That is the problem. I CAN access methods properties etc if I create a reference.  I have to access a function because of the limits of the environment that I will eventually will be using it in.  So in the end I will be wrapping the methods and properties up into functions...

the dll was created in VB.  The public function name is very simple(one letter "A").  It is just a test for bigger and better things.  It takes one string parameter and returns a string.  It displays a msgbox with that parameter.  I...

You did of course preceed that by printer.print "" to initialize it first?

PS. I'm using IE 5.0

The following is first the code for an html page. As you see it refers to another page register.htm. That should be register.asp, but .asp does nothing. The code for the register.asp/htm is the second code listing. All it is basically supposed to do is spit the entered values back with...

Search the job sites for each language and see which is most appealing to you. I think you'll find C/C++, VB, and Java the leaders.<br> Proficiency in web development is very hot, but there are not as many jobs as VB for example.<br> <br>

It worked, thanks. Tha is why I put simple in the title, I figured I must have missed something simple. Maybe I've just been trying to do too many things at once. @-)

Hmm. Originally it said <br> rs.open sqlselect<br> where as you can see sqlselect was a concatenated string. What would the appropriate format be to get tname into the rs.open statement? If I just remove the quotes, then it is no longer seen as a string, so I will have to remove the & for...

The code below works to dreate a dynamic connection to a database which can be specified at runtime.<br> However the line which is commented out which, that was to allow me to specify which table to connect to at runtime also, is not working. I get:<br> Runtime error 3709 The application...

DoEvents causes pending operation to finish before proceeding to other operations doesn't it? I need to proceed before the event finishes.

Chip, thanks for the reply, but I'm a little confused as to what you mean. I am able, with the same connection that I am using from vb, to use netscape to get ftp files. I can also use the inet1.openurl to retrieve html with expected eases. Not ftp though.

I don't remember exactly, but I think I ran into the same problem some time ago. What I finally found is that when I checked what row in the click event it wouldn't work, but in the mouse down event it did. I have no idea why. So try this in the mouse_down event. rownum = MSHFlexGrid1.Row

VB's openurl help example has code that it says you can just paste into a form that has the appropriate controls, and just run it. It gives me a timed out error. I have tried numerous different ftp sites, and small, and large files. This is suppose to be really easy. What am I missing? I...

Here is the example from vb help printer object.<br> Dim X As Printer<br> For Each X In Printers<br> If X.Orientation = vbPRORPortrait Then<br> ' Set printer as system default.<br> Set Printer = X<br> ' Stop looking for a printer.<br> Exit For<br> End If<br> Next

I'm loading web pages(html) into a variant variable, using the inet control. Is there anyway I can do other processing while a page loads? I poked around in VB help, but I either missed something, or it wasn't there.<br>
