I have data coming from data base which I pulled into the MSHFlexGrid into
the MSHFlexGrid is in the below format:
Activity      Name       HoursMon   HoursTue   Total

I'm working with the VB source code of someone who does't work with us
anymore.  The programmer used some images in the code but I can't figure out
the names of the files he used.  When I go on the properties for the object,
I can tell there is a bitmap in the Picture Property, ...

So here is a tough one.  Is there a way in VB to read the number of
pages in a pdf file??

I'm hoping this isn't a foolish question, and hat I'm not missing something
terribly obvious...
I'm working on a program in VB6 with graphic backgrounds and buttons.  The
program /form window is ~800 x 600. (I subtracted space for the title bar and

Suppose I have several controls on a form. I want to keep the aspect/ratio of
the form while being resized.
I don't want to go to all the math for calculating all this. I know there is
a freeware(activeX)  or some source code that does this for you somewhere on

I am trying to use an Active X control that was developed in-house by a
former employee. It is a complicated camera control and I have used it
in several past VB projects. My problem now is getting it to work on a
brand new machine in a simple VB project. I first installed the ocx

I'm developing a user control based around a listbox and a few other bits
and pieces. Essentially, though, it's a list box on steroids, so I would
like to be able to offer full access to the properties and methods of the
list box to anyone who uses my control.

The funny thing is that vb6 is becoming obsolete not because it is
not good, or because it is not up for the job, but simply because
no one can purchase it any more. In fact vb6 is currently more
expensive 2nd hand on ebay than studio 2003/5 brand new.

I have written an ActiveX DLL that does lookups in a SQL Server
Express 2005 via ODBC.  This works fine but is horribly slow.  I would
like to test the possible speed improvement with an OLEDB connection,
but can't make it work.  All I get for an error is "Login failed for

Found what to me looks like some very nice code to send e-mails from VB at:

I thought I could use this to automate sending error data
from an application to my e-mail address.

I'd like to register myLibrary.tlb file located in App.Path folder of my
application from my application for later use by the application itself
(Late binding).
What code can I use to do it programmatically?

IsDate("Friday, 14 July 2006 09:57:33") returns an error.
IsDate("14 July 2006 09:57:33") is OK.
"Friday, 14 July 2006 09:57:33" is produced by FormatDateTime(someDate,
vbLongDate), so why doesn't IsDate validate?

I have an application that I am modifying. It uses SQL Server as a back end
and RDO in the client. I needed to add a screen to mantain table data (add,
change, delete rows), so I took a functioning frm file and copied it. After
editing it, including it in the project and making the ...
