I have a requirement to convert some 16 character hex strings to decimal. I
have several routines which will do this in VB6, but as the results have
around 19 characters, they are over the maximum which can be stored in a
LONG. I can change the code to make them doubles, but then ...

I have an app which maintains records in an SQL Server database. On
one form there are several text boxes and a DataCombo box (a drop-down

but when its finished, I want it to return some values as to what it
found and problems that it encountered.
I have tried using the stdin and stdout from VB6 before, but it seems

I'm not looking for inside the VB6 Editor, but in an application written
with VB6.

Is there a way to add a command to the toolbar to pop up the text file?
Thanks

I have a form, no border, not maximized. The form can appear anywhere on the
screen. In form load, the position and size the form needs to be is
calculated and set, then using Bitblt an image of the screen is put on the
form so that if nothing else is on or drawn on to the form ...
