Hey
If a file on a network drive is already opened by another user is there a way in VBA to determine the name of the user and report this back?
If so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

Using purely VBA, no, it's not. You'd have to convert the C++ code in this[^] article to get this kind of functionality.
Standard Question #1 when confronted with a situation like this: Is this "feature" worth the cost in development? I doubt it.

is there any event that gets raised when i right click any item in the window explorer?

No events get fired in your program when something happens outside your program, unless you have some sort of windows hook running.
You can most certainly write a program that causes some files and folders to be inaccessible, but it's not remotely secure, people will just find your program and turn it off. It would have to be a windows service.

U mean with the help of windows services i can do this task?????

I honestly think you need to refer to some beginner material for a while, you're obviously being provided with information that's beyond you.
Yes, a service could concievably hijack the way people interact with windows explorer with regard to opening files. I'd imagine it would be hard to make it foolproof ( for example, if you typed a path to a file or folder into the command window, I'm not sure how you'd stop that ), and it would be easily defeated. I still think you're wasting your time.
Having said that, there seem to be a number of commercial products that do exactly this, so I have no idea how comprehensive they are, but I'd guess that they do what this[^] talks about, and what I said to you earlier today - you can password protect files and folders by keeping them in a password protected zip.

No, you can't. As Christian said, to get around your "security server", it's simply a matter of disabling it in the Services manager.

Hi,
How to use callbacks in VB 6.0. In other words, how to use pointer to functions in VB 6. My requirement is as follows
I am importing a function from a dll as follows..
Public Declare Function MyFun Lib "MyDLL.dll" Alias "_MyFun" (...
This is will take 2 arguments. first argument should be a pointer to another method which I have declared in my application.
for this, can anybody please give me the signature of the declarations and calling.
Please give me the sample code if anybody have.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi! All,
My Vb application is downloading files from a ftp site and while dowloading it hangs apparantly but it is dowloading the file in background. When I see in task manager it shows application 'not responding'. Please help me to come over this problem of application hang and tell me how to display status message (Which my application shows in normal status) in this condition when application is hang.
Looking forward for your co.operation.
Thanks and Regards,
Virendra

You need to download in another thread, so your UI remains responsive.

I don't know of any way of applying a password to a file or folder. I know you can password protect a zip.

Hello Christian Sir,
can i do this thing programatically.
Actually i need a start.Perhaps this may guide me to little proportion to reach the destination.

I am pretty sure you've not understood me. A zip file is a specific file format, and the zip format requires a program to open it. This file format supports passwords, so you can create a file which is password protected. Actually, I suspect some Office files may support this also. But, you can't create a .txt file and put a password on it, or put a password on the folder where you keep your porno. The file system does not support it.
As Windows doesn't support creating password protected zips, I am certain you need a third party library to do it in code.

It's going to look up the file association in the registry to figure out what program to open it with, and then pass the path to the file as an argument to that executable.

Sir, I need that registry path from where all these processings begin.
can u please provide?

Does google not work where you live ?
The file extensions are under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, look at it in regedit. Not surprisingly, it's a whole hive, not just a couple of keys, given that they handle every file extension that you can double click on, on your whole computer.

Are you thinking of redirecting that association to a security utility to supply the password support?

Is there a way in VB.Net 2005 Express Edition to get the version of windows? I know how to get like Windows NT 5.1 and all that but I want it to say like Windows XP Home Edition or Windows 2000 Server for example.
Thanks,
Adam

You can find everything you need with the System.Environment object.

Why are you developing one now ? I assume it's paid work, so why do you insist on relying on free resources ? If you're being paid, your client deserves that you look for the best resources, not the best free ones.
Having said that, your best resource is your client, they are the ones who have to provide you with the business rules they want to see followed. If they just want run of the mill accounting software, they should buy MYOB.
