1.What am I doing wrong??

Here is what I am trying:

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("\\server\all\sets\!!!!!PREFS
\Application Data", _
"C:\Documents and Settings\" & Environment.UserName & "\Application
Data\Adobe", True)
        MessageBox.Show("Done Resetting Application Data, Press OK to
Continue and reset Local Settings data", "Backup in progress...",
MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
        My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("\\server\all\sets\!!!!!PREFS
\Local Settings", _
"C:\Documents and Settings\" & Environment.UserName & "\Local Settings
\Application Data\Adobe", True)
        MessageBox.Show("Done Resetting Local Settings data, Press OK
to Continue.", "Backup in progress...", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Information)

I get the error that: \\server\all\sets\Application Data  is not
found, but it is there, and inside that folder I want to copy a folder
to c:\doc and set\user\application data\adobe

Also, will this work like this, one statement after another to do two
things?

thanks

2.What am I doing wrong - Trying to update

I have enclosed the sample code that I created.  I want to read in employee 
data, and modify a few fields.  I have tried to globally declare the objects 
that I need but I still am having problems.  I want to update in a seperate 
subroutine and seem to have problems.  HELP please.

Public Class Form1

    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
    Public cn As OleDb.OleDbConnection
    Public ds As DataSet
    Public da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
    Public rowEmployee As DataRow

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As

            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message & " :: " & ex.Source)

        End Try

    End Sub
End Class
---------------------------------------

When it runs I get the following error:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

on the             da.Update(ds)       line in the btnUpdate_Click routine.

HELP.

3.Project build problem - what am I doing wrong?

I have a program that needs to access a prewritten external data file
that is supplied with the program. I want to place this data file in
Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData\MyProgramFolder\

In the program's setup project I've done: Add Special Folder | User's
Application Data File, then within this created a folder called
MyProgramFolder, then Add File and pointed to a copy of my external
data file, which duly appears in the folder contents (EXCEPT that it
has a wavy line underneath!)

But unfortunately the resulting setup program does not install the
external data file where it should - in fact as far as I can see it
does not install it at all anywhere on the target PC.

Cany anyone advise what I'm doing wrong please? The fact that the file
entry has a wavy line underneath is presumably indicative of an error
but what's the cause and how do I fix it?

4.Table doesn't update - What am I doing wrong?

I have a form that has three textboxes on.  I want to be able to modify the 
FirstName, LastName, and Address

Here is the code to load the data
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As 
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim strSQL As String = "Select * from Contact where sysid = '" & 
g_sysID & "'"
        DB = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, CN)
        ES.Clear()
        DB.Fill(ES, "Contact")

        If ES.Tables("Contact").Rows.Count > 0 Then
            txtAddress.Text = 
ES.Tables("Contact").Rows(0).Item("con1_02_03")
            txtFirst_Name.Text = 
ES.Tables("Contact").Rows(0).Item("First_Name")
            txtLast_Name.Text = 
ES.Tables("Contact").Rows(0).Item("Last_Name")
        End If

    End Sub
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the code to update the table
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Private Sub btnUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As 
System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpdate.Click

        Try
            es.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("First_Name") = txtFirst_Name.Text
            es.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("Last_Name") = txtLast_Name.Text
            es.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("con1_02_03") = txtAddress.Text
            ES.AcceptChanges()
            DB.Update(ES, "Contact")

        Catch ex As Exception

            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)

        End Try

    End Sub
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Why doesn't the table update?  Can anyone give me an explanation and also if 
I need to change code, please tell me where to put the modifications?

Thanks,

Gary

5.Newbe question, What am I doing wrong

Hi,
I have two questions the first is: in the example below how can I call
an event from within a statement, such as replace Stop1 with cmdStop1
which is a button on my form?
My second question again deals with the example below. Shouldn't I see
the valve of " i" counting away in the  txtCount1 text box? I don't
see anything in the text box and would like to know what I'm doing
wrong. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Regards,
Ken



 Stop1 = 0
        Do
            For i As Integer = 1 To 10
                txtCount1.Text = i
                If Stop1 = 1 Then
                    Exit Do
                End If
            Next i
        Loop
    End Sub
