CDO.Message is a class, not an error. I take it your getting the "Could not access 'CDO.Message' object."
Every versoin of CDO I can find defines the SMTPServer field as a String. I can't find a single reference to an Insert method for the SMTPServer field or that the field is defined as a colleciton.
But, I'm not saying your lying or don't know what your talking about. What you might want to try is hitting F2 and navigating down the object browser to find the CDO object and the SMTPServer property. There, you'll be able to see if SMTPServer is defined as a string or a collection.
In either case, you'll have to write code that either attempts to get the CDO Version installed on the machine and sets the field using the appropriate method, OR tries setting the SMTPServer field using one method and if that fails (Try/Catch block) tries the other method.

I write a codeDom program.
where i add the following statement to the code:
property1.SetStatements.Add(New CodeAssignStatement(New CodeFieldReferenceExpression(New CodeThisReferenceExpression, strFieldVal1), New CodePropertySetValueReferenceExpression))
the run result is:
Set
MyBase.CurDataRow.Item("CusID") = Value
End Set
It miss the "(ByVal Value As String)" statement.
How can I display this statement?

Has anybody ever noticed that when you right align a column in a datagrid that the last character of the columnheader text is nod displayed properly? I've tried adding spaces at the end of the text but it is trimmed and the same thing is displayed. Anybody know of a workaround?

Hi all,
I have a little problem: by application is generating a report and it takes some time.. so I want to show a little "please wait" always-on-top window while the report is generated.
I created a form with a "Please wait" label and a timer that animates a bitmap every 500 milli. And this is how I call it from my app:
dim frm as new frmWaitMsg
frm.Show
GenerateReport
frm.Close
And it doesn't work! The message form doesn't load properly. I can see the frame, but the CPU doesn't complete the task: the insides of the form are not drawn until the report is complete. So I tried running the report in a seperate thread, but I don't know how to deal with all the yielding problems. I wrote something like:
dim frm as new frmWaitMsg
dim t as new Thread(GenerateReport)
frm.Show
t.Start
t.Join
frm.Close
But then, it looks like the Join blocks my form, and I get the same results 
How do I do this?
Thanks,

I am having the same problem here. I even tried a fade effect on a timer with the forms opacity to get redraws in a thread and it just draws the frame with a black box inside. Funny enough though, it works perfectly launching from Visual Studio. But it hassles when running standalone.
I use a similar code block to yours, but have also tried at least 5 other approaches.
Any help???

I finally solved this thing with a solution that I like. Basically, I use the Observer Design Pattern to create an ObservedThread class.
In VB.NET, I implement this using events. The class has 2 events: Started and Ended.
The class is really simple:
' we can't derive from Thread so we use composition.
' Unfortunately, this means that we have to create the Thread
' interface in this class, but for this example, we'll only
' expose a Start method.
Imports System.Threading
Public Class ObservedThread
Protected Thread As Thread
Protected StartProc As ThreadStart
' some useful events:
Public Event StartedArgs(ByVal Thread As ObservedThread)
Public Event Started()
Public Event EndedArgs(ByVal Thread As ObservedThread)
Public Event Ended()
Public Sub New(ByVal StartProc As ThreadStart)
Me.StartProc = StartProc
Thread = New Thread(AddressOf ThreadProc)
End Sub
Protected Sub ThreadProc()
StartProc()
RaiseEvent EndedArgs(Me)
RaiseEvent Ended()
End Sub
Public Sub Start()
RaiseEvent Started()
RaiseEvent StartedArgs(Me)
Thread.Start()
End Sub
End Class
And let's assume you have an independent form, that you want to appear while the thread executes, and close when the thread finishes. The form has nothing to do with the thread. It's a simple form, that has a timer ticking every few millisecs:
dim frm as New frmPleaseWait
Dim th As New ObservedThread(AddressOf DoSomethingHeavy)
AddHandler th.Started, AddressOf frm.Show
AddHandler th.Ended, AddressOf frm.Close
th.Start()
That's it. Works great.

Is this VB6 or VB.net?
In VB6 simply add a doevents to the code
eg
dim frm as new frmWaitMsg
frm.Show
doevents
GenerateReport
frm.Close
I think there is something similar in .net but it is application.doevents

Anybody to help connecting a VB6 program to access a database in SQL Server?
|
|
|
|
|
You should use ADO reference or ADO control to connecto your SQL server. The suggest step for you (if you are the beginner), try to connect to database by using a wizard. Then learn from the connection string. If you have some problem to remember the connection string, try to read the information from here.[^]

Thank you very much sir. I'm a beginner, could you please tell me how to get the ADO wizard? i got some codes(strings) from some books and it doesn't work. it says 'object not found' etc. is it something related to user connection? really i don't know how to do it. please help me.

first is to create a reference to the ado library. to do this select references from the project menu and tick the 'microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.7 Library' box.
The Code to connect to SQL Server and Create a basic recordset is as follows:
dim cn As ADODB.Connection
dim rs as ADODB.Recordset
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.ConnectionTimeout = 25
cn.CommandTimeout = 120
cn.Provider = "sqloledb"
cn.Properties("Data Source").Value = YourServerName
cn.Properties("Initial Catalog").Value = YourDatabaseName cn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
cn.Properties("Integrated Security").Value = "SSPI" 'If using Windows integrated security
cn.Open
set rs = new ADODB.Recordset
rs.open "Select * from yourTable",cn
You now have a basic recordset
Dont forget to close everyhing and set to nothing when your done.
Sorry if it sounds basic but you did say you are a beginner

Dear RamBhatt, an example from jonathan15 is good. Try to do it and learn the process step by step. But according to the code, if you copy and paste it in your project don't forget to add the following two lines at buttom of your code:
rs.Close<br />
Set cn = Nothing
If you still have a problem with this example, let me know I will explain you in another way to help you understand with this issue.

