About the Web robot...

I can't get it to work. Plenty of objects are missing when I run it. What am I doing wrong? I Copy/pased the code, added the buttons as suggested, but nothing...

Object missing when I push New Search => frmNewSearch.Show1 in New Search Sub.

Object missing when I push Open Search => With CD
  .Filter = "Search databases | *.mdb"

I'm new at VB-programming so there might be an obvious mistake I just don't know about...
Please help

Still debugging this myself. Instructs are a bit on the pants side!

To cure the CD snag you need to add Microsoft Common Dialog from Project->Components menu option.

This will add an icon to left hand toolbar. Drag this onto form, highlight it and change the Name in properties to CD.

Still mucking about, seems to be a report form missing. Might post further if I can be bothered to get it working.

you havn't submitted all of the resources (e.g. the code links to a form called frmNewSearch which doesn't exist

Thanks for using this code and posting comments. I have rechecked the code, all the files are available. The form you mentioned is also available, the file name for that form is "frmSearch.frm" but i have named it as "frmNewSearch" (in code).

Thanks,

I was attempting to run the program and ran into a few problems I was hoping someone could help me out with.
First problem is the CnLinks.Open
Code:
strConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51;"
strConnect = strConnect & "Persist Security Info=False;"
strConnect = strConnect & "Data Source = " & gDataFileName

Set cnLinks = New ADODB.Connection
Set rsURL = New ADODB.Recordset

cnLinks.ConnectionString = strConnect
cnLinks.ConnectionTimeout = 10
cnLinks.CursorLocation = adUseNone
cnLinks.Open

I'm also having a problem with the Inet1.RequestTimeout = 30
and all the other Inet1 calls.. It gives me the error of variable not defined.


There are a few things that do not work with this program.. Please can someone help me out here..
I would greatly appreciate any help at all
