hi,
You have Two Methods
METHOD I
If you need to change the size or orientation of a Crystal Report, you can do this in the VS IDE by right-clicking your report and navigating Designer >> Printer Setup. On the first tab, you can choose the paper size and orientation. Hit OK to return to the IDE, and the report canvas will automatically resize to what you just specified.
I don't recommend setting any of the advanced printer options in your report unless you know the people printing the report will be using the same printer (such as a network printer). Also, if you can't fit your report on letter (or A4 for the metric world), the user is probably going to have to change the paper in the printer, which will more than likely cause some grumbling.
METHOD II
You can also change the bottom Margin of the paper to your custom size that is for half the page(5.5")
you can do this in the VS IDE by right-clicking your report and navigating Designer >> Page Setup. Modify the margins.
HAPPY PROGRAMMING !

Hi murtuza,
I think Method II Works Great!!. You want to set the Bottom Margin to 5.5" and rest as by default.
HAPPY PROGRAMMING !

I have a big problem. I want to do my A-level and now I have to create a big presentation. My teacher had the idea for a topic: AI - artificial intelligence. But it's very difficult to find a structur for this subject and to include VB in my website I have to design.
In the internet I only can find definitions and those are very difficult to understand.
I need an idea urgently!!! How can I present AI in the right way, with examples (programming with VB) and in a way, that unkwowing people can understand????
Has someone a good idea????
thx

This is a big subject area. Why not pick a small area and do that rather than do a presentation on all of it.

Why must the website include VB? It isn't the best language with regards to AI.
When I was in high school (about 14 years ago now) we built a simple Expert System[^] (a kind of AI) using prolog. (See the link for more details about expert systems)

Hi All,
When i use the File.Copy (in an aspx page)to copy files between 2 computers(that has shared folders).(these copmuters can be different from the web server from which i call my page)
Example:-
File.Copy(Path.GetFullPath("\\servername\sharedfolder\test.bmp"), Path.GetFullPath("\\servername\sharedfolder\test1.bmp"))
the following exception occurrs:-
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file "\\servername\sharedfolder\test.bmp"
the folder is shared with full permissions...
i don't know what is the problem???
Any comment will be very helpful..
thanx

The folder is shared with full permissions to what account? Are your machines in a domain environment or workgroup?
Your web app runs on the server under, by default, the account ASPNET. This account normally doesn't have permissions to much else on the server, let alone other machines.
If you're running in a domain, then the account can be created in the domain and other machine in the domain will trust the account. All you have to do is give it permissions to the share/folder you want on the machine you want.
If your're running in workgroup, then each machine has it's own list of accounts and will not trust the accounts of another machine. In this case, you'll either have to give permissions to the Everyone or NETWORK group on the machine that is sharing out the files you want, or...
Create an account on the machine that is sharing out the files you want, give this account appropriate permissions to the share/folder, then rewrite your code to use this "machineName\Account" when it needs to login to the sharing machine and get at those files.
Also (almost forgot!), the ASPNET account on the server must also have appropriate permissions on the server where your copying these files to!

when i try to copy from local drive to this shared folder, the copy done successfully...so i can not undersatand why it can not read the file on thisfolder to copy from!!!!

Full permission to who? If you are logged in and copy a file it will be copied with your personal set of permissions. If you copy it within a webpage on the webserver you will copy it with the permissions set for the server. This is (as already mentioned) by default the user APSNET. So make sure that this user has the needed permissions to copy the file or configure the webserver to run under a different account.
I would prefer the first alternative.

Hi Dave and Robert
As u both said, i checked my sharing permission..and i was giving the logged client user the full permission not the APSNET user..
i add in the security tab the everyone user with at least the read permission and now i can copy the file..
thanx for your replies..
I will rate both of your msgs 5 
Shall i do anything else???
thanx

Hi,
Suppose that I have 10 string values that required to be used globally within my project. I learned that I have two ways to archive this one is by declare those 10 variables as public const, another one is to use only one public collection.
what are the nuts and bolts between these two? which one is better than the other one?
Thank for your help.
Good bye,

i just responded to someone with a question much like this over in the asp.net forum. Here is a link:
Here[^]
Assuming that your 10 strings are related in some way, you could create an object to hold those values as properties. This would give you a single place to make changes in the future if something were needed to be changed for these variables, vs searching your entire project for the var name.
Not sure if your looking for a web solution or not, but either way, the object idea would work in your case no matter the type of application.
btw, I am not a fan of the 10 public constants at all.

