for VBA Microsoft Office Developer edition ( MOD ) guide and reference - much clearer than VB for beginners

I need to find out the precision of the floating-point data types viz. Single, Double, and Decimal i.e. the maximum number of decimal digits ( i.e. base 10 digits ) that may be specified in thier literals. As this is not documented I thought I'd keep on enterring ever larger numbers in the...

mrmovie - thanks for the comment - just the kind of thing I'm looking for. What will happen in the 100,000 lines program I know of. I second you heartily on OO in Classic VB. However my point was not the it was upto the mark but more of it was there than is obvious. Stll badly in need of...

Yes, I'm working with VB6. Youre right about sizeof and LenB but I need to deal with the Windows data types in portable way, merely conceptual though they might be.

Your'e both right but in a way only: (1) DOS, and I suppose Windows, support *installable* device drivers, anyone who knows can write one. There's even one for reading NTFS from DOS! (2) on the many Web pages I've seen on this topic, many state they have got thier flash disks recognized -...

I'd like to find out ( programatically ) the sizes of the Windows data types for an application I'm writing but can't find anything in the SDK about it ( the Win32 Simple Data Types topic states these sizes but I need to find them out dynamically ). One thing I'm not clear about in this...

Nice points! Thnks for the insights. However I'm suprised there is no response re. being able to use *ALL* 5,000 .Net classes from VB6 - some directly even without wrapping ( see Micrsoft VB Developer Center Previous Versions/VB6/VB Fusion ). To me this seems like a terrific thing. This means...

I'll check it out and let you know.

What a pity! Can you spell out the "dependencies that wont be available"? How can I get a pen drive that works under all or at least 2000, '97 and DOS? PS '97 is my rescue OS - I like it because it supports FAT32 but is still as small as '95.

dilenttante 's is a sensible stand. I'd like to know what its advantages in certain situtations are? I understand tou can use all 5,000 vb.net classes from vb6! Has anyone tried this? Has .net stabilized enough?

I have set up an ImageCombo box with the flags of some countries. However the images turn out bad looking. I have tried .ico and .gif files. The formar are quite indistinct and even looses color and the latter are much bigger than the ImageCombo rows. How can I get the images to look just the...

I have repeatedly tried to install my JetFlash 128 MB pen drive in DOS without any success. After going through numerous Web pages, I came to the conclusion that the Panasonic driver combined with the "Mottu Hairu" driver might be the best bet. Accordingly I have included the following lines in...

use CInt, CLng, etc. instaed of Val

whay can't you convert both values to Date variables, add them, and reconvert the sum to a string

If * means any character(s) as the documentation says it does it should also include new line characters
