I see a few issues.

1. If the new string is longer than the declaration, overflow.
2. The way you declared the string is not a variable but a fixed string. You wrote you didn't declare a variable then you tried to treat it as a variable. You can't have it both ways.

Go ahead and declare the variable string so it's writeable.

@les_3. You write you tried all that but didn't tell in detail the results. I take it the Apple is dead to USB mice now and it's time to take it to the counter.

Define safely. Not once have I lost the hardware but occasionally one of the Windows fails to boot for a simple reason there is no "uninstall" for an OS. We have to know the boot system as well as have repair methods ready.

For me this would be the W10 USB full install stick I made with Microsoft's Media Creation Kit and full backups of what I can't lose.

With those tools at the ready I can remove the boot item from the boot manager (you have to know this area) and then after testing I can while in W10 head to disk management to remove the old W8 partition.

My first test is these mice on other machines. Then I'm looking at the Apple docs such as https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19094?locale=en_US

On item 7, recording streaming. I did have a fellow sorely confused about this. Settings for recording streaming are not the same as recording from the inputs so they burned on that. Eventually they settled on 2 apps. One for the hardware input and the other for streaming recording.

That is, it was too much for them to jot down how to configure for one or the other type recording.

Just in case you want to know more. Amazon has been working on such apps for years. There are folk that forget that such software is currently not open source so Fedex, Amazon and other companies have software teams on this topic. Once in a while a person new to this wants the codes. So far, nope.

I worry there is some hardware issue here. For example, all my machines can get recording going and if I forget I read a tutorial like https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/sound-recording-with-audacity-on-ubuntu/ again.

But here's the pin in the grenade problem. Not all PCs are the same so one time you can use the front panel jack and on the next PC only the rear ports work. Then you'll run into a dead jack and you feel like the pin was pulled as you stepped off the landmine. Double trouble as you work not only how to use the app but how to fix the PC.

PPPS. Take more time in making your posts. Show your work, show the code, read the next link and remember folk rarely write your code for you. Even more so when the dev system is Juarassic like VB6. Yes, you wrote looping in your message but the title had looing.

Read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/78060/read-this-before-posting-a-question#post364516

Even more reason to move forward. Visual Studio is what you need to start with, not this old thing. Google like this.
https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/

VB6 won't get you all this. Why not start with a current and FREE system?

PS. What is "looing"?
PPS. Picking up the programming? If your father is there, ask him to teach since you need to know how the apps work and more.

My first change would be off of VB6. It's been out of distribution for over a decade and what you learn on it, well, you would have to relearn in your new system.

Often the reason is because it was handed out for free or such, so to avoid getting yourself dated instantly go get the new free Visual Studio and start again in your quest.

It's been a week so help others help you and call out what line number you see it fail at. My reading of your problem statement has me looking at line 18. Is that it?

I just had a client get upset over VPN. It was for another reason and I thought I'd share it here. First the cause of the failure.
The VPN GEO relocates the device.

That is, to the web, the device (PC, phone, pad, etc.) now looks like it is in the country that the VPN connects to the internet.

So this can be a problem as Netflix and other apps depend on geo location to set what content and more is available. Apps may use this to determine date/time and other formats/data.

Not all apps have an override on location so they melted down that apps were breaking and dare I write this? Whined that apps should be VPN and Geo location independant.

I had to write nope. You use the sword, you get to take a few cuts.

To me this looks like you wanted quote marks in your string.

Look for the <br and the comma before that and the Hello string stopped there.

Till you get a handle on this, try putting your string into a string variable to help you see where the issue is.

@Chris. Take a step back and look at your portfolio. Besides all the above and that "title" for the post, do you carry in some example of your own work?

Sometimes you get folk that "want to code" but it's much more than that. You need to listen to the client needs, sketch out the solution, create the proposal, estimate and then get the go ahead before a line of code is created. In fact I think I spent 99% of my time doing other things than coding. All those other things plus coding is software development.

Recap. How's your portfolio looking?

@dinikarun, Sorry no. I only did a little research and your complaint is not new. But the answers in the prior discussions was to try other readers. This sounded to me that the OP has to do that testing and work.

@Gentlemedia. I'm currently using Ublock Origin too. Just to sniff out more I installed Privacy Badger to see what's up with that.

Seems a shame we have to uparmor browsers like this. Arms race continues.

I have to answer that learning how to google is ranked highly here. For example https://www.google.com/search?q=usa+programming+jobs+what+language+and+skills finds articles that seem to answer what language and skills are required.

What I often find that right out of college some never learned to research with google and are asking basic questions that a quick google would have given them a lead.

So my answer is "Your research skill."

@Mike

SPYHUNTER SPAM SITE!!!

https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/howtoremove.guide?utm_source=addon&utm_content=rw-viewsc is beyond unkind. That site has low ratings, hit bottom and may get worse.

Those IDs must exist and match what's on the form or database. They are also case sensitive. I don't have more than your post so in parting.

This_ID <> this_ID

Line 4 looks incorrect. Read http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php which has some examples for you.

Just because I'm trying some python stuff I looked at priors on this issue. Not once did they fix your issue except by changing to another Excel reader/writer or change to other than Excel for the data source. Other times the responders chided the OP about using Excel like this. So I take it you did your own research and found same. Your choice on the next move.

