eow to everyone im getting much huck in programming can i find one person who can help me with it TNXX!!! Could you please rephrase your question because it is way to vague. Simply asking for help in programming is not enough. You will need to be more specific.
Do you need help choosing what programming language to learn?
Do you need to get better at a language you already know?
Etc.

And please make an effort at WRITING comprehensible sentences. I could barely UNDERSTAND your first post. lol i haven't been able to understand ANYTHING this dude says HHA

Hello everyone,

I want to know if I convert a file of any format such as mpeg,avi,doc etc into
its binary or hex file.

Can it possible to convert this binary or hex file into the original file?

if it is ,please tell me in which language?

thanks you all.I'm sorry but your question doesn't make sense to me.
All files on your computer is in binary. This is how they're stored on a hard drive. Software can then take these chunks of binary and translates them into documents, videos, pictures, etc. But the files are always in binary.
When you view a file in a hex editor, the editor is also making a translation. From binary base-2 to hexadecimal base-16. When you make an edit, the hex editor takes your base-16 input and translates it BACK into binary in ORDER to store the change to the file. In fact everything a computer does is in binary, it's the only language it understands.

But what exactly is it you're trying to accomplish? If you GAVE US some more details we might better be able to HELP you out.

How do you make a loop that will do something until say a CERTAIN key is PRESSED?its OK i SOLVED my own problem

I am going to disable the right click of muose button

With all the tools AVAILABLE on WINDOWS machines, I'm surprised to see batch code still in use.

Code: [Select]@echo off
set today=%date:~4,10%
for /f %%X in (date.txt) do (
if %today%==%%x goto play
)
goto forbidden

:play
start notepad.exe
echo Able to play
pause
exit

:forbidden
echo Unable to play
pause
exit

Date.txt: one date per line in your regional format. Based on your console output, mm/dd/yyyy

If you were planning on getting the date data from the web, there are techniques available in VBScript (free & installed on your machine already) or any of the other Windows Script languages.



PS. Actually I meant Powershell not the Windows Shell. Powershell is the cmd prompt on steroids. It is an optional download for XP. I was just curious if it came installed with Vista.Sorry, but that code doesn't work. He does FIND the file because when i put an invalid filename it says "Can't find X-file".
When i put one date in the date.txt, it doesn't work
When i put multiple dates in the date.txt, it (ofcourse) doesn't work either.

But a friend of mine got a solution for this, at least, he said that so the real question of this topic is answered. A lot of thanks for your quick and solid help.

The final solution to use dates in an if-statement in a batch-script:
Code: [Select]@echo off
REM sets the input-date to mm/dd/yyyy
set today=%date:~4,10%
REM put below the dates
if "%today%"=="01/09/2008" set td=g
if "%today%"=="09/01/2008" set td=g
if "%td%"=="g" (Goto play) ELSE (Goto forbidden)

REM matched date will start this
:play
start notepad.exe
echo Able to play
pause
exit

REM unmatched date will start this
:forbidden
echo Unable to play
pause
exit

PS. Well, as far as i know or searched, it isn't included with Vista.

hello everyone this is my second help thread here in this forum, after solving my first problem i hope you can help me solve this one too...
i bought my unit like a month ago, its a 6600 QuadCore 2.40 Ghz and 4GB kingstone ddr2 ram 8800 geforce (320/640mb) and till now it worked just fine...
lately it began crashing something like an hour after im playing age of empires 3 (dont know why exactly it happens, but ive checked it with several other games and it worked perfectly WELL)... anyways couple of days ago ive started getting this error EVERYTIME i turned on/restarted my pc:

today while trying to run every game in my pc, ive been getting a blue screen that shows what i wrote at the subject (Physical memory dumping ("IRQ_OT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"), right after i restarted ive been getting this error:

(in both upper windows ive pressed CLICK here for more details)
ive been looking for a solution at google for nearly 2 hours now, i dont know much about this things, so usually when i get an error i type it in google and find the solution, basicly ive found so many articles regarding to this subject, each one telling me a different thing (RAM problem, CPU overheating, graphic card driver problem which i updated btw and it still didnt work, dx problem etc etc...) anyways i dont know what to do, ive downloaded the latest windbg but i dont know how to use it, ive also downloaded +memtest but i dont have any floppy disks currently on me and im pretty unsure it wont fix it... ive posted my problem here since everywhere i went it said its a bug, i realy hope you guys can help me, thanks again for your time,

Most commonly it is the CPU overheating. A close second would be bad RAM.

i bought my unit like a month ago

i paid for 4 GB of ram and when i press properties in my computer it says i only have 3.24

i also paid for 500 GB hard drive and i noticed my drives combined make like 460 GB

i should try lowering the adapters mode hertz number

ATKKBService.exe is part of your nvidia video card. Maybe, you need to update its driver.

Quote

i should try lowering the adapters mode hertz number

Actually, I can see, you revved it up from 60 to 75MHz.

Your PC currently has the latest driver installed for your GPU

We're talking about two different things here....
You lowered your screen resolution from 1280x1024 to 1024x768.
At the same time, you increased refresh rate (frequency) from 60 to 75MHz.
Just to clarify....if it works, great.

