time zones and all other regional settings are the same on both machines.

When formatting date from a database it's returned as: "2004/01/01 14:30", which is correct. But when run from a different machine the time is messed up. Displayed as "02:30". Checked regional settings on both machines and they match and formatting the time in .NET doesn't work. Can anyone help? :mad: :mad:

i re-installed the entire oracle client package in mine worked after that

oracle client is installed already, that's why i'm so confused that the dll is missing.

Hi I'm trying to use a oracle connection in my vb.net web app, but get the following error message whenever i try to view the page: Unable to load DLL (oci.dll). Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL (oci.dll). Source Error: Line 215: Line 216: DBConnection = New OracleConnection(ConnectString) Line 217: DBConnection.Open() Line 218: Line 219: Return New dbDataReader(Source, DBConnection) I'm obviously missing somethinbg from oracle but what do i need to install. i installed the entire oracle package on another machine and the dll was there, but i don't want to install the whole damn thing. i just want to install the stuff i need

great tutorial thanks

I'm busy with a app that needs to call a sub in a DLL to which I don't know the name. In other words, the DLL name will be supplied in a registry setting and the app will then need to call a sub in that DLL. Sort of like a plug-in. The problem is that I can't reference the DLL because I won't know the name of the DLL until run-time. Is this even possible?

try putting code in the password's onkeypress event if the key being pressed is "enter" then call the button's onclick event.

use a url with the report name included(ie http://123.com/myreport.rpt) after the report name include the following &prompt0=var1&prompt1=var2 where promptX = the Xth parameter specified in report and varX = the value of the parameter if value not supplied then crystal will prompt for the value otherwise use the newer &promptex-VAR9=var1 VAR9 is the name of the parameter in crystal i've never used the latter before but i know for a fact the first option works now if you click on the url it will open the report with the supplied parameters.

You can search for the file at http://www.google.com It should be on Microsoft's site as well. I normally use InstallShield to distribute my applications. InstallShield will interogate your project to find out what files are needed and then include them in the setup.

that exception occurs normally when you are referencing a object which has not been initialized, using the "new" command for example Dim col As Collection The above will not work because the object was not initialized. Instead, use the following: Dim col As Collection = New Collection() The first option will work with a extra line of code: col = New Collection()

this thread can be closed i've decided to use winzip's command line parameters and the just use a simple shell from vb thanks for the help though orbity, bit complicated. didn't have enough time to go through all of that

ok, i'm going with the winzip command line it's the easiest to use and it's free check http://www.winzip.com/xcmdline.htm for further info on using the winzip command line

you can search on google for zip controls but most of them require that you purchase the product after evaluation. a few good ones i found thus far is xceed(http://www.xceed.com) or chilkat. if you are looking for open source components try sharpziplib. unfortanetely it's a bit complicated to use. i also have the same problem which is why i know all this. i'm looking for a free component which is not so complicated to use. if you need something less complicated i'll make sure you find out about it as well

Does anyone know of any components I can use for zipping files using VB.NET. I tried searching on google but most of them did not work in .NET. The rest had a price.
