We're currently saving the user's settings for our app to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Do I understand correctly that if we want to make our app available to
multiple users on one box that we should instead be saving this information
to HKEY_USERS?

Using VB 6 how do I obtain Date Photo Taken for a JPG ?

I have a user running XP with a 64-bit processor that receives the following
error when installing our app. What's interesting is that I have dozens of
users with 64-bit processors (including my own) that installed the standard
VB6 32-bit app without incident.

A friend is doing a stats class, and he told me about a problem the lecturer
was harping on about. He described it as the floating point problem.
However, he hasn't really explained it in detail, and I have been both
surprised by it, and don't really understand it.

I'm new to scripting within Excel, and I am wondering if it is possible to
write a script for an Advanced Filter where the Criteria Range is itself a
variable.  I would like to filter the data in a spreadsheet with the data in
a single column of another sheet.  Since the amount ...

Our app is generating an exception when closing in XP (no problems in all
other WIN versions).  For puposes of getting a revised version of our app
out to a customer who won't wait until we figure out which control is
causing the problem, we have added the code displayed below to a ...

Probably an old chestnut but I'll venture forth nonetheless.
How can I determine the useable area on the display?
Screen.Height and Screen.Width gives me the full screen size (in twips) but
it doesn't take into consideration things like the app bar/systray. I want

Hi, all.
Is there anyother faster way to format MSHFLEXGRID's cell backcolor?
It's really slow when you have many rows.
I need to set odd rows in light green and even rows in white.

To determine the platform (Win95, Win98, WinME, WinNT 3.51, WinNT 4, Win2K,
etc.), is it better to use the SysInfo control or the GetVersionEx API call?
Also, is there an up-to-date map somewhere for parsing out OSPlatform and
OSVersion into meaningful strings rather than numbers?

I'm making a Visual Basic program with an array of shape controls
(squares) on a form. There are going to be hundreds of squares, along
with other controls. I'm lining the squares up in columns. So when I
get to the bottom of one column, I make the next square in the top of

Like the subject says, is there a way to make a toolbar so that it can be
moved and docked to any border of the main form?  Heck, I can't even find a
way to enable the drag handle normally found on the leftmost edge. Somebody
please shove me in the right direction.

How do I kill a running process in vb2005?
I'm coming from a scripting background and can do this with a line of code
in a batch file or vbs, but can't seem to find an example for vb2005.
I have a simple configuration tool that needs to kill a process, prompt the

I have a project group, in a specific location on disk, that contains
several projects. There is the main EXE and a few ActiveX DLLs.
The main project references one of the DLLs, which in turn references
another DLL. So far so good.

As I copy and paste a group of controls (squares) into a Visual Basic
form, my computer freezes up for a bit. This was not a surprise to me.
However, as I paste another group of squares onto the form, the lag
time gets longer and longer. For example, the fifth time I pasted
