Hi Oxiegen,

Thank You very much for you kind response. Its really work. But i still facing 1 problem which is the total amount doesn't reduce and still remain the same.
Can you help me on this....PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP!!!

THANK YOU

Well.
I don't know how the code for GetFileContents() looks like, so it's impossible for my to determine why it doesn't work.
Perhaps you should take a look and determine when and how the variables dTotal and ServiceC are assigned.

hi,

this is my code for GetFileContents(). I have no idea whr the codes goes wrong.....
PLEASE guide me.....

Public Sub GetFileContents()
        Try
            Dim aStr(8) As String

                Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME)
                Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1
                    aStr = Split(objReader.ReadLine(), ";")
                    SESSION_AGENCY_NAME = aStr(0)
                    SESSION_AGENCY_ACCNO = aStr(1)

hi,

it hit error right after ========>

SESSION_AGENCY_BILLAMO = aStr(5)

GetFileContents() -> Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Please guide as i not sure where to fix it. TQ

Ok, I'm just assuming based on original question that the listview only contains 5 columns.
So, let's try this:

Public Sub GetFileContents()
   Try
      Dim aStr() As String = New String() {}
      Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:\Program Files\Autopay Terminal\BillPaymentRecords.txt"

      If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
         Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME)
         Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1
            aStr = Split(objReader.ReadLine(), ";")
            SESSION_AGENCY_NAME = aStr(0)
            SESSION_AGENCY_ACCNO = aStr(1)
            SESSION_AGENCY_BILLNO = aStr(2)
            SESSION_AGENCY_BILLAMO = aStr(3) 'Change from 5 to 3
            SESSION_AGENCY_BILLINT = aStr(4)

            If aStr(3).Trim <> "" Then
               dTotal += CDbl(aStr(3).Trim) '.Replace("RM", "")
            End If
            If aStr(4).Trim <> "" Then
               ServiceC += CInt(aStr(4).Trim) 'Replace("RM", "")
            End If

            nTotlistrec = ListView1.Items.Count
            If nTotlistrec < 10 Then
               addListView(aStr(0), aStr(1), aStr(2), aStr(3), aStr(4))
            End If
         Loop
      End If
   Catch ex As Exception
      WriteToLogFile("GetFileContents() -> " & ex.Message)
   End Try
End Sub

hi,

actually i have 6 array and array (5) carries the value of total amount and this part i already fix it by changing the codes in delete function to save the records again using the same function i did before....
Now the problem is when i delete 1 record out of 5 records and i exit the application just to check whether it have the remaining 4 records. The text file is empty.
I am really need your guidance as i need to accomplish this project. Below is my code for DELETE BUTTON. Please guide me. Thank You

So you decided to do this instead?
No wonder it's doesn't work and that the textfile is empty.

If what I gave you works, then use it.
In the method GetFileContents you already have the code in place to calculate the total.

There is no need to actually store the totals, just let the program calculate it.

HI,

the reason for remarks the code that you have given is because it gives error
GetFileContents() -> Index was outside the bounds of the array because your code creates another column for numbering which i didnt use it when the time coming to record saving(i use only 6 array). Do you think the modification i did is wrong. Morever the code you given delete the particular record and creates new textfile which with new record but it doesn't recalculate the new amount.When i check the text file it contains record like this =====> 1;AGENCY_A;15154545;F6664253;50.12
Actual record save function save to text file like this ======> AGENCY_A;15154545;F6664253;50.12;1.00;51.20;
what i should do now.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GUIDE ME ON THIS. i have spend more than 2 day doing the same things.

hi,

i still havent got the reply. Please i realy need help to solve this
Please guide !!!!!1

I have now tested this code, and it works flawlessly.
And as a side-note. That Select..Case statement you've got going.
No matter what agency you choose, data(1) to data(5) will contain the exact same thing.
The only reason to use such a statement, is if you change the order or if one of the data(1) to data(5) will contain something else.
This is clearly not the case.
