Howdy,
I have an access database that I use to keep track of projects that my
group is working on. There are a number of files associated with any
one project, so I have [ProjectDescript ions] as a parent to
[ProjectFiles], which holds file paths for all of the most important
files (for easy access and tracking) and a short description of what
each file is. Now, sometimes a file (or a whole directory) will be
moved from outside the confines of the database, or the project folder
will be moved to a backup as the projects are completed, or something
else that makes the path in [projectfiles] not match up with the path
of the file any more.
So, is there a way to either:
Link the file to the database, so that if it moves it will update the
path accordingly;
or
execute a "find file" function that will search through folders and
subfolders looking for the file name (for instance, the saved path is
"C:\deals\JSInc omeStatement.xl s" and then it is moved to "C:\deals\J S
\JSIncomeStatem ent.xls", is there a way to search through C:\deals\
and find all of the files with the name JSIncomeStateme nt.xls, and
list them, and allow me to choose the one that I want?
Or any other possible workarounds?
Thanks,
Bigrabid

I like a good "find file" function, it's not to slow as long as the search
area can be kept small. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

A year or two back I needed a search script to scan thru HTML files
on a client site. Usual sorta thing. A quick search turned up a
neat script that provided great search results. It was fast,
returned the hyperlinked page title, filename, and the body txt (30
preceding and following words) in context with the search word
highlighted. Excellent.!

Aside from text within a document, Indexing Service let you search on

MusicAlbum let you find MP3 and other music files based on the singer
and album name; DocAuthor let you find Office documents created by a
certain user; DocAppName let you find files of a particular program,
and so on.

Hi All,
Is there any way I can specify additional dll search path, preferably in
web.config, which would be used by asp.net 2.0 when binding assemblies?
I have many dlls shared among applications and I prefer not to add them to
the GAC, but also I do not want to keep/manage multiple copies in every web
application's folder.
Thank you for any hints.

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,...
