Thanks so much, Riverguy. That's exactly the kind of input that I was looking/hoping for! I do need rich controls - our software is very much data entry oriented, so we have to be very interactive in our data verification and presentation. We can't have the user typing in 200 fields, pressing...

Hi everyone, It's been a while. Hope everyone is doing well. My company has been maintaining VB6 software for several years now and it's about time for us to re-imagine/re-write our software. Other companies with less experience but slicker-looking (translation: more modern) software have...

I appreciate the sympathy... it is a vexing problem. My first instinct is to blame the SQL 2005 upgrade. But at the same time, they did the Windows 2003 Server upgrade AND added some new switches within the network, so the possibilities are multiple. And since my co doesn't maintain the...

Hi George, I did as you suggested (excellent suggestion by the way. My mind wasn't even going down that path) and it still stopped with an error after approximately 4000 records, so it must not have anything to do with DNS. The error was different however: SQL Server does not exist or...

Heres an update of sorts. I'm now receiving a different message: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(PreLoginHandshake()]General Network Error In response to this, I have placed the servername and IP in the host file, downloaded and installed the newest version of MDAC, but it made no difference. I...

SQL Server 2005, Windows XP A little background: My company does NOT have the server maintenance contract for this particular client. We do however provide all client software. Recently, the server was upgraded to Win2003 server and the SQL was upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server...

Actually, I'm not using an arry, I'm building textboxes with unique names. Using the For/Next loop, appending the textbox name with the number of the loop, and creating it. What's being created is: frmPetitionRefundtxtbox1 frmPetitionRefundtxtbox2 frmPetitionRefundtxtbox3 I will probably...

Hello everyone, it's been a while. My problem is this: I'm adding textboxes to a form at runtime. Using the following code: Private Sub AddBoxesForTaxes() Dim intNumTaxes As Integer Dim intLoopit As Integer Let intNumTaxes = 10 Dim intTop As Integer Dim intLeft As...

Finally figured out the problem. In case it's of interest to anyone, we are using Active Reports. One machine had an Active Reportsd Upgrade, the other did not. Once I upgraded the Active Reports, all System Hangs stopped. Don't know why it would compile bbut hit an error writing the exe but...

Hi Everyone, I'm using VB6 SP6, sql2000, windows XP. My application needs to make a copy of an existing database and place the copy under a new name. I'm using sqldmo and my backup procedure is working great. THe problem comes in when I attempt to restore the database to a new name...

As an addendum: I looked at one of my forms in text mode and here is an example line: Object = "{BDC217C8-ED16-11CD-956C-0000C04E4C0A}#1.1#0"; "tabctl32.ocx" However, when I do a regsitry search, I find the tabctl32.ocx listed as follows Value Name: 1DA0663DF6CD8B14791C4DC93D6C77E9 Value...

Hi everyone, VB6 SP6 WinXP I've been hitting an UnSpecified System Error at the time the compile has completed and it has begun writing the .exe. We have two development systems. One in our office, and one on site. If we make changes to any classes, bas, or forms at the site, we bring...

Hi Dr, Yes, that's where I downloaded the service pack from. I may just reinstall XP. Whatever is happening the registry isn't getting updated with the service pack and if that's the case, then there's no telling what else may be not quite right. Makes you miss the INI days, sometimes...

Logged in as administrator and installed the VBSP5. Still nothing shows up in the registry. I'm stumped.

Hey Dr, Under the .... \VisualStudio\6.0 there is no service pack entry at all. There's Packages, Services, Setup, ToolsOptionPages, and toolwindows. I'm not installing as administrator, but the user does have administrator rights. I'll come in as administrator and see if that makes any...
