 | I agree with Comatose. VB can't find a command button named "cmdDeptStoresMC". Either the command button name is mis-spelt, or the form which contains it is not loaded in memory. |
| | I have VB 5 learning edition which has suited me fine thus far believe it or not! One thing has really been annoying me for quite some time. I can't find how to set the command buttons forecolor (at least with the VB version I have). Backcolor is no problem, … |
| | I have been given the following code to convert a string to a "byte array" (which is then passed to other software) but it does not appear to work. I have practically never needed to use a function and am even less familiar with the data type byte and Hex … |
| | Quickbasic 4.5 will run under Windows XP home edition as it is on my machine and does run o.k. I don't use it anymore though. The problem with the old DOS programs is the memory restriction (just the 640K) to play with however large the actual physical memory is on … |
| | Re: ComboBox Events I think you need to explain the problem in more detail; I don't understand the question.  |
| | I have a program that produces various reports. I need a way to send the reports to MSWorks/MSExcel. At the moment the reports are sent to a locked scrollable text box on-screen. This allows you to copy and paste the information to most word processor programs o.k. Unfortunately as I'm … |
| | Quickbasic 4.5 for MSDOS was rather good - made me a lot of £. Hmm. I don't have any progs that won't run on my Windows XP home edition, though qbasic is even older. Qbasic was before Mr gates (who knows BASIC well, in fact that is what MSDOS was … |
| | Thus far I have always chosen the font Courier New because all letters are the same width. Is there any way of determining how "long" a string will be when using other fonts? I would like a way of checking the string's actual length so I can format a printout … |
| | Re: runtime error#58 Runtime error 58 occurs when you try to rename a file with a name that already exists (in the same folder), or you try to save a new file with the same name as one that already exists (in the same folder). With MSDOS, sorry Windows you cannot insert information … |
| | I am trying to put together a string that can be sent to the clipboard and then pasted into a spreadsheet (in this case a works spreadsheet). The problem I have is the space characted seems to be being ignored when it is a the start of the next line. …  |
| | I have a VB program that produces reports by sending text to various list boxes. I want to add the option to have the reports sent to the clipboard. I imagion most users would then want to paste the information into a spreadsheet. I have figured out that adding chr$(13) … |
| | I always open a file just before it it written to, then close it as soon as practical. I have always wondered what would happen in this scenario:- Your program is on a server and two people use a shortcut from their stations to run it. All the file access … |
| | I use VB5 and I have a form which has very close to VB 5's limit of 255 controls per form which is starting to concern me. Can someone tell me if the limit for VB6 was increased and let's not forget VB net if possible (although changing the code …  |
| | 1. With VB5 you can either create an EXE file while you are running VB, or use the separate setupwiz utility to create a .EXE file. The setupwiz way results in a smaller EXE file. Is this the only advantage? Also the setupwiz way results in the program doing something … |
| | I have a program I need to protect from piracy. Has anyone got any suggestions as to the best way to go about this. Presumably some sort of "dongle" system is the way to go? Thanks. |
| | I have uploaded an HTML document to my WEB site. It looks fine on screen. However if I print it out (via explorer) the font size increases vastly and it looks a mess. I suspect this is a well known problem as I have often seen "printer friendly" documents on …  |
| | The only thing I can help you with there is with the printing. Currently you can still buy some printers that are MSDOS compatible. But be carefull. You need a printer that has a parallel printer socket, not just a USB one (I think DOS can only output to a … |
