Hi, I can't believe it was something as simple as the name of the exe. The half dozen or so programs I've had this problem with have all got 'update' in the program name. After changing the program names and re-compiling, they're all fine now. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I've had some issues recently with programs I compile where the program icon has the Windows shield overlaying it meaning the program needs to run with elevated permissions. In the programs 3it's happening on there is nothing radically different to other programs I've written. Does anyone...

Here's the function I wrote Function outBox(top, left, dataW, dataT, Optional dataA As Integer, Optional fontName As String, Optional fontSize As Integer, Optional boxColor As Long, Optional fillBox As Boolean) 'DataW is the width of the box, dataT is the text to print on/in the box. dataA is...

Hi, I'm using the Printer object to output some columns of data. For the column header I want to have a different coloured background. To do this I am using the Line command to draw a filled rectangle, then I'm printing the text on top. It looks like I've got the Fillstyle parameter mixed up...

The printer does reply to pings and the parm is set to HPCOLORLJ

Hi, We've got loads of HP printers connected to our AS400 using TCP. We've recently bought a couple of colour laserjets and configured them in exactly the same way as we would with the black and white printers but they will not print anything. I have checked the port settings on a windows PC...

Well I've never even heard of the SAVRSTLIB command. Shows how long since I've paid any attention to IBM! The libraries in question have all sorts of programs and DSPF in them. I don't need the logicals, just the PFs. Looks like I'll be doing it the old fashioned way then! Thanks for your help...

Hi, I have a whole host of files that I need to transfer from an old AS400 to a new one. I can write scripts to FTP all the files across. However, when they get to the new system, all the fields are converted into a single field. Does anyone know how to get around this? (I know that I can save...

Thanks Mooby, it works perfectly now. I shall now honour you as a false god!

Nope, it's definately XP Pro. I've also tried it without SP2 and with SP2 and it still won't work on any PCs. I have tried it on another HP Compaq nx9105 (the same as the other 3 laptops I've tried) and it works perfectly!!

Hi, I have a strange problem. We have Exchange Server 2003 in Italy. We are connected from the UK through VPN over the internet. In the UK, I have a wireless laptop running XP SP2 with Outlook2000 and I can connect OK to the server no problems using wireless and wired. If I try from a PC in...

Thanks Paul, SetForeGroundWindow does the trick. Pete, for some reason, the deactivate event is not firing. Lee Greenwood

Thanks for the info Paul, unfortunately keeping the form on top does not stop the form losing the focus.

Hi, I have a project where I have set up a PC as a time clock, so our employees can clock in and out. It's a WIN98 PC so I've changed the Shell in the [Boot] section to run my program rather than Explorer when the PC boots up. The swipe card reader I have connects to the keyboard port so the...

Saja, Here's a program I wrote using the cwbdbOverrideFile override. If you start a new project, add a listview control, change the system name,library,file and member to match your system, and it should work. Lee. '*********************************************************** '* Copyright...
