Try UN registering the ocx, then immediately re-register it. This fixed most of my problems with Vista. It's a Vista registration issue, not your code.

I was here looking for a solution that I didn't find, but have since figured it out so I thought I'd post it as I doubt I'm the only one who has had the need. The issue is - How do you have Crystal print to a 'Named Printer' without …

If you haven't gotten past this issue, I can sympathize with you. It took me many hours as well. The answer is actually in BizObjects Knowledgebase, but it isn't so obvious what to look for. Query their KB for "[B]OCX RDC[/B]" and find the technical paper "[B]Migrating from the OCX …

I wasted hours and hours on the same problem only to find an obscure solution. There is a problem with registering an ocx and some DLLs with Vista. After you install your program, use Regsvr to UNregister the dll, then immdiately re-register it. For the ocx problems I had, just …

I have a legacy VB6 application; simple VB6 front end and Access backend database. Works fine on Win 2000, WinXP, Vista, and 32-bit Win7. Bought a new laptop and everything seems to be shipping with 64-bit Windows now. Out of the box, the application worked fine after I manually re-registered …

There will be two posts minimum... First, I'll refer you to the Knowledgebase Articles that give the needed information, and second I'll give you code samples to run a report given the methods I use. Specifically, I access a SQL or Access database via ODBC, but either database will work …

I'm not even sure where to post this, but since I wrote the code in VB6, maybe here... This is really more of an Outlook problem, but what I'm doing is programatically creating email. Here's the problem. My VB6/Access application is installed on a Vista machine, and the host machine …

Has anyone taken a machine running Vista, then tried to add XP as a second OS to dual boot ?

First of all, as jbennet says, Microsoft did commit to supporting VB6 and it DOES so indicate that on their web site. I tested installing VB6 on a machine with a virgin copy of Vista Home and it installed fine. I wiped the machine clean, and reinstalled Vista to have …

but has anyone tried to Install Win XP on a machine already running Vista ?

There is another post out here on this... saying that Vista puts some boot related files in the "primary" partition, and that if you delete that first partition, as you suggested you did, you've lost the boot files. I'd try the Partition Magic program to see if you can format …

If you're running XP and go to install Vista, the install process will allow you to make the machine duel boot as long as you have enough disc space and install Vista in a new partition. On the item of sharing documents... I used to use Partition Magic, one of …

[quote=intellogo;327804]Hi.. I have a table: PROFESSOR in ms access, that has 2 fields: "Name" and "Location". The table has 10 records. And i have made a vb form with a combo box that will show a list of available locations from the database table, when it is dropped down. So, …

[quote=neshinator;224668]Hi all, Wondered if you can help with this problem. I have created a report in Crystal reports that is accessed by an application created in VS.net 2005. The report relies on the user inserting parameters to filter the report but when the report is accessed via the application the …

I've never had to append before, but to "overwrite" as you say, just delete the file before you re-create it. In VB6 its just Kill Filename where Filename is a fully qualified file name.

The first thing I have to tell you is to consult the VB migration guide and make sure the control you are using is still supported with Vista. There is a list of controls that are still supported, and a list that are not. I've already changed applications to drop …

Look up the Selected property for the ListBox control. Dim i as integer For i = o to lstBox.ListCount If lstBox.Selected(i) then lstBox.RemoveItem i Exit For Endif Next i

I want to chime in with something too Joe. One of the points Darkang made was good diagnostics, and I've been telling students for years that a good language processor provides good clear messages. Compare that to some of the database products and you'll get a headache. When I got …

I wrote a VB6 application to generate email for my application. I can generate plain text messages just fine, but I really want to have the message in RTF format. Does anyone know how to generate the text in Rich Text Format? Somehow I think this is going to end …

Then something went wrong with the install. You have the correct components identified, but you have to have them references in your VB project for Crystal to work.

There isn't any simple solution to this problem, but maybe I can educate you a bit. Look up the SQL commands Union and Interesect to see if they may apply in this situation. When faced with this, sometimes I make a new temporary table just to help with the retrieval …
