A powerful grid which was abandoned by the original author (Richard Mewett). As said by Morgan Haueisen "this grid is too good to let die". Now I want to support this grid as most of my application is using this for my master/detail and or parent/child form. This grid can support also any control which in my case I added a multi-column combobox. The primary purpose of this code is to learn how to integrate combobox and other control like datepicker, checkbox, etc. in lynxgrid. You will also learn in different way on how to save using a master/detail form. How to delete record in table which was deleted in lynxgrid control.

This utility allows you to easily update the structure of one .mdb file from another. It analyzes the source and creates the changes to the destination. It is a good tool for quick updates to multiple files. Please keep in mind that this was kinda 'thrown' together to serve my own purposes and is by no means a finished work.. it has helped me and I thought it might help someone else... :-)

It dynamically writes the code needed to create a new tables/fields in an Access 97 database. You simply add the new fields and it writes the code. This is particularly useful if you have an existing application and wish to add new supporting tables when you release new versions of the software. Uses CreateTableDef and CreateField. This utility has saved me a ton of time.

This code connects to a given SQL server and database and returns field info from a specified table. Handy if you need a quick printout of a table definition and you don't have time or patience to wait until EM has launched and connected to the server.

This copies, renames or deletes stored procedures on an SQL server. Also the ability to copy procedures cross database, or even cross server. This thingy is way easier and faster then the import/export wizard.

A report wizard which allows users to create their own simple reports and outputs them to a word doc. Includes sorting and criteria. I have modified this from Oracle to Access for demo purposes. I am also still working on it so any positive feedback would be appreciated. There are a few more things I would like to do like sort the Criteria operators according to datatype with, add totals. Feel free to use and modify. If you come up with anything good send it on!! This is the first app i have uploaded so I hope it works!!!!! Please read the attached readme file as there is a few things to do before the app works. i.e. add a query to a database.

Creating a user friendly error handler. This Friendly Error Handler pops up a VB liked dialog box to display error messages.

It lets the user compact any database including password protected ones. And it also over writes the old one. Uses no controls only API.

** Release 3 ** New cTREEVIEW features: Flat border; IsChildNode; CopyNode with cancel option; Cut Icon state. ADO example supporting: Load on demand; Find First/ Next/ Previous; Label Edit; Drag'n'Drop; Node & TreeView context menus; node specific Open/Closed/Drag icons. ADO Example now supports: New Nodes/Records can be added; copy treeview node(s); Cut/Copy/Paste through right-click context menu; and functions are now benchmarked with results displayed. ** Release 2 ** cTREEVIEW class features: Scroll treeview Up/ Down/ PageUp/ PageDown/ Home/ End using code; Dragging with auto-scrolling (not supported by Microsoft in the TreeView control); NodeFirstViewable; & NodeLastViewable. ADO Example fixes: Find Next/Previous didn't work if branches already loaded. cTREEVIEW class fixes: correct node drag icon displayed. cTreeview features include: fast clear a treeview; extended Add/Rename/Delete nodes; copy & move nodes through code &/or Drag'n'Drop including parent nodes onto child nodes (not normally possible!); find node using text and (optionally) key properties; check if a node is a parent of another; checks if a node is a root node; a safe get parent node text; right-click context menu (before/after click event); collapse/expand all nodes; collape/expand all child nodes; enable/disable redraw. This example shows how to:- work with multiple tables of data and load data on demand. As a bonus, I've included cDB class that encapsulates working with an Access Database using ADO. All code is heavily commented. If there are any routines that you feel are missing or code/bug-fixes that you wish to contribute, then please let me know and I'll add them in. *** Latest version can be found here:- http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=37553&lngWId=1 ***

TreeView control is one of the most overlooked controls by developers for use in database applications to display picklists. This is mainly due to the lack of data binding and time required to code. This wrapper does it for you! It simplifies the display of complex data relationships using ADO and the TreeView control. I've made it as generic and flexible as possible whilst significatly improving loading performance over manually coded methods. Features include:- --- Loading records on an "as-needed" basis when Nodes are expanded (includes optional control over the expanding of Nodes) - significatly reduces load time. --- Simple and complex data relationships with support for:- a). recursive record linking; b). many-2-one data relationships; c). one record can be displayed multiple times - each instance of the same record can be fully customised i.e. different images, colors, etc...; d). unlimited data relationships and nesting levels. --- "A pictures is worth a thousand words!" - color coded ranges; Images as warning indicators; color coded regions, etc... Built-in automatic support for customisation of *ALL* Node display properties on a "Per Record" basis - NO MANUAL CODING REQUIRED! (Does not use the .Tag property of each Node - does anyone want this property automatically filled?) --- User defined sorting - uses the SQL "ORDER BY" clause instead of each Node's .Sort property --- Custom filter criterias --- Persistance of data relationships (with associated icons). This gives several benefits: - a). the defined relationship is portable and can be stored in the registry, as a resource, record in the database, or to disk (in-built function); b). Bind your database to the treeview control with only 3 lines of code when using a persisted data relationship! c). Can copy any part (or all) of data relationships between different instances using the .Contents property; d). any modification to icons or filtering can be persisted allowing progmatic or user customisation between sessions &/or applications, users, etc... o ... Load-on-Demand (using its own wrapper class) is exposed for use with other non-ADO bound TreeView Controls within your application. It's very easy to Use the wrapper - Define a data relationship, point to the Database, and then the wrapper will do the rest. The zip file includes: all source codes, VBADOTree.Dll, Five (6) demonstration applications ranging from simple implementation of the Load-on-demand feature (non-ADO Demo) through to a complex inter-table relationship (9 tables) with recursive data structures, custom filter criterias, non-alphanumeric (custom user-defined) sorting, and conditional node properties. Both the Wrapper DLL and demonstration applications are fully commented. Demonstration applications also include very detailed comments and notes on how the data binding and automatic SQL building actually works. This should make implementation in your own projects very easy.

Fills a Hierarchical Flexgrid based on a Hierarchical Recordset (a one-to-many relationship). Uses the Northwind database. Code is documented.

Use UDL files for your dataconnections instead of DSN.

Read from and write to a database on a web site via simple ASP pages from within a VB program, if you do not count DIM statements then this is all done with just 4 lines of VB code (+ 25 or so in the ASP scripts). Uses ADO & XML. REQUIREMENTS: CLIENT PC: MS Internet Explorer 5.0 /5.5 (IE4 will not do) ADO 2.5+ XML (3.0 preferred) SERVER: IIS4+ or PWS ADO 2.5+ XML 3.0

This project demonstrates a number of important ADO Data Base - VB methods and utilities. 1. Paramount of these utilites, from my perspective, is how to get the totals from a database field as well as how to multiply the items in two DB Fields and then create another field to show the answer. In addition a running total is kept, showing the Sum of the multiplied fields. This is a feature that any inventory data base requires. 2. Make an ADO Connection without using the ADO Data Control. When a program uses the ADO Data Control(s) it hard connects the data base to a given directory ("C:\My Documents\MyDataBase.mdb"), or worse yet the directory that the program is design / built in; (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\MyDataBaseProgram\etc"). This connection causes havoc when the product is installed to a client's computer. Of course a work around for this is to make a DSN Connection, but this requires the inclusion of numerous files in your setup/install program. When the connection is made through the use of code as opposed to using the ADO Data Control the Database file is located / installed in the program's deployed directory and is easily connected to. 3. Deploy and show all of the data using the MS DataGrid Control. Program shows how to fill and set the Data Grid. This demo allows adding and deleting of records directly on the Data Grid (Although this method is not recommended due to lack of ease, the better method is to use the programs Text Boxes). 4. Program sets up a TextBox and recordset movement procedure that emulates the familiar data control methods, i.e., The user can move through the records - movement is apparent in both the Data Grid and the Text Boxes, and the Current Record and Number of Records are continously displayed and updated when records are added or deleted. 5. Program makes use of the MS Report Designer in lieu of Crystal Reports. I have used Crystal Reports in the past and had numerous problems. I now use the MS Data Report exclusively. If you have any questions/problems with this demo it will be in this area. Study the DataEnviornment and DataReport Designers Structure

I wanted a way to send messages to the users who are in an access database. This code opens and reads the ldb file for the database (that you specify on the form), reads the user names and sends a message....all without API calls. You can do a lot more with this obviously (I trimmed it down a lot for this forum). You will need one text box for the source of the ldb file (named txtLocation), one command button, and one text box for your message (named txtMsg).

I work with Access databases, and occasionally will need to update the front end on the server. With access, you can tell when all users are out when the ldb file is missing. Therefore I created this app that checks for that ldb file. When the file is missing it uploads a specified file to the specified directory. This works excellent for me so that I can update files when all users are out. Hope this is helpful to you. Feel free to add/change or make suggestions.
