Thanks to both of you (PRPhx and Sorwen) for your advice re the debug problem. I found the text boxes problem - I hate to admit it, but it was a scope problem which is now resolved. However, the debug problem is killing me because of the problem of not being able to single-step and view what's...

Thanks for your reply. I have since determined that the problem is not type conversion but the fact that I can't read the data from the text box. The textbox contains the correct data (a five digit integer value) but I can't put that data in a listbox, another textbox or a variable. In other...

I have a series (5) textboxes bound to a recordset which contains 5 integer values (all 5 digit). When the record is read, the textboxes are populated correctly and contain the correct values. However, I need an integer array containing these values. I have tried usint cint(textboxname.text)...

I am new to VS2008 but have written several programs and when debugging, am able to set breakpoints and single step etc. However, I am now working a larger program and when I try to set breakpoints, when execution reaches that point, it locks the application up and I have to use the task...

Hi Bob! I type each character in the text box (txtCT()). Actually, this is a little worksheet for solving crypto quips published in the papers. I type the quote, one character per box. In solve mode, you type the cipher character you want to replace followed by the character you think it...

Hi Bob! Yesterday, I did a work-around since nothing else worked. I am now entering the entire text into a character array and processing that, adding spaces to account for line length/wrapping. Then I copy the array to the 125 text boxes. This seems to work OK. However, in the interest of...

Re BobRodes reply: Today, I deleted the 125 boxes and started from scratch just to make sure all indexes were correct. - Same problem. After reading your response, I checked tabindex and they were all crazy, so I reset them so that each corresponded to the txtbox index. Unfortunately, same...

I have 125 textboxes each limited to one character broken into 5 lines of 25. The indexes are 0-124. Object is to write words/sentences continuously and program will do the word wrapping. At each space, I check to see if there are enough boxes for the just-written word and if not, fill the...

I am working on a database project where I select a text file from a filelist box, run it through several procedures to extract data and finally write the data to a recordset. Everything works fine if I manually select the input file from the list and finally call a save procedure by clicking a...

Are there any FS folks who have VB6 code to read the magdec.bgl file in MSFS? If so, would you be willing to share it for non-commercial use? Or, do you have any tips on where I can find such code? (I've already tried flightsim.com and avsim) Thanks for any hints or help! Fingers

Does anyone have VB6 code to compute distance and heading given starting lat/lon and ending lat/lon? I have the trig formulae but VB doesn't have the acos function and I haven't been able to work around it. I guess I should have paid more attention in high school trig!!! Any hints would be...

I have written a new VB6 application and am having a problem getting it installed on another machine. I used the P&D Wizard to create the setup files and no errors occured. However, when I try to install on other machines, (typically WinXP) I get an error that some system files are out of date...

I have been using filecopy to backup the mdb database file for an application which has been working for about a year. However, the file is about to exceed the size of a floppy. Is there any routine available which will allow the user to copy the file using multiple discs?

I want to provide code to copy an mdb database from a floppy to the HD. A snippet of my code is: data1.database.close source="a:\abc.mdb" destination= curdir + "\abc.mdb" filecopy source, destination The filecopy chokes and returns error 70 (permission denied). I have not...

Using VB6 on a standalone machine, how can I determine if a printer is connected to that machine? (I don't care if it's turned on or not, just if it's there)!