Your PC currently has the latest driver installed for your GPU

Disregard the above. Just download, and install new driver.

I need to perform a stress test on usb flash drive
But i don't know how to start it.
My idea is write an automated program to let system copy FILE from hdd to usb,then delete it after store in usb,then copy another file from usb to hdd.
can anybody here help me this?
thanks.You'll need to fill in the filename.ext and use the correct drive letter for the usb drive, but this may help.

Code: [Select]@echo off
set usbdrive=i:\
for /l %%x in (1,1,99) do (
copy filename.ext %usbdrive%
del %usbdrive%filename.ext
)

If looping the code 99 times seems like OVERKILL, feel free to change it.



Note: As written, the code will copy the same file repetitively, just be sure to choose a file that fits on the drive.
does this program must run under dos mode(boot from usb bootable dos)?

the usbdrive is my flashdrive?which where it boot from?

the file.ext should PUT in hdd?The original script was written for the XP cmd processor. It will probably run under Win2000 and Vista.

I didn't know DOS supported USB but this snippet should run in all versions of MS or PC DOS.

@echo off
:loop
copy filename.ext usbdrive:\
del usbdrive:\filename.ext
goto loop

The yellow highlight is name of the file on the HDD. Use a fully qualified PATH if necessary.

The red highlight is the drive letter of the USB drive.

Oh YEAH, the script is an infinite loop. You can kill it with CTL-C.

Hello!!

I'm programming in C# and need some help.
There is one thing it this code that seems to be causing a problem.

This is a part of the code:

Code: [Select]DialogResult dlgRes = [color=red][b]null[/b][/color]
dlgRes = MessageBox.Show(
"Windows XP has caused an illegal operation and will now CLOSE.",
"",
"This is the normal behaviour of Windows. Please punch a hole in the monitor",
"and smash the keyboard to continue. If the problem persists, please set the mouse on fire.",
MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Error);
The word highlighted in red is the problem. When I look in the errors, it says ; expected. When I add the ; after the word, I get a whole bunch of errors that need to be fixed. I've being tinkering with the code all day and had no luck.

Anyone KNOW how to fix ??

Thank you.

P.S I don't want anyone complaining about what the dialog box says.I am not up to PAR with C#, being that I am a C++ GUY, but have you tried other conditions for this instruction other than NULL, possibly an inverse function that will perform the same output? Such as TRUE instead of FALSE and the conditions opposite of the arguement. I have seen before where it should work one way, and when you inverse the logic, whalla it compiles and is happy... Makes no sense as to why it doesnt like to compile and run straight forward, but by inverse logic it compiles and operates!

I just scratch my head and say ok,,, its working, lets move on to the next project! ha ha

DaveThanks for the reply. I'll try that ASAP.

I'm new to VB, and a buddy from WORK told me to download it and try it. So i did. Only problem is that i cant figure out how to start a new program?

If someone COULD point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. ThanksClick on File > New PROJECT and click on Windows Forms Application.
Type in the name for your project, and click OK.

Be sure to check out the MSDN Library.LOL. Thanks dairyman, I guess I should have been more detailed on my "problem".

What I meant was, how do I ACTUALLY open VB?

But I FOUND it. It was put in my start menu, (only place i didn't look for some reason) rather than on my desktop.

Thanks though.

I have another question about a BATCH file i made for backing up data. I want to set it so when executing the batch, it will prompt you to enter in the variable information in the command window. So at the moment there are 2 variables that would need to be entered as in the following script:
Quote

:: variables
set drive=E:\Backup
set backupcmd=xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /y
set PROFILE=c:\Documents and Settings\

I want to use a batch file to start 4 programs and I would like to create a log to show what date and time they where started. I can ge the programs to start and even have the log but this is what it looks like....

The current date is: Sat 10/20/2007
Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy)
The current date is: Sat 10/20/2007
Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy)
The current time is: 23:13:08.95
Enter the new time:
The current date is: Sat 10/20/2007
Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy)
The current time is: 23:13:08.95
Enter the new time:

How do I get it down to 1 date and 1 time?
Can I append the date and time to the log for record purposes instead of just the last time it was run?

Thanks in advance for your HELP.

richocki Please post your .bat file.Yeah I guess that would have helped... sorry about that

START /min C:\_internet\spywall\spywall.exe
START /min C:\_tools\winpatrol\winpatrol.exe
START /min C:\_tools\REGRUNSUITE\WatchDog.exe
START /min C:\_tools\StartupGuru\StartupGuru.exe
START /min D:\_Applications\YCiii\YankClip.exe
copy startlog + date + timeFor your FINAL line try:

echo Programs started on %date% at %time% >> Startlog

You have used the date and time commands which are called to AMEND the date/time at the command prompt.

The >> causes the OUTPUT of the echo command to be ADDED to the startlog file so that the start info will be appended to the file and will remain there until you delete the entries. You can amend the text string and the %date%/%time% outputs to suit your requirements.

