George, Thanks very much! That works perfectly! That will be very useful! --Geoffrey

Hello, I would like to know if I can "call" a form like I would a function and have the form return a value. What I'm looking to do is to pop up a small form with a list of files, wait for the user to select a file and return the filename when the user clicks OK. I've already figured out how...

Greetings, I would like to determine in my program the location of the current user's desktop folder. How may I go about doing that? Thanks in advance for your help. --Geoffrey

Thanks.

Greetings, I would like to be able to call the Windows Time and Date control panel applet via my VB6 program. Does anyone know how I could go about doing this? Thanks. --Geoffrey

AceMan, Honestly, it's easier for me to change how my database works than to get IT of their ... to fix an Access installation on someone's computer. I've also scaled down the color choices to 48 (which are the same colors as in the Windows standard color picker). Also, I've added a Custom...

Hello Everyone! Thanks for your input on this. I already knew that I could call the API to display the standard Windows color chooser window. However, the reason that I wanted to write my own is because I wanted to reduce the dependency for external DLL's. One of the users of this database...

Hello, Does anyone if if there is a way to duplicate the VB 6 control array functionality in Access 2000? I need to have 256 label controls that a user can click on to select a color. Obviously, in VB6 this would be a snap. Thanks for any help. --Geoffrey

Robert, Yes, I really need to send a binary value of 0 (not an ASCII 0). The reason for this is because I'm interfacing my program to a hardware device that my company has designed. Basically, what we are doing is taking the serial data that I'm sending out and then it is forwarding it over an...

Robert, I have set NullDiscard to false. However, according to the help file, this only affects the input buffer. In addition, I converted all of the bytes to decimal, and there was no change. --Geoffrey

Robert, I just tried that and I discovered something interesting. Yes, I did get 5 A's to display on the monitor of the other computer, and I again captured the transfer. I examined the output again and I did have five A's. It also again added 25 pairs of 0x0D 0x0A's. Seems like ProComm may...

Robert, I changed that 0 to a 1 instead (although in reality it has to be a zero.) There was no change to the Procomm capture. --Geoffrey

Hi Robert, I tried doing what you suggested plus another idea that I had. My idea was to write the output variant to a file that I could look at on my own PC while comparing what is being recieved on the target. The code that I used to write the file is below: Dim MyOutput As Variant MyOutput...

Robert, 1. The value of destination is a user selected value between 0 and 64 (decimal). Currently, I have it set to 63 (decimal). 2. Here is the DIM statement that I have used: Dim Output(1 To 5) As Byte 3. Yes, I have Procomm setup with the same baud rate, data bits and stop bits as the...

Hi Robert, I've just had the chance to try what you suggested. It doesn't seem to have helped at all though. I've used ProComm on a second computer to monitor and capture the data that is being sent out by my computer's serial port and it's not quite what I need to be sending out. You will...

Robert, Thanks, I'll give this a try tomorrow and let you know. --Geoffrey

During the MSComm1.Output = Output() statement.

Robert, I did as you suggested and DIMmed my Output variable as a variant and changed the inputmode to comInputModeBinary as you suggested. However, when I try to run the program now, I am only getting an Invalid Property Value error when I try to send data out. Any thoughts? --Geoffrey

Greetings, I am attempting to use the MSCOMM control to communicate with an external device. What I need to do is send a packet of binary data (this contains a block-mode identifier that the target recognizes, then the length of the packet and then finally command codes for the target.)...

The Ace Man, I just tried your method and works like a charm! Thanks man. --Geoffrey
