you talking about smilies? there're plenty out there.. http://www.tag-board.com/smilies/smilies.htm http://www.mysmilies.com/ and more..

from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemDataOleDbOleDbConnectionClassTopic.asp An OleDbConnection object represents a unique connection to a data source. i feel you need to connect to a database and cannot just connect to Access.

While MyReader.Read Count += 1 End While Msgbox(Count) i am using the abovementioned code.. -ashrobo

Format(Today, "dd MMMM yyyy") will get you 13 June 2003.

for formatting of dates, take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbaac10/html/acproFormatDate.asp - ashrobo

Private Sub grdOrders_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles grdOrders.MouseUp for instance is longer than the width of an A4 page. hmm, i guess you are right Derek. cheers! ;)

oh you didn't? my eyes must be playing tricks on me when i saw "Can anyone give mi a rough idea on how to do...if possible please send mi a completed source code.." :-\

i'm sorry, maybe you can give a senario to aid understanding of the problem.

now that's confusing.. :confused:

how does the logic of your program go? 1) create an instance (frmSearch) of SearchFileRecord. 2) from it, create an instance of RetrieveFileDetails (frmRetrieve) 3) Get the values from frmSearch in frmRetrieve is that right?

from what i see, the null values are correct. here's what i think is happening. 1) you created an instance of SearchFileRecord 2) in that, you created an instance of RetrieveFileDetails 3) you created yet another instance of SearchFileRecord and attempted to get values from that, instead of that created in step 1).

why dont you paste your code here? im confused after reading your post..

sometimes, it's easy to read the code while coding, but when printing on paper, it wouldn't be that easy to read (when the line of code exceeds a line on the paper).

i wonder if anyone (except those from my school) bothers to break up a line of code should it be longer than the width of the page, i.e. taking up two lines for a line of continuous code. i've just printed out a piece of code and saw that VS uses a arrow to indicate continuous text. is it more readable with that or breaking up the codes with _ ? -ashrobo

and i thought only exam questions can be memorised.. and we all know, that wont get you anywhere.. -ashrobo
