CallByName allows you to provide an object reference for parameter 1, and a
method call in the form of a string for parameter 2.

encapsulate the entire call within a string, so it could truly be dynamic?

how can I find the process name if I've got the process ID.
For instance if I've got a process with an id of 15 and I don't know which
process it is, how can I find the name.
In Task Manager it will say that the process with ID 15 is excel.exe

I have a VB6 application that needs to grab a reference to an open Word
Document so I can close it programatically.
Just creating a new instance of Word.Application doesn't seem to work as
that instance doesn't seem to know about the open document. (ie

I'm completely stumped on this one. I have a substantial project that
started terminating at one point without any message. I'm good at debugging
but, here, it seems almost impossible given that a) the program will not
fail when run from the IDE and b) I've isolated where the ...

Dear Friends
Hope you all doing great.
I am faced with a very strange problem. I am confused like anything why
the following code is not working.

I am looking to develop a VB app that is primarily HTML based (via browser
control).  The obvious server side ASP solution is not an option.  Is it
possible to encapsulate ASP in a COM object and thus generate the HTML code
by making reference to the registered ActiveX control on ...

I went to install some new software (Drive Image) that said that "the dotnet
framework must be installed before proceeding".
Is there any risk that installing that framework would interfere with VB6 in
any way?

I have a VB6 program that uses Access databases. Tested on several
machines with different versions of Windows (98, 2000, XP).
Now a German customer reports the program to crash and sends me a copy
of his database. To my dismay, all Boolean variables are recorded in

When  I open my VB IDE, I get three toolbars. The first is populated
as expected, but the second and third are scarcely populated, each
having only one group of buttons.
How can I get the IDE to open with only two toolbars?

THe problem I created:
I have a ListView control that has been working fine.  I then needed to add
a totals row to the end of the listItems. It seemed a simple matter to just
add one more row.  However when the user sorts the columns I must remove the

I'm not a long time VB programmer and I'm using VB6
