Found the cause of the problem. It's a Microft Bug. See link as follows: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q274523&

Has anyone tried to use the fax utility on Windows XP to create a fax formated file in VB which then can be delivered & viewed? I tested with WordPad or NotePad, by click on the "Print to File" checkbox. When print starts, a window pops up asking for filename and then print to the...

I think the problem may have been caused by the set printer statement is for your application only and crystal report runs on its own env. You may try to permanently set the printer then call up crystal report by adding a common dialog box on your form, call it cdlPrinter. Then insert the...

I think the caption font is controlled by system settings (in display sections), and thus, cannot be set for 1 form only.

If I didn't misread you, you may add lines in Combo_Click event to change Datagrid.

No one seems have tested it on XP yet. I'll test it out & let you know what's going to happen. Appreciate your effort. As we all know, a tip is the start of all possibilities. Jason

I found the Kodak Image Editing in a Win98 system while mine is WinXP. Copied the .ocx file over to XP but got "not registrable" error when trying to register it. Is there an updated version for XP?

I didn't find the Kodak Imaging Tool in my component list. Is it downloadable somewhere?

Image processing seems to be a weak spot in VB. I need to display and print an image that is too large (generated with SavePicture and printed with PaintPicture). How do I compress the size by increase resolution? Also, are there free utilities that compress the image to .tif or .jpg to reduce...

Rob, That worked nicely. Thank you. Jason

Is there any way one can control CD or CDRW drive such as Eject CD or eject CDR & leave data in original format and so on. I'd like to provide a function in my code to do what EasyCD Creator does where I can click on the icon in system tray to eject a CDR.

Haysie, I checked the blackbelt MDI package. It works and is a very good example to learn image programming with VB & API. Right now, it's a bit over me. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the tip. PaintPicture! That's great. It seems to me the duplicated pictures should not take up additional resources like objects since they are simple bitmaps. Is the overhead in placing them on form an issue (or in another word, how much performance & resources we commit to painting...

I don't seem to find a TILE function in VB to repeat a small picture to make out for the entire background (such as building a form). Does anyone know how to do it in VB 6.0?

You may want to track when _AfterColEdit() is activated. If you are moving off the current record to a different one, the underlying database gets updated automatically and you cannot undo it without modifying the record yourself. Jason