Hi Ppl,
I would like to know if it is possibe to restrict (Key in) the number of charcters in a col for the DBgrid.
Like in MSFlexgrid I could restrict the length of the textMatrix in the Keypress event.
Is this possible in the DBGrid.
Tnx

I am creating several instances of a form. The problem is that I would like to update a few things before the form is shown. It seems that any reference to the new form causes the Form_Initialize and Form_Load functions to get called. Any ideas? PostIt is the form in question...
[code]
Private piPostIt() As New PostIt
While rcsMemo.EOF <> True
iIndex = iIndex + 1
ReDim Preserve piPostIt(iIndex)
Set piPostIt(iIndex) = New PostIt
If rcsMemo.Fields("Graphic Note").Value = True Then
piPostIt(iIndex).chkGraphic.Value = 1
Else
piPostIt(iIndex).chkGraphic.Value = 0
End If
If piPostIt(iIndex).chkGraphic.Value = 1 Then
piPostIt(iIndex).pbPostIt.Picture = LoadPicture(rcsMemo.Fields("Memo BMP").Value)
Else
piPostIt(iIndex).tbPostIt = rcsMemo.Fields("Memo Text").Value
End If
piPostIt(iIndex).Top = rcsMemo.Fields("StartupTop").Value
piPostIt(iIndex).Left = rcsMemo.Fields("StartupLeft").Value
piPostIt(iIndex).Height = rcsMemo.Fields("StartupHeight").Value
piPostIt(iIndex).Width = rcsMemo.Fields("StartupWidth").Value
piPostIt(iNumPostIts).Show
rcsMemo.MoveNext
Wend
dbPostIt.Close
[/code]
Thanks,
Tim

Make the things you want to modify into public properties, set these properties after you have initilized the instance of the form (i.e. after you have called the constructor):
Dim newForm As New MyForm 'Initilize will be called here
newForm.MyProperty = "Something"
newForm.Show
Hope this helps

Hi there,
Unfortunately I am an absolute beginner with programming.
My goal is to create a simple password interface to validate users access to specific folders on my PC.
Another thing I should mention is that I am using "DesktopX" to create it.
DesktopX is a program which allows me to implement both VB and Javascript into my projects.
I have already designed and created the Main Interface which consists of an animated image as the background.
Then I have incorporated ActiveX controls to create an Edit control where the user can enter text.
Next I incorporated a push button control - so after the user has inputted their password they can click on this 'validate' button.
So how do I make my interface check the password that the user has entered?
I have looked at various validation control and Edit control articles but I cant seem to find out exactly what I need to do!
I looked through the list of avaliable DirectX options but cant see anything that says validation or similar?
I am able to assign an Event "on pushbutton click"
And then I think I may need to implement specific code or something?
Please, - Nothing too complex like advanced encryption algorithms at this point as I am an absolute beginner!.
Thanks,

Hi all:
I'm trying to understand the relationship of datasets, connectors, and data adapters better.
What I'm attempting to do is read a small XML file which exists on a local machine into a datagrid. So far I've able able to create dataset based on a schema which populates my grid with the elements into the header row. However, I can't figure out how to get the contents of the file into the rows.
I'm confused by what I've read. On one hand it appears I should be able to use the XMLRead object to populate the grid. On the other hand, it seems that I need to create a db connection and data adapter, which seems to be a clunky way to load a local file into the datagrid.
I do need to able able to update, insert, and delete the row in addition to just viewing them.
TIA for any help/advice/tips

Does anybody know how to emulate the Selection Block found in word and Visual Studio using Visual Basic .NET 1.1 for a RichTextBox control?
Word and Visual Studio have a feature where you use the <alt> key in conjunction with the the left mouse click. As you hold the alt key and drag the mouse you are allowed to select multiple columns across multiple rows. I would like to replicate this feature in a application I am writing.
Thanks..

Hi!
I use the beginread() method to read data asynchrounously from a networkStream.In the documentation says that the callback method will run in another thread, and so it happens.The thing is that after the callback function ends (if i do another beginRead() or not) the thread doesn't terminate, it just stays there and if there is another async. read the same thread will respond.(different networkstreams with different threads). Shouldn't the thread terminate?If not how do i end it.
When i use delegates and beginInvoke() for each call the respective thread terminates and another different thread will run the callback function, after a new beginInvoke...but when i do this with beginRead and EndRead it doesn't happen.
Is this correct or am i doing anything wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Oops.After all the thread also stays there in the list but the threadpool says that there is no socket taken...shouldn't the thread leave the thread list (in the VStudio thread list) after it terminates?
