• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Edit Data in Access

  Hi, I currently have a MS Access 2002 database, and it has a table with the fields "Part", "Quantity", "Date", and "Comments". Thie "Part", "Quantity" and "Date" data are extracted on a weekly basis from another MRP database. However, I have to manually copy the "Comments" data over because it is not part of the MRP database. I wrote some simple queries to see the change in Quantity over time for each different Part(i.e. check quantities each week, and calculate a delta). Now, the issue I have is that I would like to automatically copy the "Comments ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using C in Visual C++ Express

  Forgive me if this question has already been asked, as you can imagine its quite difficult to search for threads on "C" because all of the search returns are "C++". Can you compile and execute ANSI C in VS C++ Express Ive been able to execute C statements in express, but the file extensions are still .cpp. Is express actually compiling C or has Visual C++ been extended to include common C statements in VC++ If you can run VC++ Express using only C, is there some setting that you need to adjust to allow this This would help alot. TX You can just name the file as a .C or you can use the compiler option /TC. More de ...Show All

• .NET Development OLE Db vs. ODBC

  I'm writing a component for an application to import data into a SQL Server 2005 database from existing legacy databases. These are FoxPro .dbf databases, Excel spreadsheets, and Access .mdb databases. What unable to find which one is the appropriate/preferred access method - using OLE Db or ODBC. Thanks!

• Visual Basic Getting application settings in control libraries and other separately compiled stuff

  I will admit that i'm not really on top of the class structure yet:-( That said I guess that I understand that in a control library My.Settings refers to any settings that are established for the library. (Not sure how I'd use that:-) So the question is how do I see the settings associated with the main running application in a control library What I want to do is have the controls initialize themselves and save themselves into the application's user settings. (I know, I should bind control properties to the application settings but whenever I try to do this Beta 2 exits - no error just shuts down gracefull!) Regards, Al ...Show All
