VB Forum / General 2 / September 2003

I have an app that uses Word for report writing. On one machine I am getting
an "automation error - out of memory" whenever I use the Find mechanism to
locate some text for replacement and am looking for some ideas as to what it
might be.

Assume I have the following code:
Dim VarByte As Byte
Dim VarInt As Integer
Dim VarStr As String

G'day All,
Is there a directory dialog? Something like the ShowOpen dialog in the
common controls. I want the user to retrieve a path without having to select
a file in the dialog.

QUESTION #1
   I am working on a timer. I have the following code which works kind of
OK.
           If Form1.WindowState = 1 Then Form1.WindowState = 0

   I cannot believe that reading in a simple text file is as complicated as
the Help file seems to imply. "fso" this and "textstreams" that...
   Someone please tell me there is a simple way to read in a line of text
from a file.

The following code works as expected when running on a
win '98 system but not at all when running on a Win 2000
system.
Dim PrtName as Printer

G'day all,
Can someone get me started with how to search for a particular file? Say

Combo1(8) = Equipment

G'day All,
Is there a reference in the MSDN for all the Windows API functions that VB
can use?
If so what is it under?

Hello, can anyone tell me what i am missing here??
I have a textbox named "txtLidcode" I have a datagrid named "data"
I have a command button named "command3" The datdagrid has a datasource of
an ado control named "adodc1". When the "command3" button is clicked i have

Is there a way to print a report with NO datasource specified?  I need to
print a blank worksheet for my client. (well with some shapes and lines on
it)
This is the code that causes an Invalid Data Source message box to appear.

     I am trying to make my vb program find the path of the msn messenger
application (I want this to be done automatically on which ever computer it
is downloaded).
     The code I use is returning the wrong path: that of the vb executable

I'm curios are there code generators for VB and if so can any one suggest a
good one?
Thanks,
VAL

I'm going through Dan Appleman's book on API and am getting so confused.
Can anyone suggest additional resources that might help me get the fog in my
brain cleared?
Thanks

I have a problem:
on a form I placed a scrollbar, but when the scrollbar is active and I use
the mousewheel of the mouse
it does not scroll like in every other program.
