You may have been better opening a new thread rather than adding to an existing (and old one).

It all depends how your barcode reader plugs into the computer. If it has a PS2 keyboard connector,...

October 2001 is the newest MSDN for VB6 - you could search for it in certain places, but it would be wrong of me to condone such activity ;)

As previous posts have said, the MSDN stuff is...

I have seen loads of examples of this kinda thing around the Internet, and plenty of people asking for examples on how to do it too.

Google is your friend on this one... if you're willing to put...

Not all are the same. If they are a serial/rs232 connected scanner, they don't work in this way and will require either a device driver, or as ithelp said, some guidance from the vendor to know how...

I'll second what vb5prgmr has said about only having connections open when they are needed.

Also, have you monitored to see how much free RAM your PC has remaining when it approaches the time...

As far as I can tell you'd need to work out how to connect to the device first and then send a request to grab the SMS.

If you were only coding it to have a program that does what you need, look...

Do you mean if you have a VB application which was running, and is killed using task manager - you want that application to return an msgbox to the user saying it has ended?

I don't think that...

You say you want to read from an Excel sheet to a text file, but your code shows you opening a text file for input. I don't know how you usually read from an Excel sheet, but I don't think you can...

Is it a MySQL database?
First you'd need to make sure your host allows connections from outside of their network (I mean this as in my friend's host SQL server only allows internal connections from...

.Bind is used in UDP to "attach" the application to a particular local port. Whereas .Listen is used in TCP to allow clients to connect according to the LocalPort provided.

There is a bit more...

Does the client connect to the server OK first of all?
If you cant connect, then its likely to be related to a networking issue (i.e. a firewall stopping the connection going through).

Are you...

Object Browser within VB6 says:



Say (for example's sake) I have a form called frmMainWindow.
I want to open the form as it is and display it onscreen, so I would do
frmMainWindow.Show
I can...

If you are using an ADO recordset to get the information from the database, you can put the data pretty much anywhere you like, so a flexgrid should work fine :)

If you're unsure about ADO and...

Or... use the strReverse command


Private Sub PalindromeTest(ByVal sWord As String)
Dim sReversedWord As String

sReversedWord = StrReverse(sWord)

If StrComp(sWord,...

I believe it stores DSN information in the registry, so you could try doing it that way. I don't know how you would do this (never done it before myself) - I'm just offering an idea on how to do what...

This is what I would recommend also.
You could perhaps have a method which adds the user to the database, and another method which updates the user if they already exist.
Then, you could check if...

@Debasisdas - At my last place of work, they used scanners with an RS232 interface.
These didn't work in the same way as the PS/2 and some USB scanners and we had to use an ActiveX control for the...

Try doing a search on the forums, there are plenty of similar threads about - some of which have responses.
You haven't given us much information to go off really as there are different connection...

Update - I've found some old code from my previous job (at Woolworths) for the EPoS system functionality - if its similar hardware, I might have a solution already :)

Let us know...

Not really - you can't really secure an Access file much other than that. Unless you use some sort of Windows directory access and use the front end under a different user which has permissions to...

You can put a password on the database file so you can't just double click to open it.
Then you would provide the password in your Connection string in VB6 (when connecting to the database) using...

What brand is the EPOS equipment?

What base operating system are you using on the till?

Hi, sorry for the slow reply.

Just looked in Object Explorer for the Outlook object.

Try Mailobject.SentOn
It is a property that returns the date the email was sent on.
Alternatively,...

You pretty much have it spot on in your first post swappy...
I use this code to check the connection state:

If oConnection.State = adStateOpen Then
oConnection.Close
End If

Nice post vb5prgrmr - wish I had though of that when I started using access with vb6 lol :)

As for using Access, Comatose posted a sticky in the VB4/5/6 section about this very subject -...

Just noticed Comatose's "Read Me" thread at the top of the VB4/5/6 forum - http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread41057.html
That'll come in really useful for you :)

I personally use a .mdb database (despite using Access 2007, I use an Access 2000 format database) and I use ADO to connect to the database without any problems.

Unless there is any particular...

It depends on the scanner type.
If it is one which plugs in-line with your keyboard (scanner cable plugs into PS2 port on your PC, and keyboard plugs into the scanner cable), then it will just scan...

I got around my problems with Winsock by checking connection state before attempting to connect. If it is in any state other than closed, it would close the connection first and then attempt to...

I love the inability of some people to try the Search functionality on this forum to find what they want.
On page 3 of the VB6 section, there is a link to this......

Quick update - this appears to be a way of fixing this issue.
I recently reinstalled VB6 on a machine at work following a rebuild. I got the odd font appearing again in the Options screens etc.

I...

Apologies... I had not noticed that button (not to mention I've been on the juice tonight aswell :)) I'll remember that in future.

I noticed for your new method you did not have an End Sub and the line of hyphens above the next method header did not have a preceding apostrophe to let VB know it is a comment. I've made those...

I'm not 100% that this is a VB related question...
Can a mod move it to a more appropriate section on the forum? It might help the OP get a better answer.

Hi domyg, welcome to DaniWeb.

VB is alright, but its only really compatible with Windows. C++ is more cross-platform (dependant on the code used) and Java; whilst cross-platform compatible like...

For capturing good/wrong guesses, you could piggy back onto the code which either draws another limb onto the Hangman, or updates the text boxes for a valid guess.

There is something similar in...

aktharshaik,

I had made my version to work with any length of word. What I didn't take into account was multiple words (to form phrases etc.) - I only really noticed that when I looked at the URL...

You could lock the top text field ("Locked" in the properties when looking at the form in VB) to stop the text field being edited.
Needless to say, if a correct character is entered after the top...

This actually got me thinking... and gave me something to try out.
To be honest, it will come in extremely useful for my son to play on when he gets a little older :)

I've completed it with a bit...

Hm, can't edit my last post... I presume it was a while ago at least.

Apologies if this is a bit rough around the edges, but as I said before, I am a little rough around the edges myself at the...
