You're on the right track; you just need to expand on your pseudocode. Perhaps something like this:
-scan for *.doc files
-for each doc file
--get modified data
--create full path from concatenated data
--does directory exist?
---no: create it
--move file to directory
-end for each
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act

are you sure you want to categorize by date? That would make retrieval difficult if all you know is patient name or patient number.
How about dividing the lot you have now in folders according to say the first two or three characters of the current filename (so "smith john -20060415.doc" would end up in "sm" or "smi"). That would potentially lead to a few hundred or thousand folders. These folders would vary in the number of files they contain much more than your scheme, however this scheme would keep patient information for a single patient in a single folder, which any date based scheme does not.

Yes, it needs to be by date. The center that is requesting the archive DVD uses our software to pull the files from our SQL DB. The program they use has a listing of job numbers, and of the files, and other information, but we do not allow them remote access to them as they are from 2003-2006, and our cutoff is 01-01-2007.
They will be able to search the disk for the files using windows search, and we have yet to come up with a standard naming convention, so our office manager (not too tech savy) wants them in folders by year, 2003; 2004; 2005...etc and then by month.
So I'm just going with what he wants, but moving and creating folders for 15000 files is too time consuming, so I just need an app to do it for me.
between u, me, and the fencepost, I dont care how they use the disk, I just need to job done. lol.
I appreciate everyone's input. I'll be working on this tonight to get it out in tomorrow's End of Day, so stay tuned as I might need help with the code. ty all!

There is no "event" as you call it. AFAIK, there's not even a callback. I think you would have to enumerate the windows in the taskbar, keep a list of them, then enumerate them again every so often to see if the list changes. When the list changes, the know an app has been launched or has quit. The problem with this is that an app can run and end inside of the time you have for a polling interval. You'd never know an app was launched.

Thanky for your advise but what about messages?
when i use spy++ i get a lot of messages such as tb_cout(something like that)
how an i get them?

Probably by implementing either a GetMsgProc[^] hook or a JournalRecordProc[^] hook. Neither of which can be implemented in managed code (VB.NET or C#).

Hi,
using one or more external web sites is the only way I really trust for this to work reliably.
Have a look here[^].

The only way it works reliably is if you use a website external to your network.

That list is quite long, on the order of a few hundred files. Since it sounds like you never created installers for these applications, you're only real recourse is to reinstall Visual Studio 6. If you had created installers for these apps, you would just have to reinstall the apps, or run a Repair on .MSI installers, to replace the missing files.

Firstly be aware that I have never used VB6.
However, all previous versions of VB (v2.0 - v4.0) that I have used, required the run-time redistribution pack to be loaded on machines using apps written in VB. Therefore you might want to look at Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime Redistributable[^] page on MSDN.
If I am way off base, please ignore this.

If you are still using VB4 you are a little off base, otherwise all is fine.

Not still using, although I still have the Disks for VB3.0 lying about somewhere in a glass case labelled "In case of emergency, throw away"

Well, if the installer was written correctly, it should already have all the components it needs to run the app inside the installer. They should all be installed with the application. The only thing that would not be included would be the VB6 runtime. That's installed seperately.

Can we exclude designer.vb file in windows applications using Visual studio 2005?
|
|
|
|
|
The designer files are just code to create the form and it's controls and lay them out on the form. Why would you want to execute just that file?? To answer you're question, no, you can't execute just the code in that file. All the files for the form are compiled into a single object that has no idea it was created from multiple files.

He said "exclude", not "execute". (Or maybe he edited the post.)
