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...

Ty, Andy. Yeah, I had thought of doing that, and may have to do that still...but wanted a more direct way if that was possible, so want to exhaust all other possibilities before going that route. ----------------------------------------------- Hmmm...StrongM. That looks interesting. Kind of...

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...

Strongm: "The can was opened 7 years ago..." Yeah, that's what I found out. I've been living in a bit of a cocoon -- the vast majority of the programming I do (automated test systems) makes any differences between classic VB and .NET absolutely irrelevant. There was simply no reason to step...

Boy, did I ever open up a can of worms with this! I looked up some history regarding the migration from VB6 to VB.NET -- not only why Microsoft made the change, but also why MS is essentially abandoning "classic" VB -- and it's an interesting story. The [Classic] VB community is quite large...

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...

Hyper: Thanks very much for your kind and helpful response. It's a compact variation of the "brute force" approach, where I need to add a new case at the code level for each new form I create rather than let variables handle it all -- but it works perfectly, adding another case takes very...

TestFormName (below) is correct name of object (returned from list box), but the following returns an "Object required" error: Dim TestForm As Form TestFormName = Listbox.ListIndex Set TestForm = TestFormName The following returns a "Can't assign to read-only property"...

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...

Hmmm...not quite sure I follow you here, at least in the context of how this is organized. The form that doesn't work accesses records through a query that's based on a table that has no links/connections/relationships with any other table in the database. So, for all practical purposes, it's...

Jeff: Hi. Thanks for responding. There's NO code being executed when I open the form. The form opens normally and displays the correct record (based on the value in a control on another form which sets the criteria in the query). That's what's got me boondoggled -- there's nothing going on...

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...

jebenson: A follow-up here. I got my datapoints to select reliably when I increased the divisions per tick -- I had it set so that it was drawing a vertical black line on every datapoint, so that the entire background appeared black. This density of information was evidently interfering with...

jebenson: Thank you very much for your suggestion. Yes, I was using parentheses around the arguments, and your suggestion immediately eliminated the error messages, which is certainly a big improvement. My chart still doesn't highlight the selected datapoint like I would have expected -- I'm...

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...

Ahhhhhh.......ty for your response, Cajun. Have beat my head against the wall here for the last 24 hours trying to solve this. I didn't realize that setting the value (true/false) property of a togglebutton on the fly caused the on_click event for that togglebutton to be executed -- even if...

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...
