Please don't be offended when I ask...
"assignment or on-the-job data theft" ?

You have no source code... you sound like you have no information about the format of the data... you sound like you don't have access to the actual database... You just want some way to take a bunch of records as they are being displayed in one application and pull them into another.

Personally, it doesn't sound like you work for data programming department or you would have a lot more resources within your own company for this project.

Formatting text w/VB.NET

by: Mark Brown | last post by:

How do you format text in VB.NET? In VB6, I'd use something like: format(foo,"!@@@@@@@@") to get a string to fill 8 places even if it was only 3 (for example). This simple convention apparently doesn't exist in VB.NET. I've looked all around and I can't find a single example on how you would code this in VB.NET. Anyone have an example they can share or point me to some examples? Thanks, Mark

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
