FYI,
I was having trouble writting to a custom event log when developming a
VB.Net service.  In my research I found that in order to write to a
custom event log in a service the AutoLog property of the service has

The application I have runs 4 times longer when the executable is mounted on
a server than it takes if the same executable is mounted on the local PC.
The data files it uses as well as input and output files do not change
locations.

I have a VB6 application I am developing that seems to be throwing up this
error message and then crashing the program.
The instruction at "0x77fcdf2a" reference memory at "0x00213408". The memory

When I execute the following code:
   If Dir(strFileName) = "" Or strFileName = "" Then
       FindFile = False
   End If

I have written a VB6 application that I would like to include "What's this
help" and standard F1 help. The F1 help should load up HTML help files. And

I am using VB6. I understand that the picturebox control has a limit of
32,767 pixels for its width.
But I require a larger width. Can it be long data type instead of the short
integer it already is ?

Has anyone got an easily formula to convert the number of days to a value
with years and months??
I've tried playing around, with DATEADD and DATEDIFF as suggested, but to no
success.
