Waiting for work to be completed by coder. Max Accepted Bid: Bidding is closed Project Type: Very Small Business Project: under $100 (USD) Bidding Type: Open Auction Categories: Windows, Database, Visual Basic, Access Enter chat room for this bid request (1 active users at Jul 21, 2003 3:00:19 PM EDT) Description: UPDATED 9 July 2003 =================== EXTRA attention will be paid to coders who could include the ability to do the following: - log into a web site (using a URL, account name and password) - download a specified database (old DB-B) - compare and update with database (DB-A) - create the new databse (new DB-B) - upload the new database to the web site. I need a simple program to be be written in VB. The program needs to open two MS-ACCESS Databases. DB-A is the master database and holds all the correct information. DB-B is the slave and may be out of date. The program will open both DB-A and DB-B, proceeding through each record in the DB-A table. It will scan DB-B against the primary key in DB-A and change all fields in DB-B that need to be updated. The user will use a file selection object to select Db-A and DB-B, both for convenience, the program shall default to the last file name used. To make a bid the Database structure should not matter to you at this stage. Thanks! Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.

It enables you to upload and download files. I wrote it very quick in under 2 hours so there may be the odd bug. I wanted to prove the concept to you that in VB I can connect to a remote server. I don't know if the project you are referring to is to be accessed using FTP or HTTP but it is largely irrelevant as I can access both. As for the actual database side of things I think that is the easy part and do this sort of thing in my everyday life on nearly a daily basis. Good luck and best wishes. PS. If the program does not work it may be that you require DLLs that I haven't sent. I wanted to keep the zip as small as possible. Attached File           See 7 private reply(ies) to/from garynewelluk.
