hello guys , i hope all is well and all is ok .. i have a question about paths etc , i want to set up a new .exe program that can display html pages from the hard drive. i know when i start a new project it creates folders and files. the project files , a bin and an obj folder. i wanted to make sure that my html pages are placed in a new folder say called "pages" that are on the same level as bin and obj. i know a little about web design so know that on the web i can use a local path such as ./pages/name-of-file.html i can get it to work by adding the complete path such as c:\folder\another-folder\file-name.html i can see a problem if i send the files over in a zip to someone they need to un-zip in the same folders on their pc as i have them set to , but if the calls for the files were local to the .exe then it wouldnt matter .. ok probably simple but cant see what to do so if someone can send me a few details it would be great. Kind Regards Carl

well i think i need to keep going the way i was , cos when i get the html by the way above i get a different page , it also says : turn your browser scripting on. :) cheers

cheers

Hello , a short description of what i want to do : a friend has asked me to try this for him.. i have this working on a manual basis , i.e using buttons and manually inputting product number so i am nearly there i input a number in a textbox ( item number ) then click browse button on application and the website appears in a axwebbrowser1 window i then click on a view source btn and can view the html in a textbox i can the sort and parce through the html to grab product info and image url etc i will store this in a database when i am finished :) the above works fine ... but the idea is to set a loop from 1 to say 100000 and have the pages entered automaticaly.... heres the problem tho: the loop goes way to fast and does not allow the web page to load before continuing to next step.. how can i enter a check so that everything stops untill the web page has fully loaded ? Kind regards Carl

Hello . I have used this line of code to open a new form : Dim frmdataform3 As New DataForm3() frmdataform3.Show() This works fine but i find if user re-clicks on the button another copy of the form opens , it allows several copies of the same form to be open ... How can i get it so that only 1 copy is to be open at any one time ? sort of like : if form open = true then dont open :) Thanks for help Regards Carl

Hello guys . I have a mysql database on a server , i need to know how to access this.. 1st it says "select or enter a server name" .... what do i put here? is it just the domain name or is there something else i need to add to this ? does it need to be a url to a section of webspace that handles the mysql ? like localhost or something ? 2nd it also asks for a user and password ? is this going to be the same as the FTP user/pass or is this the database user/password ? 3rd can i assume if i have the above details correct when i choose "select the database on the server" i should get a list of mysql databases available ? I realise i am probably asking very simple questions but its got me stuck :) Regards Carl

thanks for all the help ... right i have now done it so that it works just the way i wanted it to but i used a different method.... Dim nameoffile : Dim savetext nameoffile = "c:\affwiz\html\" & TextBox6.Text & ".htm" savetext = filesave.Text FileOpen(1, nameoffile, OpenMode.Output) Print(1, savetext) FileClose(1) Are there any benifits to using sugested methods?
