| | Qbasic is still used quite a bit. It is still taught in many schools around the country and is good for that purpose. Many people have problems with qbasic on XP though not everyone. I think QuickBasic compiled programs will still run (more or less) on XP. I say more … |
| | [QUOTE=Katie G]Newbie to QB - I have an assignment to create a grade sheet for one student. Must list name, instructor, class, test grades 1 through 5, average, low grade, high grade and new average with lowest grade dropped. I am so confused about arrays. I am using examples from … |
| | Though I use PowerBasic for windows instead of VB, i'm sure the record length for random files is quite large as it is with PB. Of course it should be kept in mind that many times the larger the record, the more likely wasted space is increased which is inherent … |
 | I have to disagree with you on several points. It is still used a lot. Check out all the forums that are still active. It is still taught in school as a first programming language. It is very similar in syntax to PowerBasic for windows which is much better than … |

| | First search for Qbasic.exe on your computer. Qbasic was included starting with DOS version 5.0 and was also on the Win95 and Win98(i think) CD-ROMs. If you find it, be sure that either you are in the folder containing Qbasic.exe when you are at the prompt or that it in … |
| | Re: runtime error#58 Error 58 is File already exists. (you can do ERROR #) where # is a number to find out the error message for that error number Without the code, it will be impossible to debug. (You can also get a list of run-time errors and the associated error messages in … |
| | The easiest way is to use a fixed font in your listbox. Otherwise, try tabbing with chr$(9) |
| | You can download a text calendar I wrote from my web site [url]http://thunder.prohosting.com/~oasys/frameex1.htm[/url] on the files page. I also used the following in an accounting program as a "reminder" file put "boxes" accross the screen with sunday - saturday as heasings. Use Sunday.fil, monday.fil etc to store actual info. print … |
| | If you are using QB (QuickBasic), so often wrongly called Qbasic, then Call Absolute (as well as Call Interrupt) are in the QB library QB.QLB In that case, start QB with QB /L libraryname (no library name is required for QB.QLB as it is the default) If you are, in … |

| | Russell, There are still plenty of QB sites out there many of them having downloads of programs. The ABC archives are still out there too (All Basic Code). which has code dating back to the early to middle 90's. There are some tutorials around too. How good I don't know. … |

| | If you can open the old code in notepad, then copy by highlighting/then right click ->copy, you can paste it into qbasic/quickbasic with the following. (be sure the line lengths are not over 255 characters, and that they end in CRLF. Also don't try to do it all at one … |
| | Well Qbasic is basically free since it came with msdos from version 5 - Windows 98 /MSDOS 6.2 It's around on several web sites. Versions 4-7.1 of Quick Basic are available too (free). Whether it is technically legal to download them is another matter. |
| | Or, Shift+Arrow keys to highlight, Control(CTRL)+Insert to copy then Shift+insert to paste. BTW nice pic Dani. |
| | Re: Poor resolution Then i'd recommend installing win98 instead of XP. As ms moves away from 16bit DOS things will probably get harder and harder for QB BTW it's QB.EXE not Qbasic.exe for QuickBasic 4.5 If you compile it on 98 then run it on xp you'll probably have better luck especially with … |
| | Don't leave out PowerBasic for windows which rivals C (perhaps better) in tight code (no bloatware). Also the best tech support on the planet. |
 | PowerBasic has 2 windows compilers (and a DOS compiler). The windows versions allow inline asm. Very affordable and the best support. |

| | You could store the tables in data statements but then you would have to recompile the program if changes were made. I would think that either 1) a text file containing the tables or 2) a separate entry program for the tables (to keep the tables in a relatively safe … |

 | Re: Packaging? [QUOTE=red_evolve]I am almost done with my project and I'd like to obtain some advice on this. How do I go about packaging (if this is the right word to use) the whole application? As such, I have some extra active-x components which I'd have to add into the System32 folder … |

| | Re: Beyond Qbasic... [QUOTE=QB_Pete]Thanks Bentkey, any others with simlar responses, please reply. Pete[/QUOTE] Power Basic has a Console Compiler that makes text mode programming easy. It has a DOS-like feel and many of the commands and statements are the same or with minor changes. You have the added capability of using windows api, … |

| | Re: Macros in Excel I've got an accounting program I wrote (basically a General Ledger). I have an option to send the postings to a spreadsheet. I use a comma delimited file. This works fine. The user can include up to 6 fields, the last being the amount field. I want to be able … |
| | The easiest way to 'delete' a record in a random file is to write (put) for RN&=Record&+1 to NR& (number of records) Get #1,RN&,UDT PUT #1,RN&-1,UDT next then have some way of controlling what the total records are (NR&) and reduce it by 1, such as a separate file containing … |
