Can someone please help me

What I'm trying to make a regestration window come up only the first time the user runs this program. so can someone tell me what i'm doin wrong?

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()

If fso.FolderExists("c:\dimas password\") Then
        Open "C:\dimas password\01.dat" For Output As #1
            Write #1, txtfn.Text, txtln.Text, txtcp.Text
        Close #1
                Else:
                    MkDir "C:\dimas password\"
                    Open "C:\dimas password\01.dat" For Output As #1
                        Write #1, txtfn.Text, txtln.Text, txtcp.Text
                    Close #1

End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
SetFormPosition Form1.hwnd, vbTopMost
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If fso.filexists("c:\dimas password\01.DAT") Then
    Form1.Visible = False
    user32.Visible = True
End If
End Sub

---

Public sfile

Private Sub Form_Activate()

'SetFormPosition Form1.hWnd, vbTopMost
Dim FSO As Object

sfile = "C:\dimas password\01.dat"

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If FSO.fileexists(sfile) = True Then
Form1.Visible = True
user32.Visible = False
Else
Form1.Visible = False
user32.Visible = True

End If


Set fs = Nothing


End Sub

you know how you labeled it part one, is there a part 2? cause it doesn't work

Why use a Flat File? why not use the Registry, i.e.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim sPassword As String

    sPassword = GetSetting(App.Title, "Settings", "Password", "")
    If Len(sPassword) Then
        'Password Found, Verify it...
    Else
        'Show Registration Form
        frmReg.Show vbModal
    Endif
End Sub

---

I labeled it part 1 cause it is only the code from
your form load event.

I didn't look at the command button event because I figured
if you loaded the proper form you could take it from
there.

I'm not sure exactly what you are after.
the form load will load the user32 form if your password file doesn't exist and it loads form1 if the password file exists
what do you want to happen?

There is no password the 3 text boxes are:

First name (txtFN)
Last Name (txtLN)
Company (txtCP)

And the first time ever when the program starts, it asks for that information, and stores it in a file

then when the program starts again (second time), it doesn't ask for that information again, cause its already stored, do you know what I mean? if not, I could reexplain my self.

By the way the code that you gave me above doesn't, work, it always goes strait to the other form, (yes I have checked to make sure that I dont have those files on my hard drive)



and to Aaron... Before I finish the program, I'm gonna put several layers of encyrption to it, and put it in the WINDOWS folder, and make it have a diffrent extension

I tested it before I posted it and I tested it again.
it returned false and opened user32
I add a folder..dinas passwords and saved 01.dat
it returned true and opened form1

(I put the ' infront of the code that I wasn't using)
oh yea, the form the the textboxes is form 1

---

this opens and writes to a file if the form1
comes up...if the file is there it goes to
user32 form...tested it and it's ok..
check my code I changed the name of one of your
text boxes to lower case to match the rest..






Option Explicit

Public sfile


Private Sub Command1_Click()


'If FSO.FolderExists("c:\dimas password\") Then
Open sfile For Output As #1
Write #1, txtfn.Text, txtin.Text, txtcp.Text
Close #1

Command1.Enabled = False
txtfn.Text = ""
txtin.Text = ""
txtcp.Text = ""

' Else:
' MkDir "C:\dimas password\"
' Open "C:\dimas password\01.dat" For Output As #1
' Write #1, txtfn.Text, txtln.Text, txtcp.Text
' Close #1


End Sub




Private Sub Form_Activate()

sfile = "C:\dimas password\01.dat"

'SetFormPosition Form1.hWnd, vbTopMost
Dim FSO As Object
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If FSO.fileexists(sfile) = True Then
user32.Visible = True
Form1.Visible = False
Else
user32.Visible = False
Form1.Visible = True

End If


Set FSO = Nothing


End Sub

ok, 2 things......
1. its not in, its LN

2. I still have a problem, the yellow arrow shows to this:

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Public sfile


Private Sub Command1_Click()


'If FSO.FolderExists("c:\dimas password\") Then
--------------------> Open sfile For Output As #1
Write #1, txtfn.Text, txtln.Text, txtcp.Text
Close #1

Command1.Enabled = False
txtfn.Text = ""
txtln.Text = ""
txtcp.Text = ""

' Else:
' MkDir "C:\dimas password\"
' Open "C:\dimas password\01.dat" For Output As #1
' Write #1, txtfn.Text, txtln.Text, txtcp.Text
' Close #1


End Sub




Private Sub Form_Activate()

sfile = "C:\dimas password\01.dat"

'SetFormPosition Form1.hWnd, vbTopMost
Dim FSO As Object
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If FSO.fileexists(sfile) = True Then
user32.Visible = True
Form1.Visible = False
Else
user32.Visible = False
Form1.Visible = True

End If


Set FSO = Nothing


End Sub

add this to the top of the command1 event
I know, you shouldn't need to but hey
give it a shot...It works for me so it must be
some little thing...

sfile = "C:\dimas password\01.dat"

what reason comes with the yellow line

sorry it takes so long in between, I'm at work and
flipping back and forth...

Ok..got it...because you have code commented out
you are trying to open a file for output when the
directory doesn't exist...
I deleted the dir on mine and got the same
problem yellow line on open..make sure the dir
exists before creating the file to put in the dir.

where do I put the dir?

ok, I get it, now lets go back to the beggning, how do I make it check if the directory is already there, and if not, then create it

''complete package...

Option Explicit

Public sfile


Private Sub Command1_Click()

'SetFormPosition Form1.hWnd, vbTopMost

Dim fFSO As Object
Set fFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")



If fFSO.FolderExists("c:\dimas password\") Then
Open sfile For Output As #1
Write #1, txtfn.Text, txtln.Text, txtcp.Text
Close #1

Command1.Enabled = False
txtfn.Text = ""
txtln.Text = ""
txtcp.Text = ""

Else:
MkDir "C:\dimas password\"
Open "C:\dimas password\01.dat" For Output As #1
Write #1, txtfn.Text, txtln.Text, txtcp.Text
Close #1
End If

Set fFSO = Nothing

End Sub




Private Sub Form_Activate()

sfile = "C:\dimas password\01.dat"

'SetFormPosition Form1.hWnd, vbTopMost
Dim FSO As Object

If FSO.fileexists(sfile) = True Then
user32.Visible = True
Form1.Visible = False
Else
user32.Visible = False
Form1.Visible = True

End If

THANKS ALOT, IT WORKED

I guess we posted at the same time or whatever.
that complete one doesn't have the check for
directory..give me a min or two and I'll send it
up to you...

'add this function and use this new command1 event
'it cuts down on wated code...

Public Function DirExists(ByVal sDirName As String) As Boolean

Dim sDir As String

On Error Resume Next

DirExists = False

sDir = Dir$(sDirName, vbDirectory)
If (Len(sDir) > 0) And (Err = 0) Then
DirExists = True
End If

End Function


Private Sub Command1_Click()

'SetFormPosition Form1.hWnd, vbTopMost

'if it's not there create it

If DirExists("C:\diva password\") = False Then
MkDir ("C:\diva password")
End If

Open sfile For Output As #1
Write #1, txtfn.Text, txtln.Text, txtcp.Text
Close #1

Command1.Enabled = False
txtfn.Text = ""
txtln.Text = ""
txtcp.Text = ""



End Sub

WOW, thanks alot, it really worked
