Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
what type of server? webserver or lan server
if you only make small changes to the code it may only be necessary to copy the exe over the previous

Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
U need to change the connection string in which u need to specify data base server name. Run the application and make sure no errors are there. Save the application and create a package (Set up file).
I do give support to VB application by visiting to the concerned places.
Edit by admin: no contact info permitted on the forum, thank you

Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
Thanks for your response but as i told you my situation that i have only forms and modules so in this case how should i begin for editing the code.

Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
create a new project add all the existing forms then look for a connectionstring. change the data source name to ur database server name.

you will also need to add any references or components required for the forms or modules
you will get errors for any that are missing, you will then need to find and add
as the application is already running on the server, any connection strings etc, should already be correct

Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
Thanks a lot for your continuous support one more thing i want to ask that is there any way to find what are the components getting used or referenced in application .
-
Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
When you open your .vbp file using Notepad, you will see the references used.....
Example::
Code:
Type=Exe
Reference=*\G{00000205-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}#2.5#0#C:\Program Files\Common Files\system\ado\msado25.tlb#Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library
Reference=*\G{420B2830-E718-11CF-893D-00A0C9054228}#1.0#0#C:\WINDOWS\system32\scrrun.dll#Microsoft Scripting Runtime
Form=frmMain.frm

Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
as there is no project file you will just have to look for missing references or see what errors you get

I think going through the code, line by line, looking for the Objects created, will help him in identifying the references(to some extend)... :)

Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
Ok i found most of my missing references with your help but i am having problem with LVbuttons display so regarding this can u suggest me anything
-
Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server

if lvbuttons is a custom control, it may not b installed on your local machine, but should be registered on the server

Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
Those buttons and the status bar seems to be the problem...!!!
Have you downloaded the lvbutton.ocx...??? Link posted in post #15
(Due to the absence of that OCX file in the PC, that buttons seems to be replaced with pictureboxes.. That's why, it looks grey boxes... That's what I think...)
-
Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
yes i have downloaded that ocx and i am already having it also but still no progress.
-
Re: Need Help in Installing VB application on server
Copy and paste it to the system folder(Windows --> System32).
Then use Run (from Start menu). Type the following:
Code:
regsvr32 lvbutton.ocx
This will register that OCX file. Then, you will be able to use it in your program. :wave:
