I understand that you are doing all this visually in the designer?
You need to create a TableStyle for your grid. Look in the properties window for your grid, click the [...] ellipsis button and create a new DataGridTableStyle. Then, create a DataGridColumnStyle for each column in your grid. When you create these, you can set the 'Format' for each column. In the column that represents your 'punch' value, you will need to enter:
"g" in the Format property. This will set the display to 01/01/2006 01:01 AM
To get the value correctly into your delete query, pass the value to the punch parameter as:
PunchValue.ToString("g")
This will make sure the whole value is presented to the parameter.
Let me know how it goes!

Great, you are awesome. I just need a little more help with the syntax of where to put the PunchValue.ToString.
Me.OleDbDeleteCommand1.CommandText = "DELETE FROM TIME_POST_WORK WHERE (Clock_Nbr = ?) AND (Seq_No = ?) AND (PunchValue.tostring("g")(Punch = ?))" & _
""
I am trying to learn this stuff from a book, and I probably need to find a good instruction course, especially since my employer is willing to pay for it.
Thanks for you help again.

OK. The WHERE part of your delete query has three parameters, Clock_Nbr, Seq_No and Punch. Each one has a '?' placeholder.
After this line of code you should have some more code that supplies the relevant values for each ? placeholder in your query.
What code do you have for assigning these parameters?
Actually, each record in your table should have an ID column which is an automatically assigned unique ID value. Typically, you just need to pass the ID of the record to delete it. What type of DB are you using?

Here is the code generated by VB for the DELETE statement:
Me.OleDbDeleteCommand1.CommandText = "DELETE FROM TIME_POST_WORK WHERE (Clock_Nbr = ?) AND (Seq_No = ?) AND (Punch = ?)" & _
""
Me.OleDbDeleteCommand1.Connection = Me.OleDbConnection1
Me.OleDbDeleteCommand1.Parameters.Add(New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbParameter("Clock_Nbr", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.Integer, 0, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input, False, CType(0, Byte), CType(0, Byte), "Clock_Nbr", System.Data.DataRowVersion.Original, Nothing))
Me.OleDbDeleteCommand1.Parameters.Add(New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbParameter("Seq_No", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.Integer, 0, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input, False, CType(0, Byte), CType(0, Byte), "Seq_No", System.Data.DataRowVersion.Original, Nothing))
Me.OleDbDeleteCommand1.Parameters.Add(New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbParameter("Punch", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.DBDate, 0, System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input, False, CType(0, Byte), CType(0, Byte), "Punch", System.Data.DataRowVersion.Original, Nothing))
Most of my development involves a SQL database, but for the purposes of this application, I am using an Access database. The table that I am querying actually has 28 cloumns, and all three of the elements that I am SELECTing or DELETEing are set as primary keys.

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.

You are welcome! I'm pleased to help.
Most of the people that provide answers on forums like this, do so because they like to help people. You shouldn't be nervous. We all started somewhere and I often have need to ask questions myself!
Hope you voted for me! (Rate my answer)

Hi,
U can try the following 'CAST'
------------------------------
SELECT Clock_Nbr, CAST(Punch AS VARCHAR(20)), Seq_No FROM TIME_POST_WORK ORDER BY Punch

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.
Steve
|
|
|
|
|
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.
