Im using "able2extract" to pull data from the PDF and into an HTML file and reading that into my program. The problem is, "able2extract" will format the data all over the place. In theory it will...

    A way around arrays

    I have a function with a 2d array in it. but since it's called all the time it keeps being reset to zero when dim'd. I tried making it public in a module but it seems to be causing ridiculous memory leakage. Is there a way i can get around this 're-dimery' without using a public array or some...

    Memory usage

    Does making a publicly defined array in a modual kill alot of memory? Lately my program has taken longer and longer to unload whenever i finish playing around with it. But this slowdown goes away if i close VB alltogether and start again. but the more times i run it, the longer it takes to...

    More on the ongoing saga/battle against Excel. I'm reading chargeback reports that come from all over the place and the sheet names are always different. is there a simpler way than just asking for user input as to the sheet name? CONN.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _...

    Excel reading everything as null.

    When i run my code below, it will do nothing because of the line: "If RS.Fields(0) <> Null Then". But if i take that if statement out, the msgbox will print out the data from the excel file. So i dont understand why it says its null one time but not another. i need to check for nulls for when it...
