VB Forum / General / February 2008

Hi all.  I thought that when vb.net arrived that vb6 was over with.  I
do most of my development work in MS Access.  I purchased vb.net 2003
and did not like having it.
My questions are:

I have a 1D array, populated with a list of values extracted from a SQL
database.
I would like to be able to report on the number of unique values in the
column together with a count of each of these values.

I need to write a VB6 program to monitor a guys PC and track how much time
he spends playing Solitair and minesweeper. I can sneak it on to his PC and
have it run silently and create a text file on a network shared folder.
I'm having trouble finding out how to determine which ...

I have the following code to dump data from an AD search into a datatable.
This all appears to work fine, but my question is, how can I actually SEE
the data that is being placed in the rows? I can't seem to be able to figure
that bit out!

I have created a 3D chart, and need to display values for the X, Y and Z
axis, but can only get it to display numbers (and major/minor ticks) on
the X and Z axis, but not the Y axis.
Does anyone know how to get the Y axis to display the scale as well?

I am sure I have seen the information I wanted before, but have been unable
to find what I am looking for searching Google and was hoping the experts
here could help.
I have a program that uses MS Word and Excel documents and want to keep the

checkbox in graphical style
--------------------------
If I do this:
checkbox.BackColor = vbRed

I am sorry to ask but I couldn't find the correct declarations...
I always wrote "Dim s" instead of "Dim s as string", and I am learning
the correct declarations now.
Can anybody please tell me how to do it correctly here?

          I have an array of 8 checkboxes (graphical style) inside a frame,
each box the same, having width 255, touching each other  and  all placed in
a single row
When placing them maually, I have noticed that vbasic placed them this way

I read this Secunia bulletin: http://secunia.com/advisories/28563/
This is a security vulnerability in the way VB handles .dsr files and may
result in an attacker having the ability to execute arbitrary code on a
victim's machine.  

I'm using VB6 (of course), and write a lot of programs that communicate
across our LAN, with mapped drives or shared folders. This works fine, most
of the time. Sometimes, the program bombs because it cannot read a mapped
drive or network share. Obviously, if the location is not ...

   I have a large list of Names. They are often repeated as in the example
below:
       Joe Bloggs            123456    ABCDE
       Barney Rybble      822323    ZSEWR

I have database storing Chinese characters and wish to show the same in my
VB application. But the characters are shown as '?' in VB6 application.
OS: Wisdows XP professional
VB 6 with SP6

I have a variable which is a double and has 6 decimal points. I need to know
to truncate the variable so that the result will be always exactly just 2
decimal points after the dot.
So if I have 24.788888 , I need to get 24.79

hi, i'm hoping someone can help because i now have no idea what to do.
we have a TM 2000 touchscreen by that was made by Sunso (sunso.nl). It
only has a power cord space, an ethernet connection and a usb connection
available on the actual monitor and a serial connection to show ...