Good luckDusty thank you for your help. That is exactly what I wanted to do.
Thanks again You're welcome - thanks for coming back to report your success..

How can I CHECK if a file exists with visual basic?VB6
Code: [Select] Dir("C:\test.txt")
vbscript
Code: [Select]set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemobjecT")
objFSO.FileExists(FILEPATH)

THANKS for the reply, it helped. I ended up doing this:

Code: [Select]My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:\file.ext")

I recently attempted to install a Nikon photo veiw program to my computer so that I can veiw photo's from my dig CAM. The program failed to work, so instead of leaving all of that data on my machine, I uninstalled it. Ever since then I get an error message when I open a window using IE 6.0.

The message is the same everytime I attempt to use IE. What is the problem, and what can I do to fix it? So far I have reinstalled IE 6.0, I have run a registry repair program, I have scanned and removed spyware, and I have run a virus scan that came back clean, I even reinstalled the suspect Nikon program in hopes of correcting the problem, all to no avail. Any and all help that you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
MelBradley

p.s. I do not have windows 98se on cd, can you direct me to a website where I can possibly DOWNLOAD it if needed to fix this problem? By the way, the IE inside my aol does not seem to be effected, other than it is incredibly slow, and extremely unreliable and sometimes will not DISPLAY certain websites like yahoo mail, excite news, and others.Welcome to the CH forums.

For a possible solution to your problem see here

It would be against forum rules for anyone to tell you where to download any MS copyright protected materials, if they were available for download. You should try EBAY or similar sites to buy a legit copy of the Win.98se cd.

Good luck

I do not know what a pvw file is but they keep popping up in my picture folder. I recently installed a KODAK camera and WONDER if that is where they are coming from. I just want them to go away and stay away. I have went to the folder options and looked for PVW and it is not there. If I click on one I get the box to have the internet find the program to open it. The only other software I have installed is SignBlazer which I use to cut stencils on a plotter. I'm suspecting the camera though. Do you know how to get rid of them and have them stay gone?

Any help much appreciated!According to: http://filext.com/file-extension/pvw
PVW files are simple text files holding information about Saved Views (visual layout of on-screen reports).
It comes from: Portfolio Saved View program: http://www.extensis.com/en/products/asset_management/OK. Now does anyone know how to get rid of them. I did not need them before and I'm pretty sure I don't need them now. I don't even have to view a picture to have them show up. They are driving me crazy. UNINSTALL the software that's creating the files then. Do you have Portfolio installed?Since they are text files, open couple of them with Notepad, and see what they say...Opening with notepad gives this result

hey im using command prompt, but i WISH to use other programs like C++. but are there downloadable(if its a word) programs like C++?? also what are some greatcheap code/game/site MAKING programs? any help that would be great. thanks
MM
You mean you are using MS-DOS OS or using WINDOWS command prompt?

If you are using Windows, try Visual C++. Visual C++ is a powerful program from Microsoft, but if you choose to download that, I hope you have a download speed that is not under 1MBPS, otherwise, you'd be waiting for the installer to download the files all day.

If you don't like Visual C++, head over to Google and search for "alternatives to visual c++".ok THANK you

Hi!
I'm trying to write an application client/server with HTTP protocol, in JAVA. I need:

- client connects to the server,and after that,
- server continuously sends data to the client (as soon as they can be obtained by an other server-side resource !! )

Client-side code is:

HttpURLConnectionis = httpConnection.getInputStream();

ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(is);
String toWrite=null;
do {
toWrite=(String)ois.readObject();
}
while(Thread.currentThread().isAlive());
is.close();

Server-side code (part of method DOGET() of a servlet) is:

ObjectOutputStream os= new ObjectOutputStream (response.getOutputStream());
Signal sig; // Signal is a Java CLASS containing String messages

int i=0;
while (i<10) {
sig = obs.getSignal(); // "obs" is a LinkedBlockingQueue!!!!
os.writeObject(new String(sig.getValue())); // sig.getValue() returns String
}

The problem is that data sent from server arrives to client ALL at the end of the while-cicle, and not one by one!

Istead, by using a code like this:

ObjectOutputStream os= new ObjectOutputStream (response.getOutputStream());
int j=0;
while(true){
os.writeObject(new String("\n SERVER: count"+j));
j++;
}

...data arrives one by one!

I made lots of tries, variously modifying the code..and I noticed that the problem is in using blocking methods
(in fact, the behaviour is same if forcing the current Thread to sleep - eg Thread.sleep(1000) -).

Where's the problem??


Are you saying that if you use a sleep instead of the queue, it still waits til the while LOOP has finished before sending to the client?

I'd recommend manually flushing the stream after each write (os.flush()? not sure of syntax - haven't done java in a very long TIME).

how do I DELETE a program with C++? or C? Like for example how would i delete file.exe?

THANKS..
Hi S_R_S5

Have you considered visiting the MSDN LIBRARY?

This link should help you delete a file.

Hello - Need some help

I've created a batch file to automatically backup a user's profile and data over the network or onto an external drive. The problem I'm having is that often TIMES a person may have outlook data files (.pst) stored in different PLACES in the C: directory. So i wanted to create a command to search for any .pst files on the c drive, and then if it finds any to then use the xcopy command to move those over to the specified folder on the external drive. So far i can get it to find the files USING attrib but cant seem to connect that to the copy function. Here is an example of what i have at the moment:
@echo off
:: variables
set drive=E:\Backup
set backupcmd=xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /y
set search=attrib /s c:\*.pst

echo ### Backing up email and CONTACTS (MS Outlook)...
%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Default Outlook Profile.NK2" "%drive%\outlook"
%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures" "%drive%\Outlook\Signatures"
%search%

I know this is probably something really simple that I'm missing here, but i would greatly appreciate any help. ThanksThis may help:

Code: [Select]@echo off
:: variables
set drive=E:\Backup
set backupcmd=xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /y
set search=attrib /s c:\*.pst

echo ### Backing up email and contacts (MS Outlook)...
%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Default Outlook Profile.NK2" "%drive%\outlook"
%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures" "%drive%\Outlook\Signatures"

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%x in ('dir c:\*.pst /s /b /a') do (

Replace the three dots with the rest of the actual destination directory.

That worked perfectly. THANKS a lot, really appreciate it.

I want the code below so that when you press any key it will refresh the information. The code below runs alright in a batch script (when in MS-DOS code), but since changing it into a C++ program it doesn't work. It seems like the "Pause" system command in C++ closes the window when any key is pressed. So how can i make it so if will refresh all the information WITHOUT closing?


Code: [Select]#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
system(":start");
system("color 0a");
system("echo -- --");
system("echo -- (C) Copyright - MT3sh, 2007 (Version. 1.0.0.2) --");

}You have not "converted your batch file to a C++ program". You have written a C++ program which shells out 53 separate times, once for each line. This will not work as you seem to think. What your program is doing is equivalent to a person typing 53 individual commands at the prompt, one after the other. The "pause" command will wait for a keypress, but the "goto start" command will fail, obviously, since you can't have labels at the command line, only in real batch files. You COULD have the whole batch file called e.g.

system("mybatch.bat");

You could redirect the output of the batch into a text file and process that file in a C++ program I suppose.

But why bother? You need to learn how to call Windows API functions.

ei guys, IM jst a newbie in this SITE..just wana ask question regarding on how to disable keyboard on winxp OS?does anybody knows?plss help
thanks a LOT in advance..Welcome to the CH forums.

Why do you want to disable the keyboard?

Off hand not familiar with a MS-DOS command that would allow you to do this. You can get third party utilities such as the below link that would allow you to do this.

good DAY. I'm kinda new here. I want to ask if is there a way for a batch (.bat) file to retreive and parse the message of a java command (say "java -version").

then later on identify the type of version it reflected through a nested if STATEMENT? (e.g. if ERRORLEVEL == "1.4.2_12 goto lower).

I would appreciate if somebody could help me out with these.
Thank you very much.
I was able to redirect the STDERR STREAM to a file. For whatever reason, java did not SEEM to OUTPUT to STDOUT.

Code: [Select]@echo off
java -version 2> java.txt
for /f "tokens=3" %%x in ('find /i "java version" java.txt') do (
if %%~x==1.6.0_03 goto label3
if %%~x==1.6.0_02 goto label2
if %%~x==1.6.0_01 goto label1
if %%~x==1.4.2_12 goto label0
)

I have developed a UTILITY in C which CONVERT the file FORMAT of say type a to say of type B.
I want to add my utility to the WINDOWS context menu which comes on right click on the file which i want to convert. For this what all computer registries i will have to update?Double post.

Hello all. I'm new here so GO easy.

I'm putting together a junk computer to play MP3s. Lots of them. My intentions are to push the power button and have all the music in one directory play. Maybe 3,000 songs. Sounds simple.

1. Must start, play all and loop, with no monitor or keyboard after it's setup.
2. If a song (MP3) won't play because of an error, for whatever reason go to next song. Songs will be checked for errors but things happen.
3. Be able to be SHUT down and restarted without problems.

I haven't chosen an operating system yet. I would probably go with Win98 because it's smaller than Win2k or XP. I know Winamp and other programs allow playlists and that's a possibility. I do like a very small stand alone MP3 player called "Billy" http://www.sheepfriends.com/?page=billy This computer will be accessible through a wireless network connection.

A batch file could be used but I'm stumped on the "play all" and "error" part. Shutting down shouldn't be a problem as long as I "don't allow safe MODE after bad shut down" in TweakIU.

This is an old AMD 300mHZ computer, 20GB HD with an amplified sound card. Any suggestions.

Oh yea, this computer will output to a homebrew one WATT AM transmitter to play oldies to the neighborhood on weekends. At present, I use a CD player capable of playing MP3s but the disks only hold around 225 songs, 6-8hrs.

-Mike ToonCreate a playlist with all your songs and save it somewhere on your hard drive. Create a batch file that opens that file and put the batch in startup. Windows Media Player automatically skips bad songs and it remembers if the repeat button was selected on last run and I imagine that the other players do as well.Hmmmmmmmmm. How do you create the list?

