Hello all, I have an attach button that open up so that a user may attach a file on a vb.net form using visual studio 2005. My question is how do I get the window to open up to the desktop to open a file. As of right now it is opening in my debug file. I just need it to open at the desktop first. Thanks a million. -- modified at 16:06 Thursday 4th October, 2007

Sounds interesting, could you say more about filtering on a column, I do not have the slightest clue as how to do this. Would it be done with SQL statement or in VB.NET code? thanks, Zach

thanks for your help

Thank you for elaborating, I am pretty new to this whole thing. But my question is still how do I loop through these cells(only in one column) to actually get the content of the cell into a variable string. I understand the logic I am just not sure on how to actually pull the content out of the cell for usage. thanks, zach

Yes, sorry about that, well as of right now I am getting the column heading as the value and what I is whatever is in the cell on that column. I was looking for somthing like: for each r as string in datagridview.column if r.endswith("Data") then 'the rest of my code will go here next thanks again

Hello all I have a datagrid that i need to loop through the column called TABLE_NAME and use all the cells that end with the word "Data". ANY help is appreciated. I have included a small snippet: Dim dt As DataTable = acc_connect.GetSchema("tables") GridView1.DataSource = dt GridView1.SelectAll() For Each r As DataGridViewCell In GridView1.SelectedCells Dim str As String = r.Value.ToString Dim i As Integer = str.IndexOf("Data") If Not i = -1 Then But this in no way works, thanks in advance!!!

I know this may seem easy for some of you and I hope that you can help me, so here goes. In VB6 there was an OpenDatabase function, well in VB.net there is no such function (even with the DAO reference). My other code is functioning off of VB6 that I converted to VB.net and the DAO reference and I do not want to re-work my whole project, anybody know a work-around or something???:sigh:
