Hi all,
I have an inventory application I'm writing for the company I work for
and realized the path for the Access database might reside on a network
drive. I have used Microsoft's Add Data Source method of adding the db to
the app. How could I customize this so the path can be changed. I found
that the connection is a ReadOnly property and cannot be changed.
Thanks,
Tony K

I'm assuming that you're using VB.NET for your application.
When you run the add data source wizard in VS2005, it will create an
application variable called "ConnectionStri ng" in your applications's config
file ("MyInventoryAp p.exe.config", for example). That can be changed by any
text editor.
Were you wanting the user to be able to change it via the user interface?

Yes, I was hoping to be able to program say a "Tools" form and allow the
user to select where the database resides then write that info to a config
file or store that path in the registry or something like that.

Chris,
How would I access the config file? The filename is
Inventory.exe.c onfig and the info that I would need to access is:
<connectionStri ngs>
<add
name="Daily_Foo ds_Inventory.My .MySettings.Inv entory_manageme nt_databaseConn ectionString"
connectionStrin g="Provider=Mic rosoft.Jet.OLED B.4.0;Data
Source="|D ataDirectory|\I nventory management database.mdb&qu ot;"
providerName="S ystem.Data.OleD b" />
</connectionStrin gs>

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
