VB Forum / General / March 2006

I just got an bug report from a customer and found the problem was something
like this:
Dim c as new ADODB.Command
set c = GetNewConnection ' function that returns a new sqlserver connection

I am wondering if someone out there can help me out with a problem that
has been puzzling me for over two weeks.  I have been coding in VB6 for
about 3 years now, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around this
particular piece of code for some reason...

In vb6 as through GetShortPathName we can get the shortName , Similarly
is it possible to SET the short Name of folder whose name is larger
than 8 characters? If this happens through any API rather than 3rd
party control then its more helpfull. Any how plz refer 3rd party

I'm sure this has been dealt with before, but I didn't know how to
accurately 'google' it....
I have created a VB6 application that needs to run one of its
procedures every 24 hours.  Since the VB6 timer has a maximum interval

I've seen some samples here (and in some sites) that use resource files to
store images used in the project, instead of storing the same images in
endless forms.
How can I create this resource file? Can I do it just with VB6 or do I need

         When the Timer control should accept the new Interval value:
1.
with the next Cycle
or

As a self taught VB user I came to this forum to get help, and I did get
help, but when I found I could not progress further I asked for further help,

I am but I still enjoy trying to solve VB problems ...

I want to know the number of files in a known folder. How can I write a
code in VBA that show me this number? Would you please help me?

I have a VB6 program that prints reports. I am having a problem with about 4
out of 25 users that cannot print. It gives them an error message. The
program is located on a NT server and it appears that all the rights are the
same. Are there any temp variables that are created ...

I'm trying to create an out-of-process DLL.  I created a simple DLL with the
following and compiled it.
Public Function GetReptList(ByVal vKey As Long) As String
Select Case vKey

I have four text boxes (FirstName, MI, LastName, FullName)
I want to be able to fill in the FullName text box WHILE typing in the
FirstName field. Then I want to type in the MI field while updating the
FullName text box. And finally, I want to type in the LastName text box

We just changed our network domain name and my local computer name changed as
well and now I'm having problems with all of my VB 6 ActiveX DLL's and OCX's
and also 3rd party VB controls.
When trying to compile a VB6 ActiveX DLL or OCX the compile seems to work

Is it possible to have one VB6 application raise events in a
separately running VB6 application.  If so, could you give me a few
pointers as to how to begin to make that work.
As always, thanks in advance.

if I try the following command in a dos window
Rename c:\new\joe.txt jack.txt
it renames the file , but when i try to use the shell command in VB6

This is a stupid question.  I ask that everyone please be patient.  I
am not a VB script writer.  However, I have a script that has been
