Hi, folks. I'm using a multimedia control to play audio .wav or .mp3 files. I'd like to use either a scrollbar or a spin button to ramp the volume (loudness) up or down as needed. VB help refers to a .Volume property of the object that the multimedia control sends the audio to, but the...

So here's a puzzler (to me, anyway): I have a database full of electronic instrument names. One of the fields in that database contains a string name for the instrument, such as "HP3437A_ID" (using quotes to refer to a string name). I need to take that same name and convert it to a numeric...

From someone who has been programming as long as I have, this has got to be a dumb (DUH!!!) question. But if I don't get it answered, I'm going to continue to run around in circles. The problem stems from what appears to be a simple name change, and the fact that I only upgrade my software...

Hi, folks. I'm using a list box to display a list of forms. The form name displayed needs to be a bit more descriptive than the form name of the object that's actually going to be loaded, so I've stored the name to display and the associated form name to load in a database that's easy to...

Hi, folks. I'm using the .FindFirst method to locate a record in a recordset (RstData below) created by the OpenRecordset method. The field I'm searching ([ID]) has been defined as a text field, and I'm searching for a string value assigned to a variable (WO_ID) declared as a string...

Hi, folks! This ought to be easy -- but it's challenging my grip on reality (assuming, of course, I had a grip to begin with): I have a form with fields on it bound to a query containing a single table. I can change values in the fields just fine (new value replaces old value in the field...

Hi, folks! I'm trying to use the .SelectPart method on an MSChart control. The syntax in the reference to that method must be incorrect -- I keep getting an error for a missing "=" sign, and then get "Type Mismatch" error in every syntax where I use the "=" sign...

Hi, folks! As I understand it, arrays don't scope quite the same way that non-arrayed variables do. So.....even with an array declared as "Public", an array that gets its values in one procedure doesn't necessarily carry those values into another procedure, even in the same module...

Hi, folks! I'm trying to send/receive data through Winsock in a VB app. Using .Sendata in a loop only seems to trigger a single Data_Arrival event in the receiving app, instead of a series of Data_Arrival events corresponding with the number of times .Sendata appears in the sending loop...

Hi, folks! Anyone out there had experience configuring Access or VB for use with telephones -- specifically monitoring DTMF (phone tones), then branching depending on the key pressed? Looking for code level here, because I'm developing an Acccess application controllable by inputs from...

Hi, folks! Am using Access 97 with two computers. When one is running a form whose record source is table X.....the other computer gives a "File already in use..." error when running a form also based on table X.....even if there is no editing going on, or they are accessing...

Hi, folks! Anyone know if it's possible to create control arrays in Access like one can do in Visual Basic? Like an array of text boxes with the same name, differentiated from each other by a subscript? This seems to be one of the key differences between Access Basic and Visual Basic. There...

Hi, folks! Ran into an interesting problem on an Access database. Not sure how I got there, or how to get out. Program ran fine with all changes I had made until I re-booted the following day. Started getting error messages, all problems I had solved before, so I wasn't too worried. Simply...

Hi, folks! Had a delete query which got its criteria value from a listbox control on a form when selection in listbox was clicked. Criteria in query = Forms!MyForm!MyListbox This worked just fine. Then the form which contained the listbox control was changed to a SUBform. Now, criteria in...

Hi, folks! I have a subform set up to to display a datasheet view of its parent form. On the form which contains the subform, I have some option buttons which are intended to change the way the subform displays the records. Problem: option buttons change the display of the PARENT...

Hi, folks. Thanks for any help you can offer. I need to fill a combo box with a list of tables in the current database -- then select one of the tables (from the list in the combo box), assign its name to an object variable for use throughout the rest of the database. List of tables should be...

Hi, folks!<br> <br> Ran across an annoying problem when using a tab control:<br> <br> When on any page other than page 0 (the first page of a multiple-page tab control), and &quot;Remove Filter/Sort&quot; is selected (either from right-click pop-up menu or menu bar selection at top of screen)...

I'm writing a VB6 program which accesses/updates an Access-created database.<br> <br> Updates are posted to database as they happen (have looked at database immediately after update has executed) -- but VB6 datareport is always one step behind. If I terminate and re-start VB6 program, then...
