    Converting an old XP VB6 program to run on Windows 7 & Windows 10

    Another option is to try importing everything into TwinBasic, and debug in that environment. I think 32-bit is the default compilation & is free, and 64-bit costs. I don't know if it has support for those OCXs yet.

    Is there a site for old books that might have the manuals for Visual Xbase by Rytech International?

    Hi, I've looked at many sites and googled for the VXBase manuals, but have been unsuccessful in finding them. I did purchase the tools way back, but didn't hold onto the manuals. I think there was also a book specifically about the templates back then. But I have no clue how to even search...

    Not able to log into my previous account, and there's no "Forget Password"

    Thanks Jon/gbaughma/doubledriveline, I found the Forgot Password link that you pointed out, and am back in the official profile. I don't know the answer to your question, Deniall. If I find out, I'll forward a reply.

    Manipulating long text lines, similar to fields in a table

    All working perfectly, thanks everyone. LIST SubStr( D2LINE1, 87, 1), ChrTran( SubStr( D2LINE1, 87, 1), "+-", "-+" ) FOR SUBSTR( D2LINE1, 72, 3 ) = "BBB" to file C:\DOWNLOAD\REPL.TXT SUBSTR(d2line1,87,1) CHRTRAN(SUBSTR(d2line1,87,1),"+-","-+")...

    Manipulating long text lines, similar to fields in a table

    Hi Chris, I'm already settled on doing APPEND, because then I can in effect manipulate the text file, the same way as a table. With the FiletoStr, StrToFile, I'd end up with a memo field that contains the entire file. I didn't know about CHRTRAN. That's a nice shortcut, thanks.

    Manipulating long text lines, similar to fields in a table

    Yes, that's it. That's the final piece, an intermediary Search & Replace. Thanks, mjcmkrsr.
