Under my form load, I am displaying a message box so that if the user does not qualify right off the bat, I just end the program. I want to make the message box font appear larger for those with not so good eye sight. Is there a way to do this. I tried making my form.font larger but that...

If you are using outlook express, you are limited to simple MAPI functionality. I have an app that needed to attach files to an email, which turned out to be outside the realm of simple MAPI. I had to use Outlook for that. Check this article in MSDN knowledgebase. Article Q161088. HTH.

I am using a RDO connection to pull a resultset from a view of a SQL 2000 database. I get the correct amount of records returned but and can movefirst to start through the records but I only get to record 14 of 430 records and then the next movenext takes it to eof and my loop exits. What can...

I'm looking to Bitmaps into a database. I have created an image field in my table and I'm trying to get textcopy to work. It actually worked a couple times, then never again. There must be a way using VB code to do this. Here is my textcopy code - maybe I am just missing a parameter: Shell...

I think you mentioned you knew there was an adapter available. I am unsure why you would have to switch keyboards, unless you might be talking about using 1 keyboard for 2 or more pcs. If that is your issue, an A/B switch is just your answer, although much more expensive than the adapter.

Anybody know if there is a knowledgebase for fujitsu cobol 97 on fujitsu's site? All I could find seemed to pertain to cobol.net Thanks.

HOw can I browse a tape to see what is or is not there? Everything I find so far wants me to browse job logs or media logs. There has to be a way to throw in a tape and see what is there, regardless of the media name assigned to it. Can any of you folks shed any light on this subject? Thank...

I just never thought of checking there. Like so many solutions, it seems so obvious now. Thanks again.

Well, Now I feel like an ID10T. Your answer is perfect. Thanks.

Hearing around the office that 2gb is max size for access mdb. I hit about 1gb and get the "maximum database size exceeded" message. I wondered if the comment was made about access 2k. This appears to be a "butt in the sling" deal, as I tested and tweaked my app with a...

The database is fine. There are not 2 databases. The database is the same one, on the same machine. Its the program, or rather the location of the program. From one certain directory, it produces the error, while from another directory, it works as designed. I even re-copied it to both...

I have a standalone vb6 program that uses a data aware grid. The data source for the grid is an Access 97 mdb. On one machine running 2000 professional, I have a strange issue. I installed my program and it's mdb. The user gets a message that indicates I am trying to put a 6 char variable in a...

Beautiful!

I just got a wheel mouse and really like "freewheelin" now. It works everywhere EXCEPT in vb, where I spend most of my time editing code. Has this ever happened to anybody else? My environ is win98, on a p700. My internal tech support tells me I don't need a driver for this, 98...

I am unfamiliar with the datareport you mention. The first thing that comes to mind is sending blank records (or whatever) to the report to force a page break that way, but you would need to know how many lines per page you will have for that to work. Not to mention, that is a serious band...
