Try setting the OleDbType of Punch to OleDbType.DBTimeStamp.
That will pass the date and time parts.
However, you should get into the habit of creating an ID column for each of your tables. This should be the Primary Key of the table. This ID will uniquely identify each row in your tables. Then, all you have to do is pass the ID number in the WHERE clause of your UPDATE and DELETE queries.
This is not only easier to read and control, but is more efficient since primary keys are always indexed. The index will be used by your DB engine to locate records much quicker and so will perform your commands with the highest efficiency.
I don't know if any of the other columns could be used as a primary key?
If so, since it is unique, all you have to do is pass that value so the DB knows which row to work on. The data in the other fields is irrelevant since all you need to do is identify the row to delete.

That worked like a champ. As for best practices in creating databases, I am certain that there are many issues with the design of the databases that I deal with, but I am not the developer and must therefore work with what I am given.
Thanks for your help. I was nervous about posting questions on here, but it was a great experience. Thanks again.

We have an application that stores a list of recipients from our Exchange server (5.5) in an SQLServer database. We use LDAP to get the list. No problem.
We are migrating to a new Exchange server (6.5) and I have not been able to determine how to get the recipients list.
Any help would be appreciated.

I can shell to wordpad, no problem.
I can open up a .rtf file from a subdirectory such as "C:\temp\filename.rtf"
I CAN'T open up a .rtf file from a subdirectory such as "C:\Documents and Settings\filename.rtf". I.E.: A subdirectory with a space in it. My line of code is:
--------------------------------------------------------
Shell("C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe C:\Documents and Settings\wordpadtest.rtf", AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)
--------------------------------------------------------
When I try that I get the error:
"C:\Documents
Cannot find this file. Please verify that the correct path and file name are given."
I can do something similar in Notepad opening up a .txt file with no problems.
Is this a bug?

Try this:
Shell("""C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"" C:\Documents and Settings\wordpadtest.rtf", AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)

Steve,
Thanks for the suggestion but same reply:
"c:\Documents
Cannot find this file.
Please verify that the correct path and file name are given.
Will tweak what you suggested though...see if something else comes of it.
Thanks again!

You may want to try:
Shell("C:\Documents and Settings\wordpadtest.rtf", AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)
The application set to open .rtf files as a default should execute.

Put quotes around the filename:
Shell("C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe ""C:\Documents and Settings\wordpadtest.rtf""", AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)
---
b { font-weight: normal; }
|
|
|
|
|
Actually got it running by doing the following:
Shell(Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" & Chr(34) & " " & Chr(34) & "C:\Documents and Settings\wordpadtest.rtf", AppWinSTyle.MaximizedFocus)
Thanks to all that replied to get this line of code punched out. 
|
|
|
|
|
Which gives the same result as:
Shell("""C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"" ""C:\Documents and Settings\wordpadtest.rtf", AppWinSTyle.MaximizedFocus)
However, you should use matching start and end quotes:
Shell("""C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"" ""C:\Documents and Settings\wordpadtest.rtf""", AppWinSTyle.MaximizedFocus)
---
b { font-weight: normal; }

Hi All
I am using MS SQL Serve 2000 as back end data storage. One of the column in one particular table is of type TEXT. Here the problem is I am not able to view the entire content of the column by any mean. I am storing a large amount of data in that particular column. Select query returns initial small portion of the stored data. Even if I open the table through Enterprise manager also I am not able to see. Moreover while saving if I trace it through profiler there also I will be able to view very small portion of original data. So can anybody sagest me, how can I view the data?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Krishnaraj

The Enterprise Manager and the Visual Studio debugger does not show the entire value, but your code have access to all the data. If you need to see the full value, output it from your program.

I have a app with a form that has a lot of controls on it.
when showing the form there can be a delay of several seconds which is too much.
I've narrowed down most of this time to the form's InitializeComponent.
i Could really use some helpful hints about how to improve performance.

Your best option is to lower the number of controls on the form. Controls are heavy-weight objects and creating large numbers of controls takes time. There's very little you can do to speed it up.
In the past, the only GOOD suggestion in cases like this is to rethink your interface. For example, do you REALLY need 50 buttons and 100 textboxes on a form? More than likely not. Break up your interface into multiple forms as logical containers encapsulating related chunks of your data.

Thanks for the reply.
The form unfortunately includes a Tab control with 7 tab pages on it, each of which has a bunch of controls. I could problably reuse most of the controls on the diffrent tabs, at the expense of lowering the readabillity of my code.
I dont have many options tho, the customer wants exactly the same app, just in .NET.
NB. Dont know if this info is important but, the code was ported from VB6 to VB.net and corrections have been made to make it work.

Michael Andersson wrote: Tab control with 7 tab pages on it, each of which has a bunch of controls.
Option - you could create the controls on the tab page dynamically when the page is first called. It'll mean more coding but would probably shave some time off.
Another idea would be to create a "Please Wait..." form which is a simple matter of creating a form with a progress bar control and a timer. It's just a simple way of keeping your user informed that your app is actually doing something.

Hi campbells,
Please check and confirm that you have declared db as a new connection, and when you pass a string into a database , use '[single Quotes] before and after a string ok. This might solve your problem, Again if you find problem, reply me
