    I made it to the Dark Side finally!

    I think I had a phobia about starting an app from scratch, but lo and behold, it worked! It took a while to get things configured properly, and I can't use all the features with XP Home, I found out, but at least I'm moving ahead! w00t!

    But this was all done thru code. And check out the custom icon identifying the Net type!

    That's me. Untraditionally unique!

    Welcome to the Dark Side, but I'm not your father Luke.

    Yup, traditionally the Hello world app is done in a Messagebox and that icon is the standard default one. Overall score: 1.0 Boooooo! Jk

    How do you like it so far? Which version did you DL?

    Re: I made it to the Dark Side finally!

    I just installed the version I got a few months ago 2003 Professional. I created that app, from scratch and things were great. Then I converted a vb program, and things were good. Then I tried to have someone else run it, and things got bad. Something about a missing file. Chalk it up to trying to save some time and effort.

    I think everthing will have to be re-written, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I would have been nice if the wizard could perform his magic.

    On a semi-related note, I was trying to install MSDE and it gives me an error before it installs saying something about SAPWD option. It was too late for me to find it in the readme.txt, so I gave up on it.

    I have sql2ksp3.exe, and now I'm wondering if it is even the right thing to be installing.

    Any help on changing settings.ini? Right now it is blank, so I think I should add something to it.

    Isnt that (sql2ksp3.exe) just the service pack for sql?

    Ask Szlamany about the MSDE as I havent used it. Only SQL.

    MSDE downloads are available at MS...

    Here's a link to several MSDN sites...

    http://search.microsoft.com/search/r...&c=0&s=1&swc=0

    I've not personally installed MSDE - we have full blown SQL on our servers and developers edition running on our workstations.

    Thanks. I think I did have the wrong one. Now downloading MSDE2000A.exe to see if that is better. Things are awefull slow today, though.

    Re: I made it to the Dark Side finally!

    Hey, I actually started to pick things up, and they started to make sense!
    I was having problems with codebank stuff. In vb6 forums, you can download a project and it will work. Why isn't that the case in "Net? How to make something work also wasn't clear.

    It took me forever to figure out that (SEED) wasn't required. A few lines down, the seed value was supplied, but I tried to use SEED in a declaration and wondered why it didnt work.

    Re: I made it to the Dark Side finally!

    The book has Randomize, Rnd() and END!

    I couldn't believe that they included it with 2003 Pro, that they gave away to a lot of people. I guess they don't think anyone actually reads the manual

    Well, I guess I have to enter then..


    Code:
            #Check to see if the file sizes are the same..:)
            if len(remotefile1) == 0 and problem == 0:
                print "The file is zero length."
                error_log(lines + " - The file is zero")
                problem = 1
                          
            else:
                time.sleep(500)
    
    
    
                try:
                    remotefile2 = urllib.urlopen(remote_addr)
                except(IOError):
                     print "Something went wrong. Will try again."
                     sleep(3000)
    
                     try:
                         remotefile2 = urllib.urlopen(remote_addr)
                     except(IOError):
                         print "Something went wrong. Will try the last time."
                         sleep(3000)
    
                         try:
                             remotefile2 = urllib.urlopen(remote_addr)
                         except(IOError):
                             print "Was not able to find file on server at all."
                             error_log(lines + " - Was not able to find the file on the server.")
                             problem = 1
