Are you trying to load files into your project? If so, use the common dialog object to go find the file you're looking for. YOu can also use the app.path object to locate the file, if it is in the same folder as the project itself.

If the above is not the case, then possibly when you're compiling, you're not adding the dlls that you need into the project during the run of the packaging and deployment wizard.

Be a little more explicit of what the project is trying to find and maybe some one can help you more.

me

the project is abt a small supermarket shop
and i got my mistake
firstly i didnt add the animation object in the folder and secondly i didnt compile the ocx required comc232 (something like that..)
and thanx..
thanx..

So, why not add in the ocx and the animation object and recompile the project. If it works with that, you're done; otherwise you'll need to look at how you open files, whether the files have fixed names, or whether the user will be able to select their own file(s) or save using their own specified names. The common dialog box will work best for you in that case.

can anyone here post me the site where i can learn advanced vb
thanx

and cud anyone tell me how to fade a form without using any addition ocx or dll files.. plz urgent for my project

So, koolabhi4:

Why don't you include a spash screen while your program is loading. That's very impressive for a project - and quite easy to do!

me

how can u get a splash effect ?
i know the normal ones..
but i want a splash screen which fades into effect ...

Sorry, but I don't know how you make it fade. YOu might find a "how to" in the msdn files at microsoft.com

i found out one but it says to use opacity
when i try to put opacity line in the vb declarations it gives me an error..
