OK - Fixed it, and thought I'd share in case anyone else is enjoying a head-banging session. I unloaded and removed from the load at start-up all items from the add-in manager except Visual Modeler. It seemed to me that there was some kind of conflict and that proved to be true. The reverse...

I've written an app in VB6 and want to run the Visual Modeler (2.0) Reverse Engineering Wizard to create a UML diagram. I've read all the MS article about the error of "Project Not Loaded", but I'm not getting any error at all. I've tried running the wizard from VB and from a new...

I'm using VB6, DataCombo on a form and setting the RowSource property to a disconnected ADO recordset containing a value field and a name field. How can I tell the combo to display a specified value from the recordset? I'm using this to display current property values for an application. Any...

OK - I found the problem. The project must be able to fully compile before VM will work properly. I simplified the project to a few items, compiled it and VB took it just fine.

I'm working with VB6 Enterprise and trying to use the Reverse Engineering Wizard to create a model from my VB project file. I can get past selecting the project and assigning the objects to their categories and am informed that it will take X minutes. I click Finish and nothing happens in the...

Though my app is MS Access 2k, I'm dealing with a dll issue in VBA that seems to be the same kind of problem VB presents. My Win2k development machine has one version of Windows Common Controls-2 (version 6.0) and the Win98 machine I wish to run it on must have an older version. I've...

I just checked, and under the options button, there is a check box for including field properties on the report. One of these properties is the field description.

Thank you. But actually I knew about references. My problem is that the computer I'm running the app on can't find the library I'm referencing. For instance, common dialog control sp4. I'm not sure where to find updates for these dll's. I'm using VBA, but there must be an updated VB or VBA...

I'm developing Access 2k apps on a Win2k platform. They work fine. I port them over to Access 2k on Win98 and library references aren't right. Especailly some VBA function calls (like Time()) and some active x controls (like Date Time Picker). How do I update these dll's on the Win98 machine?

If I understand you correctly, setting some of the options such as not displaying the database window or the design tools will keep the least knowledgeable user out, but there are simple ways to get right in, like hitting F11 to show the database window. Also, if any code blows up, the user may...

This is rather off-the-cuff, but I have a couple of approaches that come to mind. 1) Use the DLookup() function to get some of the calculations you need on your report. 2) Use VBA code to create a recordset of the source data. Loop through that data record by record, make the calculation...

Hi Sharon, I'm sorry, but your question is really vague. Are you using MS Access in some way here? You'll need to give more information in order to get an answer. I recommend being very specific.

I'm not the greatest SQL writer, but I think that's an illegal circular reference. Your query design environment might help you to do things more graphically, then, once that's working right, goto View|SQL to see the code and learn the syntax a little better. Try making a new query that gets...

Sorry I don't have more time to help you on this, but look up in the help files the DLookup function. You will probably be able to do what you need to with this.

You'll need to be more specific. When you say you can't "see" any dates, do you mean that they won't display in forms, reports, table views? Can you just make a field on a form that's unbound whos data source is "=Date()" and show anything? Does anything show up in the...
