    Making string replacements on all strings in a column

    I want to make a string replacement (and update) to all strings in a column of a table. In other words, for every string in a column of a table of my MySQL DB, I want to replace a substring in those strings with a new value. I've found the REPLACE SQL function, but I don't know the syntax to...

    Error at XP Start-up

    I recently installed some crappy software that I suspect was somewhat malicious. Now, whenever I boot my system, I get a run-time error '13' popup window. The title of the window is "CPP Change" -- real helpful. I'm trying to figure out how to remove it from my system, permanently. I have run...

    Hello, I'm no expert when it comes to SQL, so go easy on me. I'm a novice. Here's the situation: My VB6 code is constructing an SQL query string which will eventually be passed to my Access DB. There is a field in the DB which is text, but which also contains numeric values. Here are some...

    Ghosting an image on a single PC

    Hi, Here's what I'm trying to do: make a compressed image of my slave drive and put (write) it onto my master drive. To make it clear, I don't want to clone the slave drive onto the master drive (i.e. replace what is on the master drive with what's on the slave drive). The master drive is...

    Determining system regional settings in VBA code

    FormatNumber problem

    I'm working with the VBA code behind an Excel report. The report has two entry points: Auto_open and another subroutine which is called by an application. Both entry points are basically indentical. In one of the date data fields, we're using a Numberformat of "ddd dd". Oddly, sometimes instead...

    0-indexing and Visual Basic

    I come from the C-code world, where everything is 0-indexed: arrays, strings, DB records, etc. I've seen VB code that starts indexes collection objects from both 0 and 1. Which is it?! Or is it different from object to object? For instance, the first character in a string object is numbered...
