IMPORT FROM FLOPPY

In my access 97 program i transfer my data in a DATA.mdb tot a floppy
( i know there are better ways, but tell that to my boss) So far no
problems.
But i would like a button on my program that i just click and the code
behind it reads my floppy and updates my records on another computer
with my program ( no we have not yet a network at the office).

If anyone know a simple code to read from a floppy and update the
records, I would welcome that help.

TX, anyone, anywhere, anyhow, anytime.

Hi, Peter.
If anyone know a simple code to read from a floppy and update the
records, I would welcome that help.
Check out the TransferDatabas e method in Access Help to transfer the entire
table to the database on the other computer. However, if you don't want to
replace the entire table in the other database, then you'll need to create a
query that identifies what records need to be updated and then update only
those fields that need to be changed.

HTH.

In code I check to see if the Floppy drive is ready and display it's state. But if the user inserts or removes a floppy disk I need an event or a Wndproc message to cause the code to display the new state. Is the some way the code can be alerted to the fact that a removable disk drive's state changed? I wonder if the above isn't clear.

Hi, I recently started playing around with the DAAB from Microsoft as part of the Enterprise Library (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0325B97A-9534-4349-8038-D56B38EC394C&displaylang=en). So far it has been pretty neat, but when I went to implement the DAAB within an ASP.NET application I began getting some weird side effects. I used essentially the same code that was given in one of the quick start tutorials...

If I periodically check to see if the floppy is ready, the drive will each time make a little noise. I've been up against this before and could never find a way to check to see if the floppy drive is ready without making the drive make that grinding noise. Does anyone know a way? Thanks in advance

Hey, is there any way to save a file to a floppy disk using php? The server will be linux and the local computer will be windows. I need it so the user can put a disk in the drive, hit go, the php page will create an excel file, save it to the users floppy drive and then tell him to put another disk in and hit ok to restart the cycle again. This will continue until all the needed files are build. I know how to do everything except...

I don't suppose there is any way to tell if there is a floppy in a floppy drive without activating the drive and causing it to make a noise if there is no floppy in the drive. Is there? Thanks

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
