Thanks vb5.

I found the piece-part download much faster than the one-piece.

Here's a link for the list of bugs and fixes in this Service Pack.

"Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'."

Ooopppsss!!!!

That was the link for studio (which I have and needed), I then tried to post this link...

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...70-dfe1-42a1-a4c8-39718c7e381d&DisplayLang=en

which is for vb only but the site went down!?!?!?

So the first is for studio and this post is just for vb.

Good Luck

Good old MS. I loaded SP6, thought I would try out my first test. Clicked on an object, held shift, clicked on more THEN clicked an item again, and hey ho Illegal shutdown. Looks like you still have to have the properties window open before you try that out, otherwise hours of work are up the swanee? Any other things not done?

 

[dr486]

thankU.

 

[koala15]

Has anyone used SP6 in an intense (time critical)environment, and would be prepared to give a critical analysis?

Please and thank you.

Don't think time matters to BG Whats another hour, month, year in writing code. Come to that whats another 20, 30 40 gigs of space needed, there again theres plenty more memory comming along for that.
Sorry, becomming very cynical when in front of this pc too long. Regards

This worked before I put SP6 on?

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim i As Double
For i = 0 To Printer.FontCount - 1
Debug.Print Printer.Fonts(i)
Next i
End Sub

Now it tells me I'm out of stack space. Can someone else tell me if it works at their end?

Maybe I should have started a new thread on this so we can compile any funnies that surface with SP6
Thanks

Cant work out why, the codes been always working okay, but it I change Double for Integer it works okay. Did this bit some months ago, sure it was an integer then? . Ah well at least its now working. Thanks

Ran your code on my system with SP6 ... works fine.

 

[ZOR]

Thanks Golam, wonder why it spaces out on mine. As I said its working now because I changed Double to Integer. Definately is unhappy with double "Out of Stack Space"
Thanks for trying it oou. Regards

 

[vb5prgrmr]

I belive (could be wrong) that the arguement for the font is expecting and integer, thus the background type casting may be the culprit on your perticular processor.

Glad you got it working.

Good Luck

 

[ZOR]

Thanks vb5prgrmr, could be correct on that. Have another star and to Golam who took the time to try it.

 

[vb5prgrmr]

Thanks ZOR, Glowworm27, ADoozer, johnwm, zemp, dr486, and DrJavaJoe for finding that documentation have one for that, and every one else.

Good Luck

I've just downloaded the service packs, and I'm about to see my boss to recommend installing on all our development machines (20+).

If I go quiet for a few days, I've been fired.