There is no symbol for switch. Read https://www.edrawsoft.com/flowchart-symbols.php

OK, so how to show a switch? That's easy. It's nothing more than more decision symbols. I see such at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22067090/how-do-i-draw-a-switch-statement-in-a-graphical-design

@Dani. Just in case, you want to comment on a side effect of your no results fix.

Get the no results screen up and pop down the Hardware and Software list. Now pop down Cloud based solutiions and the list rolls under the big purple area below.

Not a big thing at all.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Size+of+page+table+per+segment seems to indicate this is a homework assignment. Your posting scores here look to have gone negative because you appear to be asking for homework solutions. The same answer as last time seems to apply here.

It works when are results listed when I click Read in the top bar. Let me read them all and get the Read result to none.

When I click the Read in the top bar and it responds with "There are currently no results. Try again later." the Finder and other menus with pop downs stop responding. Read, Answer, Ask and <DANIWEB> work.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

10:48 PST. Now it's working.

I only tried from 2008 to later but not 2015. But will share I only needed to open the solution file in VS and then correct my app to work in the new VS.

I'm used to "porting" my apps to other systems so to me this is just work. I don't expect such transitions to be flawless so if my apps don't work, it's dig in and find out why.

You asked "how to migrate my files?" Here that was simple. I copied my project folders to my new laptop.

Ooops. The top header shows the menus and such but do nothing yet. Will flush cache and try again.

Added with Edit. Cleared browser cache and while the menus show, they are current inoperative.

OK Dani,

Here goes. Let's say I have a MySQL server and my goal is to "show all tables and fields and size". My first step has nothing to do with VB at all. What is my first step?

-> I run my SQL command line tool and create the command needed to show all tables on the SQL server. That is then written down for later use in my VB app. Next I craft my SQL command to the table structure then size and note that for my VB app.

Now I'm almost ready to start my VB app work. I'm running into folk that won't work on their apps in a stepwise method. Hopefull this will get them going.

Ahh, you don't have a coding problem but a design problem. That is, you have not broken done the problem to STEPS (emphasis mine) that you can code and solve for the larger problem.

OK, back to school. Remember your System Design classes. You start with your problem statement then break it down into steps. If you have a step you can't solve, you break that step down into small steps.

-> Take your problem statement and break it down.

And yet another error message. If you are trying different statements, share the statement and the error message for that statement.

Otherwise I can't follow. Maybe no one can.

I'd re-read the link I shared and sort out the JOIN.

Your top edit. Now it looks confused. The error text doesn't match your SQL statement.

Even so, I'd practice the JOIN on a command line (without the update) until I found the right set.

My first glance tells me you would use USING or ON but not both.

The file systems with 0, 1 and 3 per cent are suspect. Why not work on that?

PS. Added with edit. Compare free space on these mount points on your working server to this failed server.

Let's say you changed something. Now put it back the way it was.

As to space, you have yet to share much about space on all devices in your system tree (fstab info.)

Parting advice. Your server is working? Don't fix it.

@fo2sh. The message told you a reason why. But are you reporting it was too unclear?

Tell the forum how you got this far without basic knowledge of disk space, etc.

Sorry fo2sh, but the error seems to tell you something interesting. Are you unable to check free space?

What's the goal here?
a) Create your own social web site.
b) Learn programming.

I ask since it's it's option a you don't write it from scratch today. Read http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/the-5-best-open-source-social-networking-software/

If it's option b, then your question needs refinement. Share what code passage you are stuck on.

To me this is deeper than one line of code. From the beginning of time (as in when I began to code GUI things) I would have code to set up the button's event handler then some function that would be called to do what I wanted when the event happened.

Your one liner looks incomplete and ineffective. Remember that this forum rarely supplies a working code passage so share your work so far along with if you are using that "processing" javascript system.

Nod to ransomware. As most programmers know, now is when your backups really count. We only lose what we didn't backup.

Pictures? No code. But someone has it completed in a codepen ready for you to look over how they did it.

Hi Bb, I can't guess why prior examples don't work for you. Try
https://www.google.com/search?q=button+shows+click+count+javascript+example

@Violated. Line 4 shows nothing. If you post incomplete code, you risk incomplete answers.

While you are correct, many can't write the code to do that. Why not use AUTOIT scripts instead?

Just asking, why line 3 here? Just remove and fix line 5.

Nice revamp. But can you save us a click? That is, if I click on Read on the top bar and there are no results, the top bar is gone and I have to click on <DANIWEB>. Call me lazy.

Step through your failed line of code. Echo/print/debug what those values are to see why it may fail.

As I read from https://kivy.org/#home I found no reason why connecting a kivy app would be any different from any other app.

As such to connect would be done just like you do in any other system. That is you setup you central server and then write your code to interact with your server as you wish.

No programmer I know does this. But if you must, try ones found with https://www.google.com/search?q=compiler+that+runs+on+android+phone

Android programmers tend to be on a PC with Android Studio. I can't imagine why anyone would do otherwise on Android today.

As others noted, you may have reasons to do this but my view is you should pick an opensource project and contribute to it's development.
