A few questions though. How could i use this in my program ( a screenshot link in in an earlier post) because I dont really understand some of the coding you used.

I like the print command, i have to figure that one out too.

With this dat file, is is possible to to have more than one saved at a time, and the user can choose to load one or create a new one?

I will fully comment the app tomorrow which will allow you to understand what I was doing a little better. You may have to go to an array of UDT to store your data while the app is running which isn't a major baggie to do. I can help you with the changes if you like. Just post your questions and I will try to help you out.

Sure, this can be done fairly easily also. Once again I can help walk you through it. I'm working on a LARGE database program right now so a break every now and then is a good thing.

Once I get the app commented, I will replace the one on the server and post a new note.

Till then,

Hello,

OK, the second version is all done now:

Once you get that one, if you have any questions let me know.

Best,

Thanks once again.

I will look over the code now.

What do you mean by "it blew a gasket?"

im so confused

Hello,

Ok, when I wrote "it blew a gasket" I fas just being a little funny. It really means there was an error and to report the error to the user

Code:

---


myError:
  ' we blew a gasket
  ' tell the user what happened
  MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " please report this"

---

It could read as:

Code:

---


myError:
  ' we found an error....
  ' tell the user what happened
  MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " please report this"

---

I hope that clears that up, is there anything else?

Best,

I want to stop a command midway through if something is not right.

What command can i use to do this?

kill, what?

What are you trying to stop? A print command? A file save or what?

Let me know ok,

when they choose what to save the file as, if the box is empty, it will stop the command after it finds an error message.

after is displays an error message, not finds one :)

Hello,

Do you have AOL IM?

If you do fire it up and look for me

rvasva

no sorry.

I have a message board at my site however.

This is the one we can use if you want

I was just hoping we could get a chat going it would have been much better, but we can work it out this way.

Ok Let me see if I have this right. Your trying to save the text file as something else and you've checked to see if there is a blank field or something like that. If you could post the the section of code you dealing with so I can see what your doing and then I can make a better recomandation.

It's kind of abstract right now and I'm not really sure what your try to do.

[CODE]
If Text1 = "" Then
Form6.Visible = True
Beep

I WANT TO KILL THE COMMAND HERE!

End If
sTemp = App.Path
If Right(sTemp, 1) <> "\" Then
sTemp = sTemp & "\"
End If

</CODE>

I cannot figure out how to incorperate this database thing into my program, as i dont want to save a database, but want to save a list of numbers and names and load them back up.

I want them to be able to load up theur choice, but this code only can save one. I am getting very confused.

Some of the modules are "way out of my league"

Ok we can do that

Code:

---

If Text1 = "" Then
  Form6.Visible = True
  Beep
  Exit sub ' leave the sub
End If

sTemp = App.Path
  If Right(sTemp, 1) <> "\" Then
      sTemp = sTemp & "\"
  End If

---

Try that

Well, if you would like I could see about rehashing your code to use the methods I have show you. If you would like to talk about this email me:
