  Squeakstar,

  I just got around to reading your response which was hostile abrasive and abusive. Name calling an characterizations aren't not going to be supported here.

  Your want assistance. In order to receive that, the burden is upon you to give as much information including failure information as possible, which you didn't do.

  There are clear suggestions on how to ask a question at the top of the forum.

  There is no import process for projects themselves. You copy the full directory structure with zip. All references are maintained but they have to coincide with what is installed on any other system.

  There is an import process for your developer's setting.

  Moderators trade projects, I work on peoples projects ALL the time and all you need is zip taking care to maintain that original directory strucure.

  See you ladies, later.

  Hi Squeakstar,

  I do see your point. Ideally there would be a terse (like c# to the point information exchange).

  Your resource will be zeroing in on things, often things that the user doesn't know about and often will approach the problem differently. If the user had a working approach, there wouldn't be any need for the resource.

  Please know, and please understand that we work hard to answer questions and we've worked hard to let users know HOW to ask a question.

  And over and over again, we see statements like, "It doesn't work", or "it failed", which to us is no information at all. People wouldn't be talking to us if it worked.

  So we have to say that perhaps ten times a day and over time, it becomes heavy.

  Lot's of things happen here Squeakstar and now that you're been a poster for a while, I'm sure that you've seen them too.

  There is a search facility. Perhaps people ask fifteen times a week, "How do I read a file" If they used the search facilitiy theres probably two hundred examples and we get questions that are well covered in help as if there must be some aversion to help. I use it all the time.

  But anyway, thank you for the apology. I appreciate that and we'll always do our very best to get the questions answered. 

  Take care....

  hi renee, sorry for the earlier post but i did feel like you're comment came across rather rudely or with an amount of disdain at the least. my question was simple enough "how do you do...etc "

  my paragraph after was basically an expression of perplexedness. i didn't know what had gone wrong or how to to express it anyway. i didn't know which file i should be opening or what i was seeing and it all seemed rather futile to try and describe.

  i post regularly to forums, asking and replying, and i've learned its sometimes best not to go on too much and when you can put across ones problems in the form of a short sharp question, this often yields the best responses. if i had some techncal gubbins i knew what was what with, i would have explained it. but again my question in the first instance put out my requirement for the knowledge i needed.

  again, apologies for any offence caused. but i hope you see my point too!

  Squeakstar,

  That resource is you.

  I started 35 years ago and there weren't any books and least as far as I knew.

  I sat down and just started writing programs and I do that now.....

  I never read books unless it's in a particular area and usually they don't do me a whole lot of good.

  I pick a project that is a little larger than I am, one that is in an area that I don't know alot about and I'll write it. By the time it's written, I will have learned an awful lot and that's what I recommend.

  It's really important to be able to have a good estimate of your skill level.

  One of the things that we see here are people who want to travel to the moon, but they've never seen a bi-plane. They need to be patient with themselves because this stuff doesn't come over night. I've been in it for 35 years and my learning is still pretty steep although I'll have to admit... the moment I saw DOT NET, that was over whelming. But I did the same thing I've always done. I wrote a project that was just a little larger than I was. By the time I was finished... we were both on an qual par.

  Take care and I've found the free Microsoft book on upgrading to be pretty good.

  Renee

  thanks for your help lydon. i'd kinda done some weird work-a-round where i copied and pasted the code, which meant i had to re-create my form and buttons and rename them.

  i think i may have confused vb express because my My Documents folder was on another drive at work which is where my vb projects were living - obviously now, it appears it wants the complete directory and not the short-cut directory. doh.

  thanks again dude,

  no, it doesn't clever-clogs, but the question in th first place was, "can someone please explain how i can export my project i'm writing in spare time at work to my home pc, intact with all code and interface design in place please in vb.net express "!

  if i knew what all the rubbish was popping up in my vb.net express i would have explained, i've been at it two days! it kinda looks like xml, or there's my code but no interface design window depending on what file i open.

  my reason for posting is to make sure i can fully export/import and how, ya numpty!

  yes i can see why reading "it failed" etc would be annoying but that really wasn't my focus or expectation for anyone to sort my problem through that comment, so was confused why you should so be like you were to me. anyway.. glad you've acceppted my apology.

  whilst i've got your attention - whats the one killer resource on the web a beginner like me should look at that you'd reccomend

  Don't know what you're complaining about renee you asked for that; he had a simple question up front and described the mess he found himself in. The question upfront was the whole point of his post!

  Just giving it that he wasn't explaining enough type of attitude is pretty dumb in the first place when you haven't taken his actual question onboard. I see you end your previous post with the actual required information - that would have been quite enough to get the noobie dude going. My motto is if you haven't anything useful to say don't say it.

  i remember when i started learning vb from the guys in the office, it can be pretty intimidating and doesn't require any kind of patronising so give the guy a break.

  hi lydon, i am currently using 2 photoshop 7.0 APIs to run some auto processing that just couldn't be that automatic just from using its built in actions. i do have photoshop installed on my home pc too. do i perhaps need to prepare vb.net express by attatching the references first, can i do that with a freshly opened copy, no open projects of vb.net express

  given the above either way; which actual file should i be opening from my project folder, to set the import process in motion

  thanks fella,

  Software people cannot give a better answer than the information we receive.

  There is a post at the top of the forum making that very clear, in fact it could not be clearer. Learning VB is one thing, describing how something fails is quite another.

  I wasn't impolite in the least. I simply said, you statement doesn't give us much to go which it doesn't. If a user doesn't care enough about their own questions to read whats at the top of the forum and make a clear problem statement they probably will not receive an answer they are looking for.

  This user wasn't patronized at all. I simply said, "You haven't given us very much usable information." There may be a wish that he did, but he didn't.

  In turn, the users response was hostile and abrasive which will not be supported here.

  Sorry it took so long for a reply....
  
  You should be able to open up your projects and (I think) your references should already be set. If not, you need to open up your project file (something.vbproj) and then add the reference the the API yourself.

  I have never had a problem just copying the project folder like you mentioned
  
  ex. "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Documents\VB2005\Projects\Project
  
  Now, if you are using a lot of API's or have a lot of references on your work PC that you don't have on your home PC, then that could cause problems.
