I guess the idea of that is instead of using string functions to find the different combinations in a sorting routine. Say the original string is "chain", then c =0, h = 1, a = 2, i =3, n =4.
So...

What part do you not understand?

What I want to do is take a string and find all possible combinations of the characters in the string.

Is there a VB function to allow you to construct counters using different number systems ie base 3, base 4, base 5, 6, 7 etc ?

You need error-trapping for your textboxes, for instance:

If Not IsNumeric(Text1.Text) or Not IsNumeric(Text2.Text) Then
MsgBox ("Invalid Entry")
Exit Sub

Thanks for that, Comatose,
the project I'm working on at the moment could have multiple instances of Word running at once (all launched from my application), but I decided to limit it to one at a...

During the program, Word is opened and displays a document.
When Word is closed by clicking X or selecting File>Exit, the program must detect the event and reset controls.
How is that done, anyone?

Hi Comatose,
That's exactly what I was after, you haven't left me much to do !
It even finds stuff thats been 'emptied' from the recycle bin, I had forgotten the power of batch files. Thanks again,...

I need to search the pc for all files with a particular extension. Can anyone point the way ?

Hello, and welcome
Try the attached project. Needs a bit of work still, but it basically does what you want.

If you need the data you've entered to still be there when the program is run, you...

You'll have to post an example of your code

I must admit SStab is something I never heard of either, so I guess I wouldn't be any help to Bang with that, but here it is on MSDN:

Hope it gets you a bit farther.

Do you need the first checkbox already in the first picturebox, or should it appear the first time you click Command1?

Hi, sorry for the delay - what you need is to use SetParent.

Here are tutorials that will help you:

You will need to give a basic explanation of what the program is meant to do. Plain simple language will do fine.

If all Timer2 does is count down 3 secs then switch to Timer1 then the code needed would be something like this:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
txt2Sec.Text = 3
Timer2.Enabled = True
End...

Yes, post something of what you've done so far, making it a little clearer what you need to do.

This may help:

It's not really clear what you need. Can you explain a little more?

Hello, and welcome.
Can you give us a little more information on what you're trying to do?

Aah...thought you meant you didn't like it, actually I don't, but lets face it, all the info seems to be there if you can find it. Anyway, thanks for enlightening me, I'm sure it won't be the last...

why not?

Thanks for that, Invisal
The Mod operator isn't mentioned in any of the books I have. I suppose I should browse MSDN more!

Hi, Invisal, I know I should have done a proper example, like

If x / 2 = Int (x / 2) Then
'it's even so do something
Else
'it's odd, so do something else
End if

Just wondering...

Say your variable is called x.

If x / 2 = Int(x / 2) then it's even, otherwise it's odd. That should work for you. The Int function rounds down to the nearest whole number.

It's also said that Gates's DOS was mostly 'dumpster-dived' OS/2, No wonder he grins all the time.

Nice one.