Okay I am still NEW to VB, ive had it but don't work with it much. I am working on my own utility though and I need a few things.

1. In batch, i have created a file that will use Wget and will save a specified HTML documents and source code from the internet. How can I do this (preferably withough Wget) in Basic?
2. Also how would I build the TextBox to specify the website to COPY and the output folder. LIKE what code do I use for this?i want to know where the system programs are kept those have to be run at the time when windows displays its logon screen to accept a user's password.....

can i run an app during this time?Kedar. Welcome to the CH forums.

hi all,

I have windows OPERATING system and FLASH professional software LOADED on it.

one of my friend want a flash movie to be made. but the problem is the operating system he is using is linux.

so, my question is , if I will make a flash movie using my flash software(loaded on windows xp), will the flash movie will work on linux.

if I have to do some CHANGES,please tell me.

thanks to u all.I don't believe that should be a problem. Your friend just needs to make SURE he got the Adobe Flash Player installed.Thank you very much for the information DEERPARK.

you have solved my problem.

thanks.

Hi All,

I have a database table which contains approx 20,000 records in the following format:
Code: [Select]DISK Track
=====================
CD1 Unique to CD1
CD1 On all three
CD1 On CD1 and CD2
CD1 On CD1 and CD3

CD2 Unique to CD2
CD2 On all three
CD2 On CD1 and CD2
CD2 On CD2 and CD3
CD2 Another on CD2 and CD3

CD3 Unique to CD3
CD3 On all three
CD3 On CD1 and CD3
CD3 On CD2 and CD3
CD3 Another on CD2 and CD3

Is it POSSIBLE to create an SQL statement to list all combinations of two disks, for example:
Code: [Select]DiskA DiskB
==============
CD1 CD2
CD1 CD3
CD2 CD3

Is it possible to create an SQL statement to list "counts of duplicates" WITHIN (or between) each combination of two disks, for example:
Code: [Select]DiskA DiskB CountOfDuplicatedTracks
=====================================
CD1 CD2 2
CD1 CD3 2
CD2 CD3 3

Thank you for your help,
Best REGARDS,
JAMES

P.S. This is a 'real question', with a real table, and not just a 'homework question'Hi All,

I have managed to solve this problem, (or atleast part 2 of the problem which is what I was really interested in).

Just in case anyone else is interested, my solution uses two SQL statements...

Make_B:
SELECT CD AS CD_B, Track AS Track_B FROM MyTable;

Joiner:
SELECT CD, CD_B, COUNT(Track) AS CountOfDuplicates
FROM MyTable INNER JOIN Make_B ON MyTable.Track=Make_B.Track_B
GROUP BY CD, CD_B HAVING CD_B>CD;

Regards,
James

Hi guys,

ive just MOVED into some NEW accomodation, and its got some sort've outside-managed isp running the network. Anyway, in order to get on the internet, you have to enter a username/password, and this is starting to annoy me when i have to do this every time!

So under xp, and PREFERABLY in a batch file, how would i be able to SAY open up firefox, navigate to the login page, enter the username/password and submit the form?

bit've a big question i know... i have some basic experience with batch FILES, but anything you can help me with would be great!!

cheers,

pete. Can't you just stay logged in? or is there a timeout?

Say I have a message box with two options: YES or NO.
What codes would I use that in the EVENT that I click YES, one message box comes up, and if I click NO, a different message box comes up? This is for use in VB6, but I was also wondering if the same codes could be used in NOTEPAD.
Thanks.Each the Yes and No buttons will return different return codes that you can test for:

Code: [Select]if vbYes Then msgbox("You pressed YES")
if vbNo Then msgbox("You pressed No")

Hello,

This is just a general QUESTION concerning the programatic background functionality of MS-SQL:

Does MS-SQL require a Windows 2003 Server, or can an administration software program also be ran on a PC server with good performace?

The reason why I am asking is because the software firm from which we bought the order processing software package pushed us into getting a MS-SQL Server, instead of using the pre-bought high-performance PC we especially got for this job. So they profited from us buying the software aswell as a new server.

The software does use MS-SQL database, but can a database generally not be executed the same way with a Windows XP Pro operating system? Or even with another server operating system on the high-performance pc?

I COULD think that the answer lies in that Windows Server 2003 is a 64bit o/s ? But does a PC not have 64bit operation systems?

You can run sql server on an xp machine. And it would probably run very well. The reason to use MS Server 2003, is the security and management enhancements. It is also a much more stable os, requiring less attention.
Another option is to install server 2003 on your suped up pc. There's nothing wrong with running a server on a desktop motherboard. Server motherboards will usually just give you the option of ECC memory, scsi, raid, and pci-x slots, which can all be very beneficial to a server environment, but not entirely necessary.Thankyou, interesting But does it need to be a 64bit XP version? If not, was is the difference to that with a standard 32bit o/s? I SUPPOSE MAINLY just for large enterprises - we are only a small firm of approx. 5 people with minor server requirements...They make sql server for 32- and 64-bit processors
It may also interest you that microsoft offers a free version of sql called sql server express...... I'm not sure what the differences are, but you may want to check it out.

Ok, hopefully this one will be MUCH easier to answer!

I have two listboxes in my Access 2000 Database. One of them contains values (The name of food products) from a table, tblStock. The other contains nothing and is defined as a VALUE List.

I'd like it so that when you press a button, the selected value from the ListBox with Products in is copied to the empty ListBox.

Note: The list box with products in is called List14, the empty list box is called List16.

Here's the code i'm using at the moment;

Code: [Select]Private Sub Command18_Click()
List16.AddItem (List14.Value)
End Sub

It just doesn't seem to be WORKING any ideas? Thanks!This may work:

Code: [Select]List16.AddItem(List14.SelectedItem)

Not sure that a command_click event is the most appropriate. Is there not a event raised when the selection is made?





This one won't work either. It comes up with the error message, "method or data member not FOUND" and it highlights the .SelectedItem element. I can't work out what the extension is for the actual values in the first Listbox. I can ADD ListIndex of the selected product into the second ListBox, but not the actual text itself. .Text doesn't even seem to exist on Access 2000. Code: [Select]List16.AddItem(List14.Selected)

I'm pretty comfortable with iostream, i'm curious if there is a way to change the background color and maybe make a new BOX type window in C++?

thank you.
S_R_SDo you mean that you want to change the color of OUTPUT (CONSOLE) window?
If so you can use:

setbkcolor(COLOR);
It works in C but I am not sure about c++.
also write #include on top.

Check out if it works.
Please LET me know the result.

Hello,
I have been working with C for some time now. Passing 2 dimensional arrays to FUNCTIONS is QUIET simple. But I was wondering how MULTI dimensional arrays are passed to function. Till now I have been declaring three dimensional arrays as global.
But that is not an effective method.
kindly guide me.

I have a friend who learn Java in school and he asked me some stuff about it.
Normally I could answer them without knowing anything about java.
Just from my other programming knowledge.
But now it gets to complicated. And I do want to help him.
And I'm quiet interested in Java.
Sow my question is:
what do I need to be able to wright and test the self written porgs?
Is there any good tortural?

Thanks in advance

Jonas You need the Java Development Kit (JDK). Get the most recent version off ..

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Get a java IDE, although not necessary, I recommend JCreator ..

http://jcreator.com/

First download the JDK, then download JCreator and open it.
After you open it, create a project.
Copy the program that you want into Jcreator, compile them, and then run it.

If you do not know any java, then read the TUTORIALS on ..

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/

Ask me if you have any problems or need help with anything.
Thank you JavaMaster I will install that program and read the tutorials.
But I'm sure I will have some questions.
And it is nice to hear you want help me.

Jonas He told me that I already had it and asked me if I wanted to reïnstall it.
So I did that but I'm unable to find the program.
Where should it be located?
I checked all programs, C:\program files\java But I couldn't find any link to JDK.

Thanks in advance
Jonas hello jonas
well if u have already INSTALLED java, then go in ur C DRIVE, u must be havin a FOLDER named j2sdk1.4 or j2sdk1.5 . for convenience rename it if u like, as this name is too long. suppose yo rename it to jdk1.4
then to write a java program, go on the command prompt and type cd\
now type:
cd jdk1.4 {to enter it}
cd bin
edit abc.java {to write a java file named abc}
save it and exit
now on command prompt type:
javac abc.java {to compile ur program}
java abc {to run ur program}

and if u want to check the note pad file of ur program then go in C drive -> jdk1.4 ->
bin, and u will find it.
i hope it helped.
Thks that was what I was looking for.
But I do have a problem:
when I try to compile it it says 9 errors while it works perfectly at my friends comp.
But he has a special program. He uses trough a VPN connection with his school.
It gives me errors that doesn't make any sense

Is there any thing wrong with the prog he wrote? (I don't think so but still)

Jonas

Here is the program:
Code: [Select]public void Ster1 (int n)
{
int x;
int index;
for (x = 1; x <= n; x++)
{
for (index = 1; index <= x ; index++)
{
System.out.print ("*");
}
System.out.print (" ");
}
}
hi jonas,
alwz remember that any function in java has to be declared within a class .
also there has to be a main function in your program. it is declared as follows:
class abc
{
public static void main(String str[])
{
---------------
}
}
public key word is used to make it accessible to all.
static is used so that, we can USE it without creating its object.
void - its return type.
now, if you wish to write your program, there are three ways:
1> write the code in main function itself.
2> write the code in the same class. but dont forget to declare the new function also as static, bcoz a static function can call only a static function in the same class.
3> write the code in another class and make the object of that class in main function.

here is the code for the last option:


class star
{
public static void main(String a[])
{
int n=Integer.parseInt(a[0]);
star1 a1=new star1();
a1.ster1(n);
}
}
class star1
{
void ster1(int n)
{
int x;
int index;
for(x=1;x<=n;x++)
{
for(index=1;index<=x;index++)
{
System.out.print("*");
}
System.out.print(" ");
}
}
}

i hope it helped .

