The internet abounds with info on how to connect to Access. I'm sure you've already done this, otherwise you wouldn't be 'using access'
Therefore the question is, what do you mean by 'done' or 'pending' ? Do you want to show if a DB action is complete ? The best way to do that is probably to do the DB action in a thread, and show it as pending until the thread signals that it is done.

May i know how to do a thread? My 'done' and 'pending' is to let the user know if the action is ongoing on already been done. i need to retrieve tt out and show it to the user. Is using messagebox. show the only choice?

OF course not, you can set up your UI any way you like.
If you're not doing the operation in a thread, the question is meaningless, your UI will not respond until the operation ends anyhow. And if your UI didn't start the operation, what I'm suggesting will not work.

A seperate thread will take up a different slice of your processors resources to the main thread of your app. This means your UI will continue to be responsive while your Access call happens. Otherwuse, your UI will freeze up until the process returns.

Hi
I am creating a custom control for marquee style scrolling.
I have sub classed from label. I have managed the scrolling - speed etc.
My problem is the transparency of the label. I have used
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True)<br />
Me.BackColor = Color.Transparent
in Sub New of the control
However, the text still seems to sit on top of all controls on the form.
I even tried SendToBack, with no success.
Any ideas?

How can i Set Decimal Places Property to a column of an Access Database, using Visual Basic 6.0.

Hi
I believe there is some property that you can set using the ADO Fields collection... not sure though. Have you tried googling for it?

How can i convert Microsoft Acesss 97 to Microsoft Acesss 2000, using Visual Basic 6.0, the problem is that my client database is Microsoft Access 97 and my software uses Microsoft Access 2000 so for that i have to convert Access-97 to Access-2000 programatically.

Hi
So long as all data retrieval / update is done programmatically using ADO or OLEDB, it doesnt really matter whether your client uses Access 97 or 2000. It is only when they want to open the database directly in Access will they face a problem.
Hope this helps

Actually i want to convert the Access-97 Database to Access-2000 Database, because i am adding/deleting coloumns programitically, so my software gives error if the Access is older version, for adding or deleting the columns.
Please reply.
With regards,
Sunil Lanke.

Maybe then you will need to look at _how_ you are adding / deleting columns, since I have done this many times with Access 97 and it seems to work fine.

You can use a service like dyndns to get a static IP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your server has a static IP, your clients can broadcast their IP to that known location.

So, once a client is connected to the server, the server needs to publish other client IP addresses.

Aarrgghhh !!!
Seriously, what is so confusing to you ?

You're just plain wrong. As the server has a static IP, the client can transmit their IP to the server when they connect, and so the server can publish a list. How do you think that Napster used to work ?

They are static enough for to communicate in one session - that session can last for days or months! When the client disconnects the server stops publishing the IP address. When the client connects again (possibly with a new IP address) the server can publish that new IP address.
What is so difficult about that?
