I used menuEditor to create the tab File with Open command...what is the correct syntax for Open...to open up the windows dialog box to select file, then store that file?

haha, thanks... try to use more than one paragraph..

sounds like i need stored procedures from him first before i can do anything and i need to know what the DB is to connect to it first!

ok, my question is, if i'm making a simple gui interface that will be connected to the DB, and if someone else is writing up stored procedures, do i use the stored procedures statements in my code?...

yes, i want that. But i've changed my form so there are two options. I have added from menu Editor, the "file" so that i can go to open and select the file i want to store. So with this GUI...

is this the same as inputting to the textbox? i created a form with combo boxes and textbox. when the program runs, the textbox should be a field for input. is this the same?

i guess nobody understood my question?? :ehh:

hi, there are some things i'm confused about. Stored procedures when it comes to making a gui interface using VB..what are they, how do they work. I believe they are (in this case) like macros you...

Hack,
i found these articles, it seems like it might be a combination of what i need to do too but it's too confusing for me to understand...it probably makes a lot of sense to you.....

is there anything special i need to to on the textbox? cause i've used a textbox to show log files or status dialog but never to use as a copy paste area..

Let's say i have a list of files that i'm copying from somewhere else, doesn't matter where...but i want to paste this list of files onto my GUI , on a field (this is where i need help). So my...

Pretty new at making GUIs, and i know this is probably pretty easy... i want to make a field on my form that will let me copy files from somewhere else and paste this list of files onto this field...

hi, yes, still here...don't know why but i am looping thru each file , setting it to normal..then every file is changed to 32...archived...but it's not been modified...why is that? thanks..

i am trying to set every file to normal initially like this:

SetAttr sourceDir, vbNormal

but i get an error..i am doing something wrong..

i want files that were modified (existing files with diff modified dates from last date) , but yah, i see O is normal, 32 is archived..let me try it.. thanks David.

do i need to do all of this if i just want to find out if file is modified? i see most of these examples in msdn.com site but i am still a bit lost.. :( Let's say...i want to go through files in a...

dglienna, can you elaborate, i am confused on what you said. you're talking about archive bit? how do i attain that in properties? thanks..

yah, i was reading that, i'd need the other guy to test it first before i know, but do you see anything wrong w. my code?

Anyone ever get this error ?

Run-time error '-2147221231 (80040111)':

i believe i need to loop through these text files and save each line to an array and then compare the two arrays, write to the delete.txt.

what i mean is, i need to read through both of the files (which i have done in the code) - today and yesterday to compare what's in yesterday but not in today to determine what to write to delete.txt...

i might be doing something wrong but it only goes through it once , so it lists just one file. And yes, it got rid of the " " around the filename with "append", so that's good.

I've looked at some examples of this kind of question in this forum but it is not quite working for me... I have a folder and i need to get all the files in this folder written onto a text file....
