here is the error she gets: Application has generated an exception that could not be handled. Process id=0xd88 (3464), Thread id=0x67c(1660) I know its failing on the first procedure where the ado is referenced, as I put in some messages that would tell her how far she got in the application. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Stephanie :)

Hi, I made my (first ever) install pack using the package and deployment wizard. A friend tried to install it on XP (I have XP too). She installed the mysql driver by hand (just in case for now), and we made sure she had the correct MDAC installed (v 2.7). The install appears to go alright, but when running it it fails when on referenceing the ado. Anybody got a clue? Thanks! Stephanie :)

thanks - will have a read :)

dang, but how do I execute it during install? Thanks, Stephanie :)

Sorry - I am blonde here, and making my very first install pack ever. I need to include the .net framework in my install pack somehow, without having to include the entire 25mb file. I am using the package and deployment wizard - and I am completely at loss. Also, I need to include the msxml4.dll, but this does not want to register in my install pack. Anybody any suggestions on this one? Thanks, Stephanie :)

no worries, seems to work a treat now - thanks!!! what I did wrong was, I started the thread after intialising it, and then calling the procedure afterwards. So I had a thread running, and another one running the procedure in the 'original' thread - silly me!!! :)

Just a question, I have now set this up to run a different thread as you said. I made different classes to do the submission and the controlling in the same project. In debug mode it does not appear to run on a different thread ie the timer does not tick (but also, the form does not show 'not responding' in the titlebar anymore). Is this going to be different when its not running in debug mode? Thanks, Stephanie :)

Thanks!!! Will try this :)

thanks! do you have any code examples of this? I have not tried doing this before - but herard elsewhere this would work. Stephanie :)

Hi, I have a form in which I run http requests (this one can take a while to complete). For this I use a component that basically waits untill the request is complete. Meanwhile, my form appears 'crashed' even though its not. The title bar shows 'not responding' as well. I wish to have a live update on the form as to what requests have been completed - as there will be a few. Does anybody have any suggestions to how I can do this the best (and easiest)? Thanks, Stephanie :)

Hi, hope the subject was not confusing, but it sums up what I am struggling to do. I have a richtextbox which contents has to be send as an http post request. Not all characters are sent through. I have been using a url encoding component, so all characters are properly 'http safe'. So.....I am now stuck with that it may be the richtextbox? Could this be? I am saving the contents as a string and sending this on. Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can crack this? Its doing my head in :( Thanks! Stephanie :)

I realised that just after I posted......I confused it with the vb6 Toolbar..... I am too used to .net now, I have forgotten vb6 ;) ! :)

hey thanks! Works a treat (and easier than in VB6 once you know!) Twins? I've got one only, and thats more than enough work.....but then again I am only one to look after him! Congrats!!! Stephanie :)

Hi, I am trying to add some devider lines in my context menus. There does not appear to be a 'devider' item as in VB 6. But I am probably blind...... How can I add these? Thanks, Stephanie :)

thanks, not sure whether this would work........as its a cgi script I am sending the data to using the browser component. It wants the variables in pairs: var1=value1&var2=value2 (....etc) if I convert this to bytes, wont the script need to reconvert it? I am not sure, but I think the problem lies in the special characters which the browser wont accept....... Stephanie :)

thank you thank you thank you!!!! :D I somehow knew there would be an easy solution, and there it was :)

Hi, I have a VB.net application called...ehm....."WindowsApplication2" which I'd like to rename. Preferably without having to rebuild it, as I had to do this once already (and forgot to change the name to something suitable) and it was a pain to do. I seem to have tried every 'option function' out there, but could not see anything called 'rename application'. Is there an easy way to do this? Or am I doomed to end with a windowsapplication.exe? Thanks, Stephanie :)

Hi, I am using the shdocvw to post data to forms in VB.net. This has worked really well to send one or two word fields. Now I have a textarea in the form. On the website you have to fill in this form and tick whether its html or text. The result is then emailed to you. If I send this via code and this is text, the linefeeds and control linefeeds have been cut out - ie all squashed together. If I send this in html it does actually sometimes work, but more often it comes through blank. Do I need to encode this? How can I do this? I presume there are characters that are illegal? Any push in the right direction would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Stephanie :)