I can answer for you for only question that I know and base on documentation.
1. Difference between RDO and ADO.
RDO stand for Remote Data Objects
Remote Data Objects implement a set of objects to deal with the special requirements of remote data access. RDO implements a thin code layer over the ODBC API and driver manager that establishes connections, creates result sets and cursors, and executes complex procedures using minimal workstation resources. Although RDO is also accessed by DAO when your code creates an ODBCDirect Workspace object, documentation for this implementation can be found by searching for specific ODBCDirect topics.
Note RDO and the RemoteData control are designed to be used only in 32-bit operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 95 (or later) or Microsoft Windows NT.
With RDO and the RemoteData control, your applications can access ODBC data sources without using a local query processor. This can mean significantly higher performance and more flexibility when accessing remote database engines.
By using RDO, you can:
Create simple cursorless result sets, or more complex cursors.
Run queries and process any number of result sets.
Execute stored procedures that return result sets with or without output parameters and return values.
Execute action queries that perform data manipulation or data definition operations.
Limit the number of rows returned or processed.
Monitor all of the messages and errors generated by the remote data source without compromising the executing query.
Enable synchronous, asynchronous, or event-driven asynchronous processing so your application isn't blocked while lengthy queries are executed or the current row pointer is repositioned.
ADO stand for ActiveX Data Object
Solutions for Local Data Access
The Issue
You want a simple, consistent application programming interface (API) that enables applications to gain access to, and modify a wide variety of data sources. A data source may be as simple as a text file, as complex as a cluster of different types of databases, or something yet to be invented. Furthermore, the API should not presume the means of gaining access to and manipulating the data source.
Although these are your specific requirements, the typical data source is a relational database that supports the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) standard and is manipulated with commands written in Structured Query Language (SQL).
The general solution Microsoft offers to this problem is OLE DB, a set of Component Object Model (COM) interfaces that provide uniform access to data stored in diverse information sources. However, because the OLE DB application programming interface is designed to provide optimal functionality in a wide variety of applications; it does not meet the requirement for simplicity.
You need an API that is a bridge between the application and OLE DB. ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) is that bridge.
The Solution
ADO defines a programming model—the sequence of activities necessary to gain access to and update a data source. The programming model summarizes the entire functionality of ADO.
The programming model suggests an object model—the set of objects that correspond to and implement the programming model. Objects possess methods—which perform some operation on data—and properties—which either represent some attribute of the data or control the behavior of some object method.
Associated with objects are events—which are notifications that some operation has occurred, or is about to occur.
Basic ADO Programming Model
ADO provides the means for you to perform the following sequence of actions:
Connect to a data source. Optionally, you can ensure that all changes to the data source occur either successfully or not at all.
Specify a command to gain access to the data source, optionally with variable parameters, or optionally optimized for performance.
Execute the command.
If the command causes data to be returned in the form of rows in a table, store the rows in a cache that you can easily examine, manipulate, or change.
If appropriate, update the data source with changes from the cache of rows.
Provide a general means to detect errors (usually as a result of making a connection or executing a command).
Typically, you will employ all these steps in the programming model. However, it is worth noting that ADO is flexible enough that you can do useful work by executing just part of the model. For example, you could store data from a file directly into a cache of rows, then use ADO resources solely to examine the data.
(The source of this document were took from MSDN Library January 2000)
2. About the wizard
It look like the wizard but it just 2 importance step that you need to understand, first select the connection type and second choose the database. To understand this follow this step:
1. Create a new blank project in vb6.
2. Go to Project menu and click on Component submenu.
3. When the Component dialog box appear scroll to Microsoft ADO Data Control 6.0 (OLEDB) and checked it.
4. An ADO data control appear on the tool box and click and draw it on your form.
5. When an ADO data control appear on the form right click on it and choose ADODC Property.
6. From the property dialog box of ADO data control in the "Source of Connection" frame you will see three option. The first one is "Use Data Link file" the second one is "Use ODBC data source name" and the third one is "Use connection string".
7. Choose the third option (Use connection string) and click the build button.
8. You will see the Data Link Property dialog box appear with a difference type of data that you want to connect. If you want to connect to SQL server database you can click on "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server" and click on "Next >>" button. The next tab of property dialog box appear with 3 step for you to follow. The first one is "Select or enter the server name:" click on the drop down list to choose the server name that contain SQL database install on it. The second step is "Enter information to log on server", you can choose two option (SQL or Windows authenication). This example I prefer Windows authenication. And the third step is select database on the server. I choose master database (just an example, master database is the core database of SQL server. You should not modified to it in case of necessary). Then click on "Test connection" button. If you see message box said that "Test connection successed." then it is working properly.
9. Click on OK button twice and you will see the connection string in the text box "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI; Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=master;Data Source=APOCEDC".
Learn from here try to customize the code with any database that you create in SQL server. Then you will see how it is working.
Hope it is work!!! and wish you good luck in programming!!! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Do you want to delete it from any application that you build or just delete by manually. If delete by manually, try to go to IE option. On the first tab (the General tab) click on "Clear History" button. This button just clear the list of day that it appear in IE history pane. If you want to clear the file that you have browse on your computer you have to click on "Delete Files..." button. This will clear the cache file that you browse any website before. Hope this work!!!

In IE click on History button, then it will display history pane. If you want to delete the today history, try to right click on Today folder and click delete. Make sure that you already clear the file in IE option (General tab).
