead set it up like this: DropDownList2.DataSource = DataSet.Table3 DropDownList2.DisplayMember = "CustSiteName" Since Table3 is in a relation it will show the proper records in DropDownList2 Also, I think you could elliminate Table2 and have CustID in Table3.

The reason I use the RowUpdating event is that this event occurs just before the parameters are populated and the GridView control updates the row. For example, the GridView control uses the SQL datsource defined as below: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" Runat="Server" UpdateCommand="..." ... <UpdateParameters> <asp:controlparameter name="NComplete" controlid="GridView1$ctl02$ddlNComplete" propertyname="SelectedValue"/> ... </UpdateParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> The sample code for the RowUpdating event handler looks something like: protected void GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e) { ControlParameter parameter = (ControlParameter)SqlDataSource1.UpdateParameters[0]; int index = e.RowIndex + 2; parameter.ControlID = "GridView1$ctl0" + index + "$ddlNComplete"; }

Bertrand Le Roy developed a great refreshable panel control in his series[^] of the Client Callback in the ASP.NET 2.0. You might want to have a look at it to see how to use the custom panel control with the GridView control. To refresh the GridView control every 30 seconds, you need to place a snippet of javascript the content page to use the setInterval[^] method.

You pick the page you want to post back to. Works like the old action paramater of the form tag. E=mc2 -> BOOM

You can't SetFocus to a control until the form is displayed (i.e. active). If you want the control to have the focus when the form is initially displayed, set the control's TabIndex property to 0 (zero). ...Steve

did I mention you are the man! hehe I completely forgot about AddHandler. Your code led me in the right direction. I extended it of course and put it in a module but it works great. Once again thanks for the heads up! Thanks, Taen Karth

Nevermind I figured out a way to work around it by using the following code. Try If tsbBold.Checked = False Then tsbBold.Checked = True For Each ctl As Control In TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls If TypeOf ctl Is RichTextBox Then Dim rtb As RichTextBox rtb = ctl Dim selBold As New Font(rtb.Font, FontStyle.Bold) rtb.SelectionFont = selBold End If Next ElseIf tsbBold.Checked = True Then tsbBold.Checked = False For Each ctl As Control In TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls If TypeOf ctl Is RichTextBox Then Dim rtb As RichTextBox rtb = ctl Dim selNotBold As New Font(rtb.Font, FontStyle.Regular) rtb.SelectionFont = selNotBold End If Next End If Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "An error has occured. Please try your selection again") End Try If there is a better or easier way please let me know. Thanks, Taen Karth

Nevermind I figured it out. I added TabControl1.SelectedTab = newTab Right after TabControl1.TabPages.Add(newTab) 'Add new Tab Page to tab control Thanks, Taen Karth

No ideas? Hmmm.... Taen Karth

Yes I'd love to see what you have so far, and maybe I can be of some assistance. I'm always looking for new challenges. Also, I have been looking for an excuse to use VS.Net 2005, but I have been a bit lazy and out of ideas. (Too many brain cells used at my real job. lol)