hello,
i want to make a window using VBSCRIPT which asks password from the user.
i have used 'inputbox' for that. but it checks for only one predefined password.
how can i, make a provision, that any one can register, and then enter his password in the window create above.
how can i make, my program remember the passwords and user names of all the users?

please help me out. its really urgent. please please....... best way would be to set up a DATABASE with all the usernames and passwords, but you could use a text file if you don't care too much about SECURITY
when the user hits ok, run the input through a for loop so it can locate the USERNAME in the database, once the username has been found, check if the password is right with an if statement.

there are so many programming languages..C, C++, C#..JAVA..etc and I was wanting to know which ones are the most useful? the programming course I want to take teaches C# and Java, are these two the most widely used languages in programming? I'm also going to buy some books to begin with before I buy the courses.C and C++ can do the most. If I were to guess, I'd say that java, C#, and visual basic were written with a lot of C/C++ programming and some assembly.
If you want to language that is the most versatile, go with C.
With that said, C isn't a very simple language. It's not usually recommended as a beginning language. If you want a smaller, easier start, try perl, visual basic, or java. After you've mastered one of those, C will be a lot easier to learn.I would agree that C and C++ are widely use.

But for a beginner I would recommand Java. This langage is an object oriented modeling language that is near to C++ in a few point without the concept of pointer (only using reference). Furthermore, there is a lot of standardised libraries that does a lot of stuff for you (string manipulation, object stask and linked list, GRAPHICAL interface).

In fact C is a simple langague but it still a procedural one (not object oriented) it is then more difficult to design a long-term reusable and evolutive software.

but that's my opinion, for my part I am coding with C++ (at my job).
yp

note that if you go with an object oriented language it could be a good idea to look at UML (Unified Modeling Language)
ohh okay that helps me out a lot! thanks!!!! there is a beginner programmer's book I want to buy that teaches a very simple language called qbasic, and I think I'll try it out. I'd recommend visual basic over qbasic. It's a more MODERN language and you can do more with it. With qbasic, you're stuck in the command line.Okay, thanks again for the info!!! I'll look for beginner books that teach visual basic instead of qbasic At my high SCHOOL we're learning Java. We started by learning the concepts of object oriented programming by using a program called "ALICE" developed by Carnegie-Mellon University.

Okay,
LETS pretend that I had a COM port on my computer. Now lets pretend I have some sort of COM cable (who knows that kind exactly)
Is it possible that I could build a QBASIC program that will tell me when an electrical connection is made in a cable?
For example, if the COM cable I had an end that looked LIKE a headphone plug with only two separate parts (wires) is it possible to make a program that will monitor the input, and tell me when something comes in through it? (If I took a piece of foil, and connected the two connections)

(A bit of a strange question)

I know that something similar can be accomplished, since my UNCLE had a QBASIC program that would tell you how long it took a piece of wood to run through a saw. A start time was created, and once the log set the trigger and the time would stop. QBasic 4.5 will certainly do what you want but programming the ports in QB 4.5 is difficult in anything other than real Dos mode (not tried DOSBox).

VM.How does one start accomplishing such a program (using the OPEN COM STATEMENT)?Yes, that's one of the commands which are used. Then the port must be polled while waiting for input (INP) and when that input is detected some action is taken.

I SUGGEST you find a tutorial which suits your purpose. You may find a suitable one here or at one the many other QB tutorials on the WWW. There are also dedicated QB forums.

Good luck

VM.A port programming tutorial written in QB is here. Download Q-Basics.zip, chapter 11 contains the tut.

If you want to try QB port programming in XP then the PortTalk driver mentioned in the above is here.

I'm USING an x64 machine and I want to WRITE native x64 WINDOWS programs.

I know both alittle but i'm better with C++.
which is more powerful and better for making good programs?

thanks,
S_R_SIt's up to you to decide. C++ and Java are both good programming languages.
Even BASIC is good. Old, but still good.

Research each language and see which one is right for you.Yeah, both are equally good.
It depends on the type of programming you want to do.
For web applications like APPLET and servlet java is best.
On the other hand, if you want to play with pointers and do other SIMPLE tasks c++ is best.Which PROGRAMING language is USED in most programs like virus scans, solitaire, notepad ect?
is that C++ or some random programing language?Quote from: S_R_S5 on December 20, 2007, 11:50:00 PM

I want to know ..hehe ..I am learning a little bit of python program...and I have been WONDERING ...waht is the USE of python program? Your question is a bit VAGUE, but I'm ASSUMING you want to know what Python can be used for. So here's a Wikipedia article on NOTABLE software that is written in (or uses) Python.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_softwarehoho....thx

I just began programming in C++ and just found out about C#. I was thinking it would be better to IGNORE C++ and start C# since it's more modern, but I don't want to jump ahead until I get a educated opinion. So what would you guys recommend, C, C++ or C#?


Thanks.Quote from: jjbtcp on November 05, 2007, 02:48:34 AM

I just began programming in C++ [...]

