VB Forum / General / February 2008

My program is working fine at my office.
Details are:
Windows 2000 professional
VB6 - enterprise

Beginner question:
I might be going about this all wrong to start with, but Im having
trouble doing something like this (very simplified example):
for a = 1 to 10

I have a problem with displaying characters in VB6 source code. Following is
what I want to enter in my source code (this is part of a barcode printing
routine):
S=S+Chr$(27)+"H0005"+Chr$(27)+"V0065"+Chr$(27)+"K9B"+"批次代码:"

I have a math problem:
I want to divide for example 10 by 3.
How can I make sure that the result will be 4?
When I do it this way... 10\3 then I get 3, which will be 9 altogether.

Is there any concensus on a formula for Kbps or Mbps?
I'm thinking...
  ((Bytes * 8) / KM) / Seconds
Where KM is either 1000 or 1000000.  (Insert disksize joke here.)

My current (old) project uses a regular serial text file to store program
settings as well as information about the different plots and lines and such
found on the price charts created by the program. So I the user draws a
line, or squares, or types text, or whatever on the chart ...

A while back there was some discussion of send message and Vista,
and iirc Karl Peterson developed a work around.
Does any one have a link?

I don't know if I'm in the correct discussion group or not.  If I'm not,
please let me know.  
I created a vbScript to deploy a set of printers found in my Active
Directory.  I am deploying these printers by using a line similar to this:

I have one statement is a Form Sub _Change routine that generates a compile
error " Type declaration character does not match declare data type" .
If I put the statement in a module I get no error, what is up???  see code
below.

I have tracked down that my VB6 application is failing on the call to:
   App.LogEvent "My Message", vbLogEventTypeInformation
with the error:
   Run-time error '-2147024882 (8007000e)':

If you have Vista? Can you see why this software does not install on Vista?
It is a vb6.0 app that does not install on Vista.  I have not used any
DotNETfeatures.

I have a undocumented .dll I wish to use within a VB app, first of all, is
it easy to incorporate a .dll into an App, is VB brainy enough to know what
the .dll is expecting for commands?
Or shall I quit whilst I'm ahead and not even attempt it, I've never used

I'm trying to write a one line text file using FSO.  The twist is placing
the date (mostly numbers) to specific columns on that one line.  I have 19
different fields that need to occupy specific space, e.g. one must be placed
in cols 28-33.  Ideas?  Thanks.
