Open Files, Close Files
In the cmdProcess Procedure I have the Close_Files so I can force the Generate_Size_Report to be written to the txt.file. But when i put the Open_files in the Procedure it clears the txt.file so How can I make the files be written to the txt.file while the program is still running. And i need to keep the file as Output.
Private Sub cmdProcess_Click()
Generate_Size_Report
Close_Files 'I think The Problem is Right Here
Open_Files 'Or right here
End Sub
Private Sub Generate_Size_Report()
Print #2, "Extra Large: ", ELarge_Accum
Print #2, "Large: ", Large_Accum
Print #2, "Medium: ", Medium_Accum
Print #2, "Small: ", Small_Accum
End Sub
Private Sub Close_Files()
Close #1
Close #2
End Sub
Private Sub Open_Files()
Open "a:jimspizza.txt" For Append As #1
Open "a:jimsSizeReport.txt" For Output As #2
End Sub

Open LDT Files
I'm a rookie in VB.
I'm making a catalogue for my company and I'm using VB6.
I need to open a file with LDT extension.
The LDT works with Dialux which opens in windows if we use the right click of the mouse and choose "open with dialux project".
I don't need to see the file, just to open it in Dialux.
Somebody told me drag n drop could do the business but I can't find in internet command or help.
Can you help me using a command within VB6?

Open Files
I want to allow the user to open a picture file and put it in a picturebox. Basicly, I have no idea how to do this. I have a textbox for opening the file and a browse button that is supposed to help you look for the file and it will type in the address for you in the textbox. Then when you click the display button the picture will apear in the picturebox; and you can do this again and again.
Here is an example of some code i cutpasted form my VB help:
Code:
Private Sub mnuFileOpen_Click ()
' CancelError is True.
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
' Set filters.
CommonDialog1.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*|Text _
Files (*.txt)|*.txt|Batch Files (*.bat)|*.bat"
' Specify default filter.
CommonDialog1.FilterIndex = 2
' Display the Open dialog box.
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
' Call the open file procedure.
OpenFile (CommonDialog1.FileName)
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
' User pressed Cancel button.
Exit Sub
End Sub
Because of something said in my VB help, I think this would have worked if I had commdlg.dll loaded, but for some reason it would not go into the references or components box.
Also I dont really have a clear idea wht to do after I get the Open File box working so help on that would be great too.
P.S. I would really like to understand this, not just cut/paste it, Thanks!

Open VB 6 Files In VB 5
Hey, I wondered if there was an easy way to open VB 6 files in VB 5. I use 6 at home which is fine but when i want to open these files at school with VB 5 it is very awkward. The only way i can do it is by manually opening the .vbp file with notepad and removing a couple of lines (Retained=0, DebugStartupOption=0, CodeViewDebugInfo=0). I hope there is a much easier way to do this. It is extremely annoying to do it constantly as i move between the two applications a lot. Thanks in advance!

Open Files
I have a routine that opens quite a few text files at the same time. Since, I have no Idea at the start of the routine how many files will be opened(the code determines this based on the contents of other text files) I am using the FreeFile() function to get the file number for the open method.
Code:
filenumber1 = FreeFile()
Open pathii For Append As #filenumber1
Is there any way of programatically generating a list of all of the open files. I need to write an error handler that will close all of these text files if an error occurs in my routine.

Too Many Files Open
Hi,
I have an VB6 Application that runs Crystal Reports 8.5 for user selected accounts, now if the user selects 40 different reports for lets say 20 accounts, then I will get 20 x 40 reports open with my viewer form, but if user selects one more account to run reports, then I get the "too many files open" error.
So, to try to bypass this problem, I am trying to dynamically copy the report file to a new uniquely generated file name, and run the report instance with the copied report file, that way I will always have only one instance for any given report, what can I say, its a very good idea, and it works too, with one BIG problem, the is a multi-user app (or so my client says) so, I need a way to kill the generated report file at the time the user closes the Report viewer form (at unload or terminate) because as long the form is open I should still have the report file name in the local variables, but I am getting the permission denied even after report is set to nothing and so on.
So how can I delete the report file right before the form is close?
Thanks

I want to open a file from a VB application. The file could be an MP3 or could be an Excel file, or a Word Document or a JPEG Image.
How could I do that, using the same code to open all kind of file.
A friend recommend me to use API, but I don't know how to use it.
He said something about an OpenFile Function, but I don't remember.
Well let me know your opinion.

Windows Open Files
All,
Is there a way to retrieve open files from a windows system as they appear.
Note : I found a function but it retrieve open files on a T time and not reading the stream ( takes more than 15 seconds for 5000 open files => I can only have the open files every 15 seconds and miss quite all of them )
Thanks in advance for your answers