I want to KNOW which language is the most popular. I am using c++ now.I'm using C++ too, and BATCH Scripting.Currently I am using C++ and VISUAL BASIC .NET in my classes at school. Earlier in my career as a student I used Java as well.i am currently using C and java. they are the most popular ones in our college.

I've been trying to find a solution to this but it's a pretty tricky thing to find a standard code for. It's not the most complex of problems though, so hopefully someone can help.

I have a table in Access which is for Ordering from a shop. I have a field named TotalCost which is to be calculated using a query, so that the Quantity in the Order Table is multiplied by the cost in the Product Table.

From what I gather, I can't store the result of this calculation back into the TotalCost field. It also seems that neither Update Queries nor Append Queries work. It also won't allow me to MAKE the TotalCost a lookup field.

I presume the method of getting the result of the calculation in the query to the TotalCost field is through SQL in the Query ... but I have no idea how I'd go about this. Any help would be APPRECIATED. Thanks!Seems that if the database is normalized, there will be a field common to both the OrderTable and the ProductTable. Assuming that the TotalCost field is in the OrderTable, you should be able to Set OrderTable.TotalCost = OrderTable.Quantity * ProductTable.Cost

Assuming the common field is something like ItemNumber, you would need to join the two tables on this field:

where OrderTable.ItemNumber = ProductTable.ItemNumber

Note: the two field names from each table need not be identically named, just contain the same data.

That said, it is not recommended that calculated fields be stored in the database. If either Quantity or Cost were to change, the TotalCost field would be in error.



You're actually RIGHT about the Total Cost thing. I see your point about the Quantity and Cost changes entirely. I do, however, have another query.

This time, what i'm trying to do is use VBA in a Form. I have a ListBox, and what I'd like to do is display all Product Values from tblStock which have a STOCK Level of 0 or less than 0. I'm not entirely sure what kind of SQL code I should be using here? Thanks!Not knowing the all the particulars, this is just a general method you might want to consider.

This SQL statement should produce a recordset:
Code: [Select]Select value From tblStock Where StockLevel =< 0

After that it should be a simple matter to create a loop for reading the recordset and loading the listbox.

Code: [Select]rs.movefirst
do until rs.eof
lstBox.Add(value)
loop

Note: change value in the SQL statement and the recordset loop to the field you want in the listbox.



PS. rs is an arbitrary name I gave to the recordset.Aha! Right, now I understand. I've entered this code,

Code: [Select]Dim rs As Recordset

Private Sub List8_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
RunCmd.SQL ("Select Product From tblStock Where StockLevel =< 0")
rs.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF
List8.AddItem (Product)
Loop
End Sub

But the problem is I now come up with a Runtime Error 424, and it says "Object Required"? Also, I'm usinf Access 2000 if that's of any relevance. List8.Add didn't work and the only other one on the list was .AddItem, but I presumed there wasn't much difference?

Thanks though!Yeah, you're right, Add should have been AddItem.

About the object required error. What is RunCmd defined as? and where did the actual error appear?

Normally I just use the open method on the recordset and pass along the sql, connection string, and CURSOR flags: rs.open "sql data", connectionstring



At the moment, the error comes up when I click on the list Box. With regards to RunCMD, I haven't even defined it :-/ I've seen it on other SQL codes so thought that was the right thing to put in. Sorry, i'm OK at regular coding but no good at VBA or SQL!Don't know if this will work within Access, but you might use it as a guide:

Code: [Select]Const adOpenStatic = 3
Const adLockReadOnly = 1

Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim SQL as String

Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
SQL = "Select Product From tblStock Where StockLevel =< 0"
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=fullpathtoyourdatabase"

Private Sub List8_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
rs.Open SQL, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
rs.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF
List8.AddItem (Product)
Loop
rs.Close
cn.Close
End Sub

Make sure you replace fullpathtoyourdatabase with the appropriate data.

Tried to cover everything in a small space. I'm not sure how much Access predefines for the user, so there may be more code than required.

Crumbs, I tried but I couldn't get it to work, sorry - it looks like the right type of code but my amateur expertise brings it down.

I have however stumbled across another way of doing this. One method is just placing a query which says all the stock levels which have less than 0 and then you add that to a form. The more interesting concept is this.

When you use a Form Wizard, if I make my Stock Table the thing it uses, and then open the form in Design View, it pre-determines the fields of the Stock Table. I can then do something like this ~

If StockLevel <= 0 Then List1.AddItem (Product)

The problem is not even that works Any ideas?When I looked at Access last night I realized you don't have to write any code! First design a query (use the wizard) to select records where StockLevel =< 0. Design your form with a listbox making sure to click: "I want the list box to lookup the values in a table or query". On the next screen, choose the query you designed as the data source for the listbox.

I'm still shell shocked at how simple this was, it was the ultimate KISS That is a simple way of doing it! Thanks. I seem to be finding alot of easy ways out today with this database. I've been struggling with a validation code in a form and I realised that the problem I've had through this entire thread is because I need fields to be contained in objects like that List Box, within the form. It works so much easier (I need coding somewhere in this database for my CPT Project marks ) But still, that Qry makes things tons easier, Thanks!
