 | There are ways to hook into the sytem keyboard handler although I do not know how to do that. In lieu of that might I suggest [AutoHotKey](https://autohotkey.com/download/) which would provide that ability plus a lot more. |
| | ##vbScript - Browse for Folder or File Please see my post [vbScript - The Basics](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/516400/vbscript-the-basics) for more details on vbScript. Some scripts need input (other than from the command line) from the user. This can be read from the console (StdIn) or from a pop-up textbox (InputBox). This is fine … |
 | I'm assuming that `>30` means expired so why not just do a `case` in the query that returns a value for `Expired` (or unexpired) of `True` or `False`. That way if the subscription period changes, all that would need to be modified is a stored query. For that matter, instead …  |

 | Of course it fetches all the words. That's what you are telling it to do.

 | Where I used to work, we standardized our date formats on all computers and databases/apps as yyyy-mm-dd. For one thing it made comparing dates trivial. |
| | Try cmbSearch.CommandText = "SELECT Assignment FROM Apu WHERE StudentID = '" & txtStudentID.Text & "';" The format is SELECT <fields> FROM <table> WHERE <conditions> I strongly suggest, however, that instead of building queries by concatenation you use [parameterized queries](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/code/445801/use-parameterized-queries-to-avoid-sql-injection-attacks). |
 | Re: C programming The loop continues as long as x is less than y. It isn't until x = 55 that the test fails. |
 | Re: javascript If you can't be bothered to ask a question then why should we go to the trouble of helping? |

| | Re: Amazon Stock Dip Not surprised it took a dip. I recently bought a few items from Amazon. One order (two pieces of luggage) had to be returned because the luggage was larger than advertized (too big to be used for carry-on) and one other order never arrived. |

| | Run msconfig.exe and deselect the No GUI Boot option in the Boot tab.  |
 | Whatever language you choose, become familiar with it before you try to do anything complex. |
 | Start with pseudo-code. Instead of coding (telling the computer how to do it), pretend you are writing instructions to tell a human how to do it. |
 | Re: c++ You obviously didn't read the rules [Daniweb Posting Rules](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/rules) or [Suggestions For Posting Questions](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question) or you would have 1. shown proof of effort 1. chosen a more descriptive thread title 1. asked for help instead of demanding a solution |

| | Today I tried to install the Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update. It failed with the message  I found this peculiar because I don't have that application installed. I **do** have Macrium Reflect (Free) version 6 but certainly not Drive Image 7 (Powerquest). As usual, clicking the Support link …  |
 | Check the fan. Overheating can cause your problem. |
 | A tip for future posts - if you are getting errors then post the error messages (and the lines that are causing the errors). |
| | Plus, if you are stuck at the beginning it's a good sign that you are biting off more than you can chew. Some people seem to think they can go from "hello, world" to complex applications without doing all the work in-between. I call this JBS for Jethro Bodine Syndrome. … |
