I have been struggling to do the following with the flexgrid:
1) Get it to auto scroll: I want the rows to scroll automatically if the
number of rows go beyond the screen. This should be done every second (one
row at a time). First, from top to bottom and then, possibly from left to

I have a table called MNames.  My Client has a table Called Names.
I need to import some of the data from Names into MNames.
example Name, Address, City etc.
I am using VB 6.0 SP5.

Windows xp sp2 limits the number of concurrent, incomplete outbound TCP
connection attempts.  After I updated from xp sp1 to sp2, my application

work functionally.

I've been around and around this subject for absolutely years, and there
seems to be no easy way to be able to reproduce the kind of automatic error
reporting that some other languages have built-in.  There are a number of

to introduce a method of quietly copying their databases (mdb's) to another
directory during the day.
This will mean copying files that may well be open, is there a safe way of

I am running .NET 2003 and VB6 on my machine.  Primarily, I run VB6.  
Occassionally, I see something I think would be easy to put together in .NET
2003 and I go for it.  Yesterday was one of those days.
This morning I went back to working on a large project in VB6 and

I've just installed VB6 and am trying to assign form1 as the start up form,
but the only options in the drop down box are "sub main" and "none". Please
tell an idiot how to make my little test project start up when I click start
on the menu bar.

I want to allow all users to use all the controls, but whenever they try to
access them they get a "Permission Denied" error. It looks like the problem
is that they don't have correct registry permissions, how can I set this for
them?
