Hi folks, I have a project the loads and runs fine on computer #1. When I move the project file to a second computer with exactly the same file path, I get loading errors related to not being able to find mscomctl.ocx registered in the exact same file path (i.e., my project's file path -- odd...

Folks, I've got a problem. I have an app that connects to MSSQL Server 2005 and 2008 just fine whether they're (the instances of the databases and MSSQL Server) on the same computer with the app, or on a separate server, with the following connection string: strConnectString =...

I have 3 windows 10 pro computers and a dell server running windows server 2012. I have 2 copies of MS SQL Server on the server and 1 of the computers. Now I have a VB6 program that when I run it on the computer with SQL Server and "aim" it at the databases on the computer, It works just fine...

Folks, I am trying to write an app that analyzes stock data in real time. Is there anywhere you know that will supply a stream of real-time stock data for free or a reasonable fee? I would only want to track a few stocks. Thanks, Ortho [lookaround] "you cain't fix 'stupid'...

Has anyone noticed the nasty error messages "Object library not loaded" or some such lately, after updating Windows XP? I had to re-install my whole hard disk which I had luckily copied a couple weeks ago which fixed the problem. Then windows "updated" and the problem returned! Arrrgggghhh...

Dear folks, I am trying to get used to using "checksum" to determine if my data transfers to my database are correct and complete. Would someone please write the very, very, very simplest algorithm to illustrate how this is done? Let's say we're going to write "Hello" to a record in a...

Folks, You haven't heard from me in awhile because I am on my 69th revision of my first app installed in my hospital. It's going well, thanks to many of you! But I have somewhat of a niggling problem I can't fix: When I click the down or up arrows on my flexgrid scroll bars, sometimes the...

Folks, I store a date in my MS SQL Server 2005 as a date type. My query goes something like: "SELECT * from mytable ORDER BY [date]" But the order I get looks like this: 8/1/2011 8/13/2011 8/2/2011 8/5/2011 (notice that 8/13 should come after 8/2 and 8/5...) etc., so it is ordering by the...

Folks, Is there a way to write a program that can "watch" what another program is doing, or more specifically, what the user is doing with the program, and then do events accordingly? I know this sounds like a keylogging program, and to some extent it is, but I'm not talking about...

I know this isn't the best forum to post this problem, but I thought there would be a ton of you who use Installshield. I have version 11.5 express. I'm getting an error when installing on some (but not all) of my PC's: All of the InstallShield forums say I need to change the cache path to...

Folks, I installed my app on a windows 7 (32 bit) laptop, and it writes about 30 values to the registry. But when I look under HK_Local_Machine/SOFTWARE, where I write to, I can't find my keys anywhere. But when I close the app and fire it up again, the app opens as though the registry items...

Folks, This has been working for months, but now, when it gets to a particular line, an error occurs (error 842, "printer error"), and the app crashes I have isolated the line that crashes to this one: Prn.Orientation = vbPRORPortrait Here is the sub it is in: Public Sub...

Folks, I am happy to report that my first application is almost, IMHO, ready for sale. After sales occur, I need to hire programmers to take over some of what I'm doing. Can anyone advise me how best to start that? What I mean is how do I let someone work on my code without risking that...

Folks, Some of you may remember that I've written my own HL7 "listener" using the winsock object. This works partially, in that I can receive messages (and am doing so), but when I try to send acknowledgement replies, the app that is sending them isn't receiving them. This may be backwards...

Folks, My app has been alpha-testing for 1 year now with 19 minor revisions and a bunch of your help! At this point tho', I have not taken into consideration the fact that several machines access the database through wireless connections, and that from time to time, these connections break...

Folks, When I was tyring to get access databases to work (foolishly) I came across some error coding that I though was clever which looked something like this: On error goto MSSQLErrorHandler INSERT.... ~~ Exit Sub MSSQLErrorHandler: Select Case Err Case 3197 (do...

Does anyone know how to "add" a font that is in my resource folder to the C:\Windows\fonts folder using VB6 code? Thanks, Ortho [lookaround] "you cain't fix 'stupid'...

Folks, From time to time, instances of my software do this, which is basically firing up 3 recordsets and inserting data into three different tables. All the "str..." data is PASSED IN, so it is available: Dim adoRSFrozens As ADODB.Recordset Dim adoRSAccessionDesk As ADODB.Recordset Dim...

Folks, I do this: (the "false" is bold or not) Call SetPrinterFont("Ariel", 48, False) and it works fine. So I added a font to my windows fonts called "3 of 9 Barcode" and when I try: Call SetPrinterFont("3 of 9 Barcode", 48, False) I don't get the barcode output. Frick. I am...

Folks, I Googled this, but couldn't find the answer. If I do this: strSQL = "SELECT * FROM MyTable '(and I know this is sub-optimal....) adoRecordSet.Open (strSQL), adoConnection, _ adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly ... Is there a limit to the number of records that can be pulled into...
